Description Aurelien Gateau 2005-09-09 16:36:31 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.5 
OS:                Linux

I created a file named $KDEDIR/share/config/kresources/contact/stdrc, which declared a dir resource but it was ignored. KDE only reads resources from the .kde dir. The attached patch fix this. I fixed two things:

1. Don't use locateLocal to find the config file, so that the one in $KDEDIR is not ignored.

2. Don't use General/ResourceKeys to get the list of resources. The problem of this KConfig entry is that it uses readListEntry, which is not "cascade-compliant": it won't merge the list from $KDEDIR and the list from .kde. Instead of this, I get the list of groups from KConfig.groupList() and remove those which do not start with Resource_. This way config-cascading works.

PS: The General/PassiveResourceKeys could also be removed, since all resources seems to have a ResourceIsActive entry. I didn't do it because I wanted to minimize the amount of changes.

Dear reporter, the resources handling got redone for KF5 and KF6 based PIM applications.

If you still encounter the issues you had in the past, please report them to the current maintained and updated PIM applications you use

Thanks a lot!
