Description Ladislav Nesnera 2008-06-28 21:40:12 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux

Export to mobile first shows this prompt:
Please connect your Mobile Phone to your computer and press Continue to start exporting the selected personal contacts.
Please note that if your Mobile Phone is not properly connected the following detection phase might take up to two minutes, during which KAddressbook will behave unresponsively.
and after that error message "Gnokii is not yet configured"
Konsole contains:
LOG: debug mask is 0x1                                                                                                 
Config read from file /home/nesnera/.gnokiirc.

The XGnokii works with my phone correctly.

It doesn't work to import contacts either

Gnokii configuration check patch

It looks like a wrong condition in if-statement that checks if Gnokii is configured.
This patch fixes the problem for me.

Comment 5 Marcel Dischinger 2009-02-05 16:48:04 UTC

There was actually an API change in 0.6.15:
"gn_cfg_phone_load() now returns GN_ERR_NONE on success, instead of true"
(from the official ChangeLog).
So kaddressbook should check against this value.

Gnokii configuration check patch 2

Checking for a valid gnokii-configuration seems to be of little use as gnokii comes with a sample/default configuration-file placed in /etc/gnokiirc. So this test will always succeed even when the user did not create a custom configuration.

However thanks to Alexander and Marcel I created a patch checking for GN_ERR_NONE.
I run the following tests on my box:
- gnokkii configured via ~/.gnokiirc : import/export works as expected :)
- no ~/.gnokiirc : fallback to /etc/gnokiirc giving an error after quite some time, asking the user to run "gnokii --identify", good enough
- no ~/.gnokiirc nor /etc/gnokiirc : unlikely situation but gives the desired "please configure gnokii" message

We could add a check for the gnokii-api version at compile-time but since the new api had been released almost 2 years ago, I felt this isn't necessary.

Qt:  4.5
Kde: 4.2.1
kaddressbook: 4.2.1
gnokii: 0.6.27

Comment 7 Tobias Koenig 2009-08-05 16:36:40 UTC

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.
