Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux When I compose an email message, and I press the "Select..." button next to the 'To:' field, a window opens up called "Select Recipient". When the 'Address book:' filter is set to "All", it shows each one of my contacts twice. If I go into the 'Address book:' filter, I noticed that my address books are are duplicated in the list. For instance, I have an address book named "Ubuntu", and it is listed twice in the drop down menu for the 'Address book:' filter. I could not find this bug anywhere here on the KDE bug list, but noticed someone on the Ubuntu/Malone bug list filed a bug similar. Here is a link to that bug for further information: https://launchpad.net/bugs/47919 Thank you!!! -- RichJohnson
I do only see duplicate entries for contacts I do have in two address books (e.g. in my personal address book and in the universities address book). I see that your address books are already duplicated for some reason, so the duplication of the contacts is just a symptom of the duplication of the address books. Do the entries in the Ubuntu address book probably all have the Category Ubuntu? That would explain why "Ubuntu" appears twice in the address book selection. One entry refers to the address book and the other to the category. But still this shouldn't lead to duplicated contacts in "All". At least, it doesn't for me.
I have the same issue, I originally posted at https://launchpad.net/bugs/47919 . This is a little different for me in that I have three address books in the kaddressbook module and I can't assign a contact to just one of these books. The contact entries themselves are duplicated and appear two or three times in the list (when I have all three address books displayed at the same time). The books themselves are just listed once each. I can't assign a contact becuase it just makes more duplicate entries. This is close to a stock install with the address book vcf stored locally in my user profile. I searched bug reports here and with google but did not find this posted, please forgive if it is a duplicate. I've been adding contacts to my address book by right-clicking on the email address in the kontact window and choosing Add to Address Book. It's listing some of the names twice in the Contacts list, but if I delete one of them it deletes them both so there's really kind of only one entry. I have three Address Books configured in the Contacts window, and thought maybe a contact is listed multiple times because it's in more than one Address Book. I tried to right-click on the contact and choose Store Contact In to assign, and just get the message "The resource '/home/magdalen/.kde/share/apps/kabc/stdvcf' is locked by application 'kontact'." For a moment I got around this by closing Kontact and on a commandline using the command kaddressbook & but sometimes I still get the locked vcf message and i'm not having much luck assiging my contacts to one and only one address book. poking around in .kde/share/apps/kabc I notice the ones in teh stdvcf folder that have their own files are the ones duplicated multiple times . . . . the ones stored in the main vcf files are fine, or so it looks.
This was caused by a patch in Kubuntu to fix a bug in kde 3.5.1 but which was no longer needed.
