Hi,

is it possible to copy contacts between accounts, via some "trick" or tool?

I know i can copy various settings from the "users/ccp" folder and some seem to-be stored on the server side. Is there a way to copy personal contacts, without manually copy&paste them in chat?

If someone would have the time, I would like to have a tool that accomplish this in the following way;

Synchronize settings between mutual agreeing parties on server. (Conflict resolution could be done on case by case bases, with shift it could be, "do for all equal cases", (as used in Total Commander for example.))

For me it would enable a sync between alts, and I would select the following settings;

- contacts
- notes on contacts
- EVE notes
- bookmarks
- market quick-bar
- saved fittings depository
- overview settings

I assume others would like that too.

As suggestion; disable all sync options the moment there is a transfer / sale of a character.

If you belong to a player corporation, you can drag and drop contacts between personal contacts and corporation contacts. Of course that won't work if you're not in the same corporation.

Problem is contacts are not saved in those files, so u cant copy them via this method.
