Version: (using KDE 4.1.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources It seems to me like KAddressbook uses a very outdated country list. Parts of it must be at least 10 years old! Let me mention some of the wrong things: *There isn't any country called "Zaire" anymore. *There isn't any country called "Yugoslavia" anymore. *There isn't any country called "Serbia and Montenegro" anymore. *There is a country called Kosovo, but it's not in the list. There may be more mistakes too, so, as said in another bug, why not drop the whole list? A more correct and updated one exists somewhere else in KDE! If this isn't possible, here is an updated country list: http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166_code_lists.htm
Here using: Qt: 4.4.3 + qt-copy-patches-889120 KDE: 4.2.60 (KDE 4.2.60 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090106)) kdelibs svn rev. 910402 / kdebase svn rev. 910402 kdepim svn rev. 909458 on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.10 I can reproduce this bug
Should be fixed in r969783 See http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=969783.
Just as a side note: Kosovo is still not in the list. I guess that's because Kosovo is not officially recognized throughout the world (I believe Switzerland did acknowledge Kosovo). It seems the countries available in systemsettings are aligned the ISO list of countries: http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166_code_lists/english_country_names_and_code_elements.htm and there, Kosovo is not listed yet. I'm in no position to a) judge the social/political implications to all involved parties of recognizing or not recognizing a country and/or adding or not adding a country to the list handled in KDE. But I compared the ISO list with the countries currently available (in KDE-4.2.3 that is). And it seems there is a slight difference between the ISO list and the KDE list. This is probably not the right place to put this, but I wanted to drop it *somewhere*: I tried to list the country code and the country name for each region. ANTARCTICA is not yet managed as region at all. AFRICAN, SOUTHERN yt Mayotte re Réunion AMERCIA, SOUTH gf French Guiana hm Heard Island and McDonald Islands ANTARCTICA aq Antarctica bw Bouvet Island tf French Southern Territories gs South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands CARIBBEAN bl Saint Barthélemy mf Saint Martin EUROPE NORHERN sj Svalbard and Jan Mayen EUROPE, WESTERN gg Guernsey im Isle of Man je Jersey OCEANIA io British Indian Ocean Territory mp Northern Mariana Islands I did not invest too much time into verifying everything. Maybe I misplaced a country into a wrong region. HTH Urs
The development of the old KAddressBook will be discontinued for KDE 4.4. Since the new application has the same name, but a completly new code base we close all bug reports against the old version and ask the submitters to resend there reports against the new product.
