             Bug #: 42546
           Summary: Need TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONTACT_LIST_PROPERTIES
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-glib
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: guillaume.desmottes at collabora.co.uk
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


If a simple app wants to just offers UI to add contacts, it needs to prepare
TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CONTACT_LIST to grab the "can-change-contact-list"
GObject property. This will also prepare all the contacts of the contact list
which is a bit unfortunate.

This is also a problem when starting to port Empathy to the new API. I need
this property but not the full contact list as Folks prepares it for me. And
while Folks doesn't use the new API, that means I'll have to prepare everything
a second time for no reason.
