Version: 4.4 (using 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31-19-generic If you create an addressbook based on a existing vcf file you'll see contacts will start appearing on the list but you'll never know how much is left and whether it is finised or not.
Hej Albert, we don't know when the loading is finished, Akonadi has no concept of being finished, there can always appear or disappear contacts. The view just shows what's available inside Akonadi. Ciao, Tobias
Do you really think the user cares about the techincal limitations of your solution? Importing something and never getting a dialog confirming if it worked or not it's just bad practice. Of course it's your project, and you can do what you want with it, but consider that if instead of me it was a random user that filed the bug he would have gone "WTF" with the answer and we'd had a user less.
Hej Albert, maybe the user doesn't care about the technical limitations, but I do, because I have to implement it... and if it is technically not possible, what exactly shall I do?!? Furthermore the user will get an error if creating a new vcard-based address book does _not_ work, so if there is no error message, everything is ok! Why to state the obviously? And if you really do an Import of a vCard (via File -> Import -> vCard), you'll get a message box that everything has been imported correctly.
Fix your technique ;-) The thing is that the fact that not all contacts appear at the same time, i mean they seem to be loaded in batches, made me think a "I'm done" message would be nice to have. But Ok, if the user gets a message if things fail i'm happy enough :-)
