Version: 4.4.1 (using 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31-20-generic somehow contacts get lost in my groups. Again and again if I edit a contact group, I find those "name doesn't exist" errors (my backtranslation from German).
Hej Martin, make sure you use the 'Personal Contacts' resource when storing contact groups. The 'vCard file' or 'vCard Directory' resource do not support to store contact groups. So remove the vCard file/directory resource from kaddressbook, shutdown kaddressbook/kontact, run the application 'kaddressbookmigrator', start kaddressbook again, add the 'Personal Contact' resource with the default path that it suggests. Ciao, Tobias
Hi Tobias, I already use the personal contacts resource, so this is not the problem.
These 'contacts no longer exists' messages appear if you have deleted the contacts that were referenced in this group. Have you added/removed the address book with these contacts inside? Ciao, Tobias
No, I haven't deleted or removed any contacts. I might have deleted a few doubles, that could have caused the problem. But sometimes, when I want to add an entry to a list, when typing, the name of the person appears twice, although I only have one entry in my addressbook. When selecting the first one, no email address is added, I have to select the second one to have an email address displayed in the list. Anyway, it would be nice to be able to see which contacts the list complains about, to be able to check whether I really have deleted them or if something else is wrong...
Hej Martin, in KDE 4.5 only contacts with email addresses will be available in the autocompletion, so this issue is already fixed. However we can't give a hint which contact is missing the the contact group, because we store only the id of the contact in there. So if the contact is removed from Akonadi and the id can not be found anymore we just can give the hint that the contact is not available anymore. Ciao, Tobias
