Description Sabine Faure 2009-09-25 18:00:30 UTC

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

- Launch Kontact and go to KAB
- Create two address book (AB1 and AB2)
- Create a new contact in AB1 (ex: John Smith)
- Select it and try to move it to AB2 by drag and drop while holding the Ctrl key.

The contact is copied into AB2 and not just moved there.

I think this feature could be useful if the contact is created by mistake in the wrong address book by the user for example.

There also could be a 'cut' entry in the context menu when right clicking on a contact

Hej Sabine,

this has been fixed now.
If you drag&drop a contact to another address book folder,
a popup menu will appear that asks you what action (copy, move
or link) shall be performed (like you might know from Dolphin file
manager).

However you need a recent kdelibs/kdeui version for getting this work!

Ciao,
Tobias

It is implemented now.

When drag and dropping contacts into a different address book a pop up dialogue appears asking if the user wishes to Move or Copy the contacts.
