Description m.wege 2010-01-24 13:50:51 UTC

Version:           4.4 rc2 (using 4.3.95 (KDE 4.3.95 (KDE 4.4 RC2)), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-18-generic

Would be good, if Kaddressbook allowed to distinguish between country code, regional code, phone no and phone-extension. This could help to create different export formats (e.g. without country code or regional code) or suggest city and country in the address fields.

It would be great if you could add this feature. I wait since long time for this. 

In the attachment you can find a screenshot of how mac is handling this issue.

Thanks a lot

In fact the problem is not trivial, because not all country codes have the same length. For example Germany has +41 and the US had +1 and Ethiopia has +251. Another problem is, that the countries have different number lengths. That means we can not use the same format for all countries.

However I have written a small patch that solves these problems. The patch is not finish yet but it is still working. In the attachment you can find this first version.

I didn't check the patch but I don't think kaddressbook is the right place for this.

kdelibs is a better place for language specific stuff (kdelibs/kdecore/localization).

Comment 9 m.wege 2011-12-22 23:24:56 UTC

I do not think this language specific. As far as I know countrycodes are always the same line +49 for Germany, +33 for France, +34 for Spain. The wish is to be able to distinguish them, so that they can be used and handled for different purposes. So I would assume Kaddressbook or may Akonadi is the right place.
