Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs Had one contact in a separate file, was using "dir address book" in kontact to access the data. Upon modifying the data, the name changed from "123" to some cryptic string (unique identifier?). Also the revision-tag that was placed in the original file was removed. The original files have been created by syncing a mobile phone (using msynctool) to a vcard30-storageformat into a directory. anonymised form of the original vcard: BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 ADR;TYPE=HOME:;;abc;abc;;12345;abc ADR;TYPE=WORK:;;abc;abc;;12345;abc EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET:abc@example.com N:Paul;Mueller;;; ORG:abc; REV:20070731T124117Z TEL;TYPE=WORK:+99 (123) 456789 TEL;TYPE=CELL:+99 (234) 567890 URL:http://www.example.com/ END:VCARD and of the resulting vcard after editing/saving the entry in kontact: BEGIN:VCARD ADR;TYPE=HOME:;;abc;abc;;12345;abc ADR;TYPE=WORK:;;abc;abc;;12345;abc CLASS:PUBLIC EMAIL:abc@example.com FN:Paul Mueller N:Paul;Mueller;;; ORG:abc REV:2008-12-28T14:53:20Z TEL;TYPE=WORK:+99 (123) 456789 TEL;TYPE=CELL:+99 (234) 567890 UID:2WuGkU8Odu URL:http://www.example.com/ VERSION:3.0 END:VCARD PS: also tracked at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478346
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kontact (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
