> Where are contact pics in the P910?
Bookmark topic
As you'll know, when you add a pic to a contact in the P9xx, it creates a copy. At least I assume it does, because if you then delete the original from your pictures folder, the contact keeps a copy.
However as far as I know, you can't then make another copy.
So for all the contacts I have with pics attached, how can I get copies of those pics?
I again assume (horrible I know) that the phone places a copy of the pic somewhere. I've had a look through with file manager and couldn't find any.
Any ideas?

those pics are merged into your contact base and aren`t stored anywhere. send your contacts via BT to the PC, it will be a single .vcf file with all your contacts, or synchronize with outlook - then you will be able (from PC) to extract those pic

Extract them how?
When I send the contacts to the PC via BT, I get the .vcf file, but it's a single contact. I can find no way to separate them.
And if I synchronise with Outlook, the photos don't synch, using Outlook2003, my understanding is that this never worked. But the pics aren't copied anywhere.
Any ideas?

not a true solution i know but you could view the contact pic and take a screenshot, then crop the pic.
Surely the pic file can be found using SMan? I'll have a go . . .
nope, no joy i'm afraid - found the contacts.cdb file but sman couldn't open, beam or paste it anywhere. It looks like the screenshot thing is the only way.

This would be VERY useful - surely its stored as a pic format somewhere!!!

It's probably saved in the contacts file, together with the contact data, in some scrambled form or something.
It's very likely that it's not a separate pic format somewhere.
But this is just a wild guess.

Umm, no?
The P9xx takes a copy of the pic, so even if you delete the pic from your pictures folder it will still remain attached to the contact.

Before copying the pic to the contact, copy it to the pc and then to the contact. That is what I do, to have a backup of that picture.
