[Vobject] Unable to add photo to vcard (Address Book OS X 10.6.4)

[Markus Eberle]

Roberto,

what I am doing is:

             jpg = getImageAttachment(profilePageName)
             if not jpg is None:
                 if options.verbose:
                     print "Image available"
                 j.add('photo')
                 j.photo.value = jpg
                 j.photo.encoding_param = "BASE64"
                 j.photo.type_param = "JPEG"

where j = vobject.vCard()

and jpg is a BASE64 encoded image.

It worked until 10.6.3 but as you say now I just checked and it does not work anymore in 10.6.4. :-(

Sorry.

I have tried setting vcard.wacky_apple_photo_serialize to True or False, but that does not help.  I've also tried different variations of the encoding_param, as well as adding/removing the photo type_param.
