Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2012-10-04 18:13:49 UTC
there is just this code:

      if ( mActions.contains( StandardContactActionManager::CreateContactGroup ) ) {
        mActions[ StandardContactActionManager::CreateContactGroup ]->setEnabled( hasWritableCollection( KABC::ContactGroup::mimeType() ) );
      }

=> so you select a item which is not writable ?
Comment 4 S. Burmeister 2012-10-04 19:16:46 UTC
Since I can add normal contacts the resource seems writable.
Comment 5 Laurent Montel 2012-10-05 05:59:38 UTC
so no idea...
Comment 6 Tobias Koenig 2013-03-03 13:59:35 UTC
Hej,

the Akonadi resource, which provides the collection (folder) you want to add the Contact group to, does not support to store Contact groups. What kind of resource it that? Can you test with a recent version, please?
Comment 7 S. Burmeister 2013-03-03 14:26:41 UTC
Google contacts.
Comment 8 Christoph Feck 2013-04-14 12:01:21 UTC
Reopen based on recent change.
Comment 9 Daniel Vrátil 2013-04-15 06:57:05 UTC
Support for contacts groups has been added in KDE 4.11

Note that File -> New -> Group will never work with the Google resource, since Google does not support this kind of groups (i.e. vCard-based - essentially just a contact with multiple different email addresses). 

Instead a group will be a subcollection containing full-featured contacts. See http://www.progdan.cz/2013/03/kde-pim-google-integration-and-more/ for more details.

This does seem to work perfectly. Now if a contact is present in multiple groups, the contact shows up multiple times in the list. This really not good as it makes me feel that there are duplicates.
