This section explains the behaviour of most of the dialogs that come up in GnomeCard. Those that are not documented here are either messages or "standard", like the Save As and Open dialogs.
You will get to this dialog when selecting "Edit Card" or "Add Card" from the toolbar, or Edit/Add Card or Edit/Card options from the menu bar.
This is the largest dialog of all, and the one that is used to add or modify data from the existing or new records in the addressbook. It is divided in several sections which cover the different types of data that a card can have. If the dialog came up to edit the data from an existing card, the used fields will be filled up with the card's data. You may add or modify any of the information presented. Otherwise, the dialog will come up empty, ready to receive all the information to be added.
Some of the most complicated settings are presented here for the user to modify.
Customize the columns to be shown by the List View through this interfase. At the left, the possible columns that GnomeCard can present on the list are shown. At the right, the columns that the List View currently shows can be seen.
Select a Possible Column from the left and press Add to pass it to the right. If the Column is already in the Displayed Columns set, Add will be grayed out.
To remove a Displayed Column from the list, select it on the right and press Remove.
Selecting a Displayed Column and pressing Move Up or Move Down. A Column will be displayed to the leftmost in the List View if it is on the top of the Displayed Columns list.
The Find Dialog will make a pattern search starting from the current record on every field of every card and set the current record to the first one that matches the criteria. If the lookup reaches the top or the bottom of the list, GnomeCard will ask if the search should be continued.
Pattern matching is done using the typical shell wildcards. Check bash (1) under the "Pathname Expansion" subsection for a complete reference.
Case sensitiveness and direction of the search. If case sensitiveness is set on, "Rivas" won't match "rivas".
