Description Denis Prost 2011-09-10 10:06:38 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

After having created a contacts group, unless I missed something, there's no way to check its contents or re-edit it.
Or maybe the group creation failed (though I got no error message), since I can't check it afterwards.
Anyway, it seems there's something wrong with group creation or viewing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) create one contacts group
2) search in kaddresbook for a way to view it

Actual Results:  
there's nothing in the interface that lets the user view the group contents.

Expected Results:  
group created and appearing somewhere in the GUI to let the user view its contents (for example in the left panel under "personal contacts" or whatever addressbook it was created in)

OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0-CHAKRA
Compiler: gcc

Select the group in the contact list to view its members with email addresses in the contact view pane.
Doubleclick the group in the contact list to edit, a dialog will allow you to add/remove members, or change the email address used for members that have more addresses. 

Please reopen if you still have this problem using KDE 4.8 or greater.

Thanks for the explanation. I was used to the old kde3 kaddressbook way where contacts groups were in a separate area and did not notice that new way to manage them. Not so straightforward to my point, but anyway it works, that's what matters !
