Package: kaddressbook
Version: 4:3.4.0-0pre1
Severity: important

Exactly the same bug applies to KAdressbook found in kde 3.3.

Ok, here's the situation:
I have a directory filled with some vcards. I want KAdressbook (KAB) to
handle this directory like a real adressbook, so i import it via: add
adressbook -> directory -> "read-only unchecked!" and format: vcard.

The import works well, all contacts are correctly shown.

Now I edit a contact but instead of changing the actual file of this
specific contact, KAB creates a new one (in this directory) so my
contact appears twice! I think, this is not the behaviour most users
expect.


Right now I'm using KDE 3.4 from alioth, but this bug also applies to
the kde-3.3 version of KAB which is currently in sid.


Sincerely

Bastian

Hello,

I'm closing this bug.
See below the right usage of KAB with vcard files.

best regards,
Olivier

That's the wrong way, you should never modify the vcard directory
KAddressBook is working on manually or give KAddressBook an already
existing one.

KAddressBook will keep the vcards in such a Directory AddressBook by its
own schema, e.g. the files have the UID of the contact as name, so when
you rename the files or store names with random names there KAddressBook
won't work correctly.

To fix this problem for you to the following:

1) Create an _empty_ directory
2) Create a Directory AddressBook which points to this directory
3) Import the contacts from your old directory _via_ KAddressBook into
the Directory AddressBook

Ciao,
Tobias
