Description Thomas Bleher 2015-06-14 21:27:35 UTC

Setup:
- kaddressbook with two configured addressbooks:
  - one existing file backed address book, full with contacts
  - one new address book, backed by ownCloud-CardDAV

It should be possible to select several or all contacts in the old address book and move them to the new address book by drag-n-drop.

This seems to work, and the addresses all show up locally in the new address book, but in fact only one of the addresses is synced (even when waiting for a long time).

There is no indication that the sync did not work. The issue is perfectly reproducible.

Looking at akonadiconsole, one can see that there is a move event for all moved contacts, but only one modify event which adds the remote id. The other entries have no remote id (see screenshots).

This makes the CardDAV functionality basically unusable, because one can never be sure that all entries are in fact synced (unless there is some way to force a sync of the unsynced entries, but I found no way to do that).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select two contacts in a local addressbook
2. Move both of them via drag-and-drop to a CardDAV-backed address book
3. Look at the remote side to see which were synced

Actual Results:  
Only one of them was synced.

Expected Results:  
All of them were synced.

KAddressbook 4:4.13.3-0ubuntu0.1 (though About->Version curiously reports the version as 4.14.6!)
Ubuntu Vivid
OwnCloud 8.0.4

I'm highly interested in getting this bug fixed. What additional information should I provide? Would a public ownCloud test instance help?

Comment 4 kramski 2015-11-07 18:33:30 UTC

Same Problem here with KAddressbook 5.0.2, Owncloud 8.1.3 and OC's builtin app 
Contacts 0.4.0.1. (Also tried Contacts Plus 1.0.9 - same result.)

However, when importing a .csv file directly into the CardDAV adress book, ALL new contacts get synced, so a workaround may be to ex- and reimport your existing local data.

(I'm on Arch Linux, KAddressBook 5.0.2, KDE Frameworks 5.15.0, Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.0))

Works for me now with KAddressBook 5.2.1.

Looks like fixing https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356995 also solved this one.

Thank you for reporting this bug in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "CONFIRMED" when replying. Thank you!

Thanks for asking :)
I don't use KAddressbook anymore (mostly just using the webfrontend of NextCloud now). But kramski@web.de reported that it works for him now, so I guess this bug can be closed.
