KAddressBook is configured with a VCard Directory resource, which appeared initially to be working properly.

Somehow - not sure when or if there was a cause - the directory pathname went blank in the configuration.  This means that going to the configuration by either KAddressBook - context menu in "Address Book" column - Address Book Properties or akonadiconsole - Agents tab - context menu over resource - Configure Natively showed the "Directory" as blank.

The result of this was that changes or additions to the address book appeared to be accepted and displayed, but no VCards were being written to the cards directory.  There was no error message or any other indication that there was any problem.  The last modification time on any card in the directory was a month or so ago, but I had definitely made updates and added new contacts since then.

Setting the correct path in the configuration synchronised the resource with again no error message or any other indication, but recent updates were completely lost.  With this correction, any further updates or additions updated or created VCards there as expected.



Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
As above.


Actual Results:  
Updates/additions were lost, with no error indication.


Expected Results:  
There should at least have been an error message that (a) the configuration was incomplete;  (b) it was not possible to update/create a VCard file.
