Ticket #644 (new defect)
kdepim-sync does not write formatted name (FN) corretly (using irmc-sync at other end)

Description
If I add new contacts on my mobile that have only one name, then the formatted name field is empty after syncing to kontact. I think this should be generated.
I'm using the trunk version of today.

I guess the best solution to workaround this issue is to provide (yet another) converter parameter. So FN <-> N conversion is done optionally for certain combination of device and PIMs.
The FN field in PIMs should be the "primary" or only field to display the entry in a list. It should fallback to N field if FN isn't present.... FN <-> N conversion is really ugly. I don't want see this enabled by default.
We should contact kdepim and evo2 upstream development about this issue.

I wrote the FN generator for OpenSync? 0.2x. This code was deactivated in OpenSync? 0.3x. I don't know why, but I guess this has something to do with the new merger.
Daniel, can you please comment on this?
