Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs hi, in kde 3 we could search a contact (for the phone number) with the beegle (like krunner alt + f2) now in kde 4, when i search a contact with krunner i am only promoted to send an email to the contact and not to view the contact details i think is a smart feature and it would be nice to add this again, thanks a lot Dimitri

May be a "plasma-runner-kaddressbook" would be a nice idea

I'd like to see this implemented too, but in a little different way: It should show an item item in the result list per matching email, so I'd be able to decide in KRunner whether I want to send a mail to JohnDoe's private or business address: Input: John Doe Results: - Send e-Mail to: John Doe <john.doe@business.local> - Send e-Mail to: John Doe <john.doe@personal.local> So if there's one day a Addressbook/Kopete/KCall/whatever runner, which handles Addressbook/Instant Messaging/Telephony/whatever data, the matches for "John Doe" could look like this: - View Contact Details for: John Doe, Bakerstreet 8, 12345 This-Town - Send e-Mail to: John Doe <john.doe@business.local> - Send e-Mail to: John Doe <john.doe@personal.local> - Call: John Doe (Work) - 555-123-456 - Call: John Doe (Home) - 555-987-654 - Send Instant Message to: John Doe <john@jabber.local> What do you think about this? So in the end, most of this runners should be written using Akonadi + KDE's default settings for applications like "Instant Messenger" KRunner.
The order (for my use case) should be: - Send e-Mail to: John Doe <john.doe@business.local> - Send e-Mail to: John Doe <john.doe@personal.local> - Call: John Doe (Work) - 555-123-456 - Call: John Doe (Home) - 555-987-654 - Send Instant Message to: John Doe <john@jabber.local> - View Contact Details for: John Doe, Bakerstreet 8, 12345 This-Town The difference is that the address is the last item. Usually I send emails or I phone. I need the address less times.

I have a runner for Kopete contacts in playground. Anything I can do to get this to work with it? It can do the IM contacts for you. I don't see an fd.o DBus interface for IM clients to hook into. Maybe that should be pushed for as well?

Regarding the IM: I was referring to the Instant Messenger stored in the contact details + retrieving the details using Akonadi. Would the D-BUS interface be needed for triggering the "Send message to person Foo using protocol Bar"? Regards, Elias P.

Since this currently interfaces with Kopete (to my knowledge), I think my runner can do what you want, at least in part. > Would the D-BUS interface be needed for triggering the "Send message to person > Foo using protocol Bar"? Unfortunately, I am limited to what Kopete's DBus interface exports. Here are some limitations: * Only searches by display name (all I can get from DBus) * Status message fetching is broken (bug #204230) * Can't choose protocol to use (I couldn't figure out how to get the protocol for an account, so all i can do is say "talk to <foo>" and Kopete chooses which account to use) But, it can do the following: * Set the main identity to online ("connect") or offline ("disconnect") * Set the status for the main identity (with optional message) ("status <status> [message]") * Set the status message for the main identity ("message <message>") * Start chat ("<text matching display name>")
From just a glance, Pidgin's DBus interface (<http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/DbusHowto>) looks closer to what an IM client DBus interface should be. What shouldn't be there, I'm not sure, I'd have to look at it closer.
is there a solution for this ?
Wait for KDE-PIM 4.5 (September). Then we'll have this.
Thanks very much :)

It works fine this feature, thanks a lot. I have a question: When i type the contact in the krunner i have two principal choices: 1. Send a message to the contact 2. The name of the contact with the title 'PersonContact' with the icon of the kaddressbook. When i click on the second option it opens the contact in kwrite. I think would be more usefull to open it in kaddressbook
(In reply to comment #15) > It works fine this feature, thanks a lot. Actually i tested the feature to send a message not to see the details > > When i click on the second option it opens the contact in kwrite. > I think would be more usefull to open it in kaddressbook This was supposed to be added
it is planned for kdepim 4.6 ?
Still present in KDE 4.8.3. When typing the name of the contact in krunner we have available the actions to send mail, phone to the contact but not an action to open it and show its details
I used to search a contact before 5 years with beagle. I typed a part of the name and i have the resaults. I clicked on the contact and i had the card of the contact with all the details. This feature was present before.
Reassigning to Akonadi, that doesn't depend on krunner
Still present in 4.8.5 I would like to type the name of the contact in the runner and have an option to display the details of the contact. I was used to do this action in KDE 3.5 with beagle, and i wait 4 years to be implemented in krunner since the beagle is replaced by nepomuk.
Still present in 4.9.2.
Just thought I'd ping this request.. Contacts krunner in KDE 4.11.3 still doesn't show contact information or useful options when searching for a contact.. Currently, searching for a contact shows the contact name, a label of "Contact" with the Nepomuk icon next to it. Selecting the Contact entry in the krunner drop-down opens Dolphin in what looks like a Nepomuk search showing emails mentioning that contact. While useful, it only handles one use-case. Perhaps the Contact krunner could show a business-card like entry when your search matches a contact.. showing the primary name, email, IM, address.. * Clicking on the name would do a Nepomuk search * Clicking the email address would bring up the default email composer * Clicking the IM screen name would bring up a chat window * Clicking their phone number would try to call them Next to the IM screen name could be a button linking to the IM logs for that contact. Next to the Email address could be a tiny button linking to the email search for that contact.
Agree with the above comment - I'm missing this function in current krunner (4.10.5): Type the contact in krunner Have a result to click and show in a window (in kadderessbook) the profile of the contact
There seems to be a relation to bug #222675
(In reply to comment #25) > There seems to be a relation to bug #222675 Yes it is in relation. But i don't have the result in vcard in krunner. Probably because i don't use Nepomuk (?)
This would still be a great feature :^) Maybe with the Plasma5 Milou front-end to krunner this will be easier to implement?
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
Created attachment 136528 [details] attachment-2598-0.html plasma 5.12.8 doesn't seem to include the kontact or kaddressbook krunner's at all anymore. Krunner integration would still be a great feature to have.
On KDE Neon the package is called libkf5akonadisearch-plugins. And to me it seems like we would need to display multiline matches in KRunner for this, which is currently not supported.
