How to view VCF files without importing to Contacts App

[Papa_Doc]

I can quick-look it but it is scanty information
I would not want to import and mess it up with my existing contacts

You can use the vCard Web Viewer by going to http://www.micro-progs.com/vcardviewer.

This works with single and multiple entry vCards.

You can view them using Quicklook.

QuickLook is useless... shows no tel numbers, adresses, comments

vCardWeb Viewer does show more information but it is annoying as it always requires verification that I am not a robot. But this is the best alternative for now. Thanx

Shows everything for me: names, addresses, multiple phone numbers, emails, comments.

Quicklook will only show the full contact info of a vCard if is a single contact. If you have a multiple contact vCard then Quicklook only shows the names of the contacts in the group.

Is there any documentation in support files for mac?

OK, I'm obviously missing something here. Here are two of my cards as seen by Quicklook. Nothing is missing.

If you highlight 2 or more contacts or select a group and then drag them to your desktop, it will create a multi-contact vCard.

If you use Quicklook to view that vCard you will only see the name of the contacts in the group.

That is what I said and thought too
So in order to see the contents you have to import to Contacts, where they will mess up the existiting contacts
so the app does not allow you to undo.
vCardWeb Viewer is an alternative to view without importing to Contacts
