🔧 Developer Summary: Unable to Edit Selected Contact in KAddressBook ❖ Context A user reported that editing a selected contact does not work in the current version of KAddressBook provided in this codebase. The issue may involve either missing or non-functional UI triggers for contact modification. ❖ Findings from Source Analysis No editContact() Method Found A recursive scan of the entire /src directory revealed no definition or call to any editContact-like function in either MainWidget, MainWindow, or related files. There are also no slot bindings (e.g., slotEditContact, editRequested) associated with UI actions. Likely External or Modular Editor It's probable that editing is handled via an external or modular component such as ContactEditor or through Akonadi jobs (ItemEditJob, etc.), but this component does not appear in the submitted archive. Potential Causes for Disabled Editing Read-only address book backends (e.g., DAV, LDAP) may block editing. Missing or broken UI triggers for launching the editor. Akonadi service misconfiguration may prevent edit operations from executing. ❖ Recommended Debugging Steps Verify Address Book Properties Ensure the relevant address book is writable and not marked read-only. Inspect Akonadi Logs Use akonadictl status and akonadiconsole to confirm if contact items can be modified. Trace UI Action Handlers Identify where the contact list selection is handled and whether any QAction or signal/slot is supposed to launch a contact editor. Confirm Editor Integration Look for the presence and connection of components like ContactEditorDialog, Akonadi::ItemEditJob, or similar. ❖ Suggested Fix If editing functionality is indeed missing from this branch or version: Reintegrate or rebind editing triggers (e.g., via toolbar or context menu). Ensure ContactEditor or equivalent class is invoked with the selected Akonadi::Item. |
