How do you stop the Facebook Sync from changing the default contact picture?

[Sidewindr]

I have looked far and wide for a solution for this but can't seem to find one ..

I have contact pictures for my contacts that I have chosen and assigned to my contacts manually and are stored as the Google contact picture, I have an issue with the facebook app when it syncs a facebook profile picture update the application forces the contacts default picture to be the facebook picture.

I don't want it to do this, it can change the facebook linked contact picture but why does it have to change the contacts default picture?? Is there some way this can be blocked or stopped from within Android contacts??

This has been prevalent since before I can remember with the facebook app and sync so I'm hoping someone might have some ideas or solutions??

Surely submitting a bug to facebook is not the solution as we SHOULD be able to control and/or lock portions of our contacts details..

When you first time, install the facebook app doesn't it asks about syncing?

If I'm right, it asks like sync with all contacts, don't sync, sync with existing contacts or so .. like that.

I usually selects "Do not sync" and it will not be synced.
