Yes, unfortunately Evo currently does not support importing of VCards by
drag-n-drop. I do hope, his will be implemented in future versions...

Well, not a perfect solution, but this at least avoids importing too
many files manually:

You can throw all those single vcf files into one huge vcf file, thus
only one VCard import is needed. Create the vcf list with a command like
this:

$ cat *.vcf > list.vcf


HTH at least for future reference... ;)
