[Bug 625796] New: kaddressbook will not allow the use of groups
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625796 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625796#c0 Summary: kaddressbook will not allow the use of groups Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Applications AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: bill@oldmillfarm.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4 The option to add a new group or add a contact to a group is grayed out if I have an addressbook selected. I have default and akonadi available. The first time I open kaddressbook after a reboot, there is no addressbook selected and the "new group" option is available. It disappears when an addressbook is selected. I searched the kde forums and there seemed to be a fix by adding the kde backport repo (at least for kubuntu and fedora.) I added the opensuse 11.3 UpdateApplication repo but it contained no kaddressbook files and the problem continues. I am using kde 4.4.4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open kaddressbook 2.select any available address book 3.new group option grays out Actual Results: no groups available Expected Results: Allowed me to add a group, such as "family" or "work" -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is the addressbook you select marked read-only in its properties? I cannot reproduce this with 11.3 default or the KDE:Distro:Stable packages I am preparing for an online update with. I am presuming you mean /home/Prexy/.local/share/contacts. When opening kaddressbook, this is called akonadi. I also have default for an addressbook but it is not selected. Checking on /home/Prexy/.local/share/contacts, the "Read only" box is not checked. Using dolphin and selecting the contacts folder, only the owner (me) was allowed write access. I changed this to allow everyone write access and apply to all subfolders and files.
Opening kaddressbook, Groups (or add new group) is available until I select an addressbook. Then the group option immediately grays out. This is the same as before. Am I checking the right place for permissions? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I meant in the Address Book Properties dialog you see when you right click an address book. Can you check that?
I assumed that your file system is owned by and read-write for your KDE user.
I was able to reproduce this with a vcard file resource however, which seems to have forgotten the path to the vcard file. Investigating further.
Right-clicking on either addressbook brings up a dialog box that I see when I click on the address book properties "wrench" in upper right of kaddressbook window. Checking both addressbooks, Read-only box is NOT checked. I see no other place to check or change permissions in this dialog box. Both addressbook folders contain vcf files. Was there another way to import the old address entries? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you create an entirely new user, can you create and populate groups?
I tried 2 things. First, cause it was easier, I tried to use kaddressbook as root. That failed because of akonadi problems. I then created a user and opened kaddressbook. That preselected the "Personal Contacts" type of address book. It allowed me to enter contacts and create a new group "Family" and add some contacts to that group. I did not think to try to import my big contacts file, which is vcard. I tried this in vbox running 11.4 M3 with the same result. Also, I could not figure out how to add more contacts to my existing group. I created a new group and added 2 contacts. But I could see anyway to add more once the group had been created. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
