Description Baldrun Orv 2009-10-14 12:27:39 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux

Problem:
--------
A person's details view doesn't show all the data which is provided in the editing dialogue. For me as a user it is inconvenient having to go into the editing dialogue to get the missing information. 
Allowing the user to choose what information is given in the details view is a good idea, but unfortunately this is limited to birthday, postal addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers and websites.

Suggestion:
-----------
Please let the details view show all the information which is provided in the editing dialogue (including categories, privacy status, nickname, husband's or wife's name, logo, geo-data, customized entry fields, etc.). 
It would be a very convenient feature being able to decided for each piece of information if it is shown in the details view or not.

I support this.

There is a lot of space available in the detail-window. 
The Information for the contacts should be visible without openeing the editing window for several reasons:
convenience - Having all the information available without opening another window is just faster
logic - the EDITING dialog should be used for making CHANGES to the information, not viewing them.

I would be happy if i could choose in the settings what info I could see at the right side.

Is this against the rules at bugs.kde.org?

Example of what isn't shown is the messenger and voice data (from phone category). And in the homepage category you can enter an IM-address for skype, MSN messenger etc. but it isn't shown. Only one IM-address is shown and it is not shown which one.
