Class ContactDB

java.lang.Object
  ch.claudio.contactdb.ContactDB

public class ContactDB
extends java.lang.Object

This application collects messages from different communication channels like Mail, different Instant Messenger clients etc. and groups them so that the conversation with a person can be looked at.

GUI

Chronical view has on the left a time line. Next to it there can be messages or pictures. A "fuzzy" line indicates to which time range the picture/message belongs.

The range of the timeline can be varied by zooming in and out and scrolling around.

Filters allow to limit the displayed data to everything belonging to a person.

Ideas

• AutoSearch: Looks itself in the "usual places" for chat log or mail files.
• InfoUpdate: Update profile information directly via network if available.
• Verified information: User should be able to lock some information by tagging it as verified or manually entered, so that later imports will not overwrite it without consent. E.g. address and age information from profiles are often untrustworthy.

For the GUI: Make expensive paint operations so, that they detect if further update requests are pending, and then abort.
