Carpal tunnel like feeling when trying to select each contact to be imported with current format? Is there any way to select as a group?

Chosen solution

"Importing" suggests to me reading in a file, usually CSV format, containing multiple contacts.

Given that you're faced with selecting each contact individually, it seems you're not doing "importing" as I would understand the term.

Where are you "importing" from and to?

This looks like you're importing multiple vCards (vcf files), which is easily accomplished with MoreFunctionsForAddressBook:
