Description intruderkw 2007-04-04 12:41:13 UTC

Version:           3.5.6 (using KDE 3.5.6 "release 19.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-21.12-default

KAddressBook crash after I make a new network ressource, I let address blank, let format:vCard, push OK, so, KAB try to download the addresses, that work's not, a error dialog appears, I push OK and KAB crash. After that I can not use KAB because it try to download that network addresses each time I launch it, and each time appears error dialog->push OK->crash. The only way to bring KAB to life back is to delete the network ressource entry in ~/.kde/share/config/kresources/contact/stdrc.

SVN commit 656878 by tokoe:

Disable compilation of remote resource for further KDE 3.X
releases, as is causes datalose which can't be fixed without
a major structural change in the whole library.

Comment 3 Andreas Petzold 2007-08-15 13:13:11 UTC

While I understand that a feature that can cause catastrophic data loss should be fixed and if it cannot be fixed probably needs to be disabled, would it be possible to at least keep read-only network resources? Since I switched to read-only network address books I didn't experience any major problems and for sure no data loss.

If there was a working solution that could sync my KABC address books over the network I wouldn't complain. My previous experience with kitchensync was far from good (would you expect a resource that is defined as read-only to be completely messed up?). Maybe I should try again, or maybe someone (possibly on the kde-pim list) can give me advise on a working solution to sync KABC address books between different computers via the network.

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.
