Oh… now I know what I did.
Apparently awhile ago I added a custom field called Photo and set it to X-GOOGLE0. I can’ even remember why I did this. That added Photo as an option in the editor. Last night I unticked the Photo option hoping to suppress the photos, but it didn’t. I then deleted the custom field, but that didn’t get rid of them either, but it did remove Photo from the list of fields in the editor.

Now I feel like I am going crazy. I could have sworn I had seen photo as an option there. Now when I look it isn’t there. I must really need to see an eye doctor or something. 😳
Thanks Philippe.
Bill
I didn’t realize I could just delete them. Thanks for that.
I meant the Cardbook option Preferences > Edition > Photo that I mentioned in my original posting. It sounded from the description that unticking that option would cause it to not be displayed.
Bill
OK… I misunderstood what that option means. What does unticking that option do?
I have some contacts that have pictures that I would just as soon not have to see. I would like to suppress them in the editor window as well as in the lower pane of the main window which shows the details when you select a contact in the list.
Thanks,
Bill
Hi Philippe,
I am still a bit confused. I probably didn’t state my question very well.
In version 72.5 my gmail groups are being synced to Cardbook categories.
I was just afraid, based on the release notes, that in version 72.8 this would no longer be possible. Will I still be able to sync my gmail groups to categories as in version 72.5?
Thanks,
BillLast night I closed TB and restarted it and the progress bar was still blue half way and not moving. I tried a couple times and had the same. This morning the progress bar had disappeared and the “problem” has not recurred.

Today I tried the opposite. In CardBook, I deleted one of the two contact that I mentioned in my last reply. Then I went to bed. When I woke up today, that contact had been deleted from Google Contacts. I did not restart Thunderbird or click on Synchronize. So it looks like it is syncing both ways without my telling it to do so.
Bill
After posting the screen shot I ran another test. I added two contacts to my Google Contacts. Thunderbird was already running. I made no changes to anything else. I did not initiate a sync in CardBook. I left the CardBook tab showing. About an hour or so after adding the new contacts in Google Contacts, they appeared in CardBook.
Bill
I definetly do not have that option checked. Here is a screen shot of that portion of the preferences.
Bill
Interesting… I had only created one new contact. This was an accident on my part so I deleted it and updated one existing contact and then did the sync.
In any case, I did update to 58.8 and the status seems to be changing correctly after a sync.
Thanks for the quick fix!

Hi Philippe.
I noticed the heading of the issue in GitLab, Some contacts can’t be synced. Could you describe the issue a bit for me. I was able to sync, but the status didn’t change.
I also was wondering if I should be posting my questions/bugs on GitLab rather than in the forum.
