Description ron roberts 2004-12-29 20:00:57 UTC
Version:           3.3.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
OS:                Linux

When I use the Export Address Book function to export in cvs format, only a portion of the addresses get exported.  Ex. I have 276 entries in my address book, I either choose "Select All" or I highlight all 276 and then use EXPORT/EXPORT CVS List..., and I only get 76 exported.  I was able to select a lesser number (about 20 or so at a time) and export into a number of separate files.

I am using PCLinuxOS NV-p8  see: pclinuxonline.com

Hi Ron,

I tested it with 10000 contacts and it works fine (ok, it took a while ;)).
Make sure you hadn't entered something in the search line edit, because this reduces the number of visible/exported contacts.

Ciao,
Tobias

Tobias,

Thank you for your time and effort.  

I reviewed my export process, and I did not have anything in the "search" 
line.  

What I did find out is that when I opened the file that I had exported 
(addressbook.csv) in both the Gnumeric and Open Office spreadsheets, when the 
74th person had been parsed and entered into a row per person with the data 
inn the proper cells of those rows, then the data of multiple people were 
being put into each cell of the 75th row instead of the different fields of 
the 75th person being put into the proper cells of the 75th row, then moving 
to a new row for the next person.

Strange how it worked for 74 rows (people) then faulted.

I think the data is being exported, but something in the file that confuses 
the parsing when the file is opening.

I guess now the process is to determine if it was the fault of the export 
function or the fault of the spreadsheet programs in opening a .cvs file.

If you have any thoughts, please pass them on.  Otherwise, thank you very 
much.

Ron

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.
