Description Urs Wolfer 2008-06-17 20:23:21 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

I'm not able to drag an mail address from KMail (e.g. "From:" field) to a new composers "To:" field.

I get the following message: "Unable to access ..."

Confirmed with 1.9.52.
Comment 2 Allen Winter 2008-06-18 14:48:35 UTC 
I investigate this a bit last night.

So far I know the following:
- the mime type for the drag data is "text/plain" or "uri/foo" (I forget right now), but KVCardDrag::mimeType expects "text/directory" 

- the drag data is of the form "mailto:Allen Winter<winter@kde.org>"

if we change KVCardDrag::mimeType() to return "text/plain", we no longer get the error dialog nor a crash.  However, KABC::VCardConverter().parseVCard doesn't seem to know how to parse a "mailto:address", so the drop is empty

Any chances to get this fixed soon? It's a quite annoying bug for me.
Comment 4 Allen Winter 2008-07-20 23:21:43 UTC 
Urs,

Thomas and I took a look today and determined that the bug is due to a behavior change in KUrl.  We have a query into dfaure about how to proceed.

There is a good chance we can squeeze in a fix before tagging on Tuesday.
