Description Tanja Schulte 2012-03-31 13:50:17 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/534.34 (KHTML, like Gecko) rekonq Safari/534.34
Build Identifier: 

In the contacts view of Kontact there are some strange huge labyrinth like graphics for some contacts (what for? where from?), some that huge that they fill half the screen, some little smaller. Is there something garbled? There doesn't seem to be a way to disable them. I don't know if this is a bug or just a wish.

Reproducible: Sometimes



Expected Results:  
Just text information, no huge peculiar graphics blocks, at least an option to turn those graphics off if they are intended

QRcodes (what you call labyrinths) can be disabled in kaddressbook. In the View menu, uncheck "show QR codes"

Comment 2 Tanja Schulte 2012-04-01 11:31:33 UTC

I see, ok, thank you. But then: shouldn't that setting also be reachable via kontact?

Comment 3 Christophe Marin 2012-04-01 12:25:53 UTC

It is. If you don't see this option in the view menu while using kontact, it likely means you're using an old version.

Comment 4 Tanja Schulte 2012-04-01 18:04:18 UTC

Well, there is no "view" menu in Kontact when the contacts are shown. I use KDE SC 4.8.1 (Kubuntu).

Comment 5 Christophe Marin 2012-04-03 08:01:00 UTC

what does 'kaddressbook --version' return ?

Comment 6 Janet 2012-05-05 00:56:02 UTC

I can confirm that there is no "view" menu in kontact when the addressbook is shown.

kaddressbook --version:
Qt: 4.8.1
KDE: 4.8.2
Adressbuch: 4.8.2
