Description Martin Steigerwald 2010-05-07 21:02:34 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Currently KAddressBook / Akonadi seems to support vCard, CSV, LDIF, GMX file based addressbooks. The wizard should try to auto-detect the format of the addressbook file the user points at.

It would also be a good idea for it to check for addressbooks on removable devices during first-run as importing from there would be very useful.
