Description Johannes Wienke 2009-10-02 21:10:31 UTC

Version:           0.70.90 (using KDE 4.3.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I now had it the third time in the last few months, that after starting kopete my complete contact list was rebuilt from the server information and all custom information I provided were lost. That means custom user names were gone and meta contacts were lost.

I don't know how to provide more information because I did nothing else than starting kopete like I usually do.

I just noticed that I got an empty contact for every old meta contact I had. Most of them don't even have names.

Hi, you're not alone. I'm also having this problem 
for the second time. Sadly i don't know how to 
reproduce this.

I'm running KDE-4.3.2 on gentoo linux here.

Comment 5 Johannes Wienke 2009-10-12 16:32:25 UTC

Can this be related to updates in the icq protocol? I once heard something about an xml file that's downloaded whenever the icq protocol is changed. Maybe that can explain the rate at which this occurs.

I have some jabber+msn accounts in my list
which are also affected. Everything is splitted 
up again.

This is hell as we're talking about 30+ meta contacts.

:(

Same here with Kopete 0.80.2 and KDE 4.3.2 (Kubuntu Jaunty).
