Description Volker Augustin 2003-01-26 15:42:37 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

For big cities in Germany www.stadtplandienst.de would be a better way to map the address to a map. So it would be nice if the location plugin could
a) use several such services
b) prioritize them (quality-wise)

Hi Volker, 
 
this is implemented now in CVS HEAD. It's not yet perfect, but I work on it. 
 
Ciao, 
Tobias

Instead of priority you should be able to specify which service to use for a
contact (perhaps with a possibility to specify in the config which service will
be the default choice). This would be particularly useful for people with
contacts in many countries.

Ooohhh - I just thought about an extension of this. If you have nothing better
to do let the specification be associated with a country (or even one or more
countries). Then it would be possible to change the service for a country and
you wouldn't have to update it for all people with address in that country. That
way it would work also for a person (rich people...) with addresses in several
countries.

Hi,

www.dasoertliche.de is very useful for aerching phonenumbers. So if you could 
insert it in next release it would be helpful for many pepole i think. But for 
that you need a variable for surname.

The development of the old KAddressBook will be discontinued for KDE 4.4.
Since the new application has the same name, but a completly new code base we close all bug reports against the old version and ask the submitters to resend there reports against the new product.
