Description Sabine Faure 2009-08-16 22:57:38 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

- Launch KAddressBook.
- Go to File/Import/Import CSV file...
- Select a CSV file containing a few contacts to import and rename the column titles from 'Undefined' to whatever it should be (ex: formatted name, Home Phone...).
- Click on the 'ok' button.
- Select a folder in KAddressBook

The contacts are successfully imported (only the Note field is lost somehow. I'll retest this and report another bug about it if needed).

- Redo the same action as above once more and select the same folder.

The exact same contacts are imported again and appear on the list of contacts

Note: it is also possible to create an identical contact twice from the 'New Contact' button.

SVN REV 1011519

Hej Sabine,

KAddressBook does not intent to disallow the user to create the same contact
twice since it is techincally not 100% possible to detect whether a contact is
equal to another contact. If the user wants to have it twice in its address book,
why not? In a later version KAddressBook will however provide functionality to
merge multiple contacts into one.

Ciao,
Tobias

Ok. I did not know that it was intended.
I am verifying this bug then.
