Description trebla 2011-09-04 03:06:04 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

New addresses in KDE Address Book currently default to United States of America. Ability to change this to default to any of the other countries on the drop-down list would be convenient.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
There needs to be an option in kde settings to change the default country for the address book.

KAddressbook should use the country set in your KDE locale settings as default. Is this not working for you?

Comment 2 trebla 2012-02-02 00:07:32 UTC

No.  Always defaults to USA when adding new contacts.  NB Can't use
Kmail at all at the moment - Akonadi server won't start.  Are you
interested in me sending a crash report, or are all fc14 compatible
strands now unsupported?

Ok,  I will try to investigate further when I find time, or you get back up 
running.

default locale is being honored for new contact in kde neon 5.14.4
KAddressBook
Version 5.10.0
unsure when this was resolved but as its years old. closing
