Description Kevin Bader 2011-06-17 18:10:26 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

In the current version of KAddressbook (4.6.0) there is a new way of selecting contacts. Instead of showing all contacts of the selected folder along with any items lying in folders beneath the selection, in the new version only the contacts of the selected folders are listed.

Since I enjoyed using the previous style of selection to quickly filter contacts by categories (my subfolders), I kindly request an option to enable the old behaviour again.

(If this is more confusing than descriptive, I'd be glad to try it again :] )

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select the root folder of personal contacts

Actual Results:  
Only the contacts in the root folder, but not the contacts of the folders beneath the root folder are displayed. If I want to see them too, I have to manually select all subfolders and their subfolder and so on.

Expected Results:  
All contacts in my addressbook (in case of selecting the root folder) are displayed.
