[opensuse] Kaddressbook
Hi .. Well one more fopar not too big but dang irritating all the same In my address book i have groups setup so i can quickly filter out what i dont want now having moved to 11.3 and KDE4.4.4 where are the groups they have all gone and i cant find any mention of them anywhere , How o i get them back they are there because they are needed not for someone to come along and thow in the can Also where is all the configuration of Kaddressbook 2 things thats all contact actions > pick web browser or phone dialing skype or external app the LDAP well i dont use LDAP and i doubt most home users use LDAP where are the settings . This is a very very big backward step i cant remember it being this bad for a long time if this is thanks to the non functioning (running but for what) then i suggest we move away from it and lets get back with something that works and if that means multiple metadata staks then so be it this is a no hoper right now Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34-12-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 2" 07:52 up 10 days 21:50, 2 users, load average: 0.14, 0.07, 0.03 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No one has thrown anything in the can. Kaddressbook in 4.4.4 is known to have certain features currently unavailable. The groups you created are still there (from what I read on it) just not visible in 4.4.4 for various reasons. You may find it shows back up again in KDE4.5.0. or 4.5.1. Basically, they are working on it. I don't use KAddressBook... I look at it in KDE4.5.0 and I see a New Contact Group button... if I click it, I can add contact group members. It looks a bit like a mailing list function though... the old distribution list functionality. I assume this is not what you're looking for?
Also where is all the configuration of Kaddressbook 2 things thats all

It's being reworked and redesigned. Things aren't going to be quite right until they get it closer to the spec. What you see in the 4.4.4 release of KDE4 is not the final goal of KAddressBook... it's a snapshot of how far the developers got so far. There is a lot more planned for it - again, from what I read when I searched for info on this before replying. KDE.org has a load of info available... including indications of where these well used apps should end up. Before you go off about releasing incomplete apps etc etc etc... at least they released something that works rather than adding in all the functionality you demand all at once and having it completely broken. Better to have a working app now and the prospect of getting the features added back in as the releases increment than have everything thrown in and it be hopelessly broken.

No it is the ability to have your addressbook contacts sorted as for instance i have a group called QMC and another QMC-Comm Friends and so on if i choose only members of QMC are listed and no others apart from crossovers from other groups

Right, that's what I thought. I poked around in the KDE forums a bit.. seems it's not possible in the 4.4.4 release.

Every app is doing it.. even Firefox. I can see the point... scalability.. reliability.. no more flat file storage. It does introduce now issues though.

I poked the KDE PIM bug list, but nothing jumped out at me as specific to this feature.

Hi Pete I had issues also with Kontact and I checked for bugs on KDE found it this is what I did. -KDE Menu> System Settings -> Advanced -> KDE Resources (Contacts) - Click "Add ..." - Select "Akonadi Address Books ..." and follow prompts - Back at Contacts, select new A/B - Click "Use as Standard" Now my address book are available from the drop down

Dude, are you blind? Have you read this thread at all, or did you just jump on it to flame people? Key features of Kaddressbook have gone missing. That constituted "don't work" in anybody's book.

Kaddressbook was mentioned. Its the whole point of this thread.
Do try to follow along. It starts here http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2010-08/msg01042.html then follow the next 4 messages in the thread. Up until you made your quote, this is how the thread commenced: WOW, another reason to - DUMP - KDE and go to GNOME !!!!!
You people are just like herpes. The symptoms go away, but really it doesn't.

as you can see. He's making a statement to DE. Thus, I commented on a comment about KDE4. Are we clear now? I sure hope so. I understand kaddressbook has issues, I don't use it. Fine. I won't comment on it. But when he's automatically trolling about KDE4 yet again, I get tired of reading the onslaught of KDE3 vs KDE4 crap on this list.

Then if it doesn't appeal to you, either work on it so it does, or shut up and move on. Little 5 year old kids don't bitch as much as the clowns that don't like KDE 4 do.

No one has thrown anything in the can.
Kaddressbook in 4.4.4 is known to have certain features currently unavailable. The groups you created are still there (from what I read on it) just not visible in 4.4.4 for various reasons. You may find it shows back up again in KDE4.5.0. or 4.5.1. Basically, they are working on it.
I don't use KAddressBook... I look at it in KDE4.5.0 and I see a New Contact Group button... if I click it, I can add contact group members. It looks a bit like a mailing list function though... the old distribution list functionality. I assume this is not what you're looking for? </snip> I do not see the above mentioned contact group button. I have KDE 4.5.0 installed but kaddressbook is still at 4.4.5, nothing newer avaible from openSUSE I can find.
Do you mean the Save List button above select on Composer? This works except for two problems I reported as KDE Bugs 247881 and 247886. Is the a factory version of kaddressbook I can test?

There is a beta release of kdepim 4.5 in the Build Service but I'm intentionally not giving more details because it currently has more serious regressions in kmail than kaddressbook 4.4.5 does vs 4.3 - it's not suitable for production data yet.

Right folks. I have patched in the old kaddressbook to the current packages, alongside the new one. The Build Service is currently recovering from a reboot so it will be a few hours until packages show up at the following repos. You can use osc to build it locally if you are impatient. The binary is 'koldaddressbook' and it will appear in the menus as 'KOldAddressbook' Tthe new version is still called 'kaddressbook'.

There are several threads from over the last week or two, that discuss this at length. The short of it is that as of 4.4 kaddressbook is missing the "group" functionality. The data is there, but not yet accessible until the akonadi integration is complete. That is done in 4.5 which can be updated to using the Factory KDE repo. Look for an explanation and solution in posts from Will Stephenson - search for subjects "where have categories gone in address book", "akonadi problem" and "kde 4.5 for released opensuse". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
