Description Aaron 2010-09-05 09:07:52 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

KAddressBook and Kontact from KDE 4.3.3 allowed selection of zero or more address books from which to display contacts in the contact list. KAddressBook and Kontact from 4.4.5 have removed this feature.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create 2 or more address books
Add at least one contact to each address book
View contact list in KAddressBook or Kontact

Actual Results:  
Only contacts from one address book can be displayed at a time.

Expected Results:  
Checkboxes next to each address book allow selection of which address book's contacts should be displayed in the contact list

Regression from KDE 4.3.3

Hej,

in KDE-PIM 4.5 you can enable multiple address books again and show all their content in one view.

Ciao,
Tobias

Apparently not fixed. Multiple addressbook functionality not been present through all iterations since version 4 appeared under Fedora.  Bug still present running Kaddressbook 4.5.2, Fedora 12
