That's the wrong way, you should never modify the vcard directory
KAddressBook is working on manually or give KAddressBook an already
existing one.
KAddressBook will keep the vcards in such a Directory AddressBook by its
own schema, e.g. the files have the UID of the contact as name, so when
you rename the files or store names with random names there KAddressBook
won't work correctly.
To fix this problem for you to the following:
1) Create an _empty_ directory
2) Create a Directory AddressBook which points to this directory
3) Import the contacts from your old directory _via_ KAddressBook into
the Directory AddressBook
Ciao,
Tobias
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. |
