Tricks

  • Subsume uses Address Book for names, nicknames and photos from your contacts, if open or hidden (you should set both it and Subsume to Open at Login).
  • You can add a custom relationship field to contacts called 'computer', with the bonjour computer name for that contact.
  • Add a custom relationship field to contacts called 'gender', to have gender specific alerts (values of male/female or m/f).
  • Complete the IM account fields for contacts, and you won't get duplicate alerts if a contact is already online.

Changes
