Additionally, the missing tag "FN" causes an error during import to other systems or synchronization. Still happens in kaddressbook 5.8.3, also the missing FN field is especially problematic as it make synchronization with other vCard compliant software (such as radicale) silently fail... The option to select a full name appears to be presesnt in KAddressBook 5.9.40 (current Git master).

There is a combo box below the last entry field which in English says "Display" (sorry, I don't know what the German equivalent would be) and has options for short name, full name, reverse name with comma etc. There are some problems with ths combo box - it does not update when the names are edited and, for an initially blank dialogue, when not dropped down it is tiny and blank - but that is a separate issue. Suggest resolution is changed to FIXED once the correct export of FN can be verified. |
Created attachment 103908 [details] Creation dialogue for the contact name which does not show a possibility to select the formatted name When entering the name of a new contact in the addressbook you cannot select how the formatted name shall look like. Hence new name appear always as <first name> <surname> in the list of contacts. However some people like myself want to sort the formatted name like this: <surname>, <first name>. Contacts which have been created in older versions retain their formatting and thus appear as wanted. When exporting the contact to vCard one can notice that the tag "FN:" is missing.
