Hi all
There has been some discussion coming up which I'd like to continue over here. Roundcube can have any number of address books (sources), mostly provided by plugins and LDAP configuration, which are all listed in the address book view. It's already possible to drag & drop one or more contacts from one source onto another which will result in a copy operation. Compared to the mail view this is not consistent because in mail context, dragging & dropping a message onto another folder will result in a move operation. Do you think the address book should behave the same as mail, meaning that the dropped contacts will be deleted in the source after copying to the new location succeeded? Of course this would only apply if the source is writeable.
Your feedback is welcome!

Im not sure you can compare mail context with address book context. Sources could be external to roundcube (google, company AD sources, etc), which could be also part of another mail environment in itself. At work I may only have the AD source, but at home I was able to combine work address book with home address book. So if I drag a contact from my company address book to my google address book I probably mean to copy, not to move. Especially if those address books have separate meaning outside of RC. I wouldn't want contacts to just disappear from my (private) google address book just cause I wanted to copy a contact into a work address book.
But I can also see how duplicate contacts could be a drag.

I like unification. So, let's do it. Of course we'll need Copy feature too.
