Speedial Import/Export

I've been using BitPim for a few weeks on two VX4400s that I and my wife 
recently acquired. It's really quite nice -- thanks to Roger and others 
who've maintained and improved it over the years.

But I have one ardent feature request...

Are there any plans to add speedial codes to BitPim phonebook import and 
export any time soon? I saw a message that said this was not high priority, 
but I hope this minimal change can be made in the near future.  Here's why...

Without these, phonebook import and export are really quite limited in 
usefulness.  I can maintain my VX4400 phonebook somewhere else convenient, 
but every time I import it, I have to insert the speed dials by hand using 
the BitPim phonebook interface. I can't see any way around this without at 
least speed dial import.  I'd really like to fill up my speed dial slots, 
or at least 30-40 of them, so this manual step is a major impediment to 
regular maintenance.

I'm not asking for csv export (though it would be nice). I can transform 
the VCard format to a spreadsheet in a number of ways -- I've done it for 
now with MS Access.  I don't know much Python or Perl, but I'll offer a 
deal -- if someone will add speed dial to the VCard export and csv and 
VCard import (or at very least, csv import), I'll learn enough Python to 
write and contribute a VCard->csv transformation (or maybe there's one out 
there somewhere).

Thanks. --David Lewis
