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
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?
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
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) akonadi 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
And i do wish we could get away from this reliance on databases in every application as for Mysql well never could see the need for something like that on a desktop it is a server function and thats where it needs to stay .
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.
Sure hope so cus it not up to much right now fortunately the laptop is still is still on 11.2 KDE 3.5.10 and working fine just means i have to get the lappy out just to do mailing labels ect or Committee lists bit annoying when i got a desktop on all the time with several times the power snipped (for 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" 09:00 up 10 days 22:58, 2 users, load average: 0.07, 0.03, 0.01 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
