Description Jan Paral 2010-03-24 18:16:28 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I'm not entirely sure whether this is a bug .. but Akonadi connector to VCF file stores a birthday date in the following format:
BDAY:1977-03-28T00:00:00
instead of:
BDAY:1977-03-28

This causes other programs (in this case Google contacts import) having a trouble to parse the date correctly.

Hej Jan,

we use the ISO date format here that is listed in vCard standard RFC 2426
as well. If google can't handle that, it is a bug in their software.

Ciao,
Tobias
