Ihmiset

Ihmiset on yksinkertainen yhteystietotietokanta, joka käyttää Haikun tiedostojärjestelmän attribuutteja osoitteiden ja muiden yhteystietojen tallentamiseksi. Jokainen yhteystieto on tallennettu yhteen Person-tiedostoon, jossa tiedot ovat erillisissä attribuuteissa. Kaikki on indekstoitu ja siksi etsittävissä kyselyllä.

The Group attribute at the bottom allows assigning a person to one or more groups. Useful for "mass mailing" a number of people who, for example, work on a specific project. The pop-up menu offers all currently existing groups. If a person belongs to more than one group, the group names are delimited with a ",".

These Person files are usually all saved in /boot/home/people/. To get a list of all your contacts, just open your people folder and display all attributes of interest. If you choose to organize your Person files in different folders, just use a query to display them all in one window.

You can treat these files like any other: You can sort according to attributes (even a second sorting order by holding SHIFT while clicking) and of course delete, duplicate or rename Person files. Even the contact information can be edited directly: Clicking on an attribute (or ALT E) to edit works just like renaming a file. Once you're in edit mode, TAB and SHIFT TAB will jump from column to column.
