Description Samuel Suther 2013-03-28 11:31:39 UTC 
I realy wonder, why kaddress (or Kontact at all) not have a way to import vcf (Vcards) directly to adressbook.






Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open A Webpage, which hae a Downloadable VCard (Like http://www.kreativ-konzept.com/kontakt.php)
2. Click with Mouse to the Vcard, and Download the File
3. Open the downloaded File (or each other vcf-File on your Disk only by one Mouse-Click)



Expected Results:  
KaddressBook should ask... "Do you want to import this adress"
Perfection would be: Kadressbook first looks for dublicate Adresses and give a Information or a merge Dialoge.
Comment 1 Laurent Montel 2013-03-28 13:19:49 UTC 
I confirm it.
Will implement it soon.

One up for this bug fix / feature request
I believe there are many 'bugs' files here that boil down to the same root cause, i.e. that kaddressbook/kontact cant handle vcard other than through the import filter which (as far I understand) can only be used though the GUI.

Laurent, if possible please implement in a general way, i.e. so that command line operations along the lines of
kaddressbook --import [file].vcf
or
[some script that yields vcard data] > kaddressbook
will make sense

Enabling kaddressbook to handle vcard as MIME type should also fix those other 'bugs' that report that vcards found by krunner will just open as plain text files in Kate or that vcard-fiels can not be imported easily from Dolphin.

Thanks for your kind consideration :)

Oki will implement it tomorrow I hope.
I put on my todo list for tomorrow.
Will investigate.

It's right there is a lot of bug that I must look at and after some time I forgot... sorry.

There is a .desktop file to allow to import it directly from dolphin.
