SUMMARY
***
Bidirectional synchronization between Kontact and an Android Smartphone or any of the targeted operating systems
***


WISHLIST
It is a pity that currently only a one-way synchronization from a smartphone to KDE is offered.
Kontact, one of the KDE flagships, should synchronize from and to 
1. KAddressbook
2. KOrgnanizer
3. KNotes
This is an everyday requirement for most of us. I hope this is at least a near future target.

OBSERVED RESULT
I have set Contacts plugin to synchronize contacts between the desktop and the connected device.  
KDE Connect creates the directory:  
Home/.local/share/kpeoplevcard/kdeconnect.../  
on the desktop machine containing one .vcf file for each of my contacts on the mobile phone.  
KAddressbook cannot handle these files. (Probably, because they were not created by Akonadi.  

EXPECTED RESULT  
For the contacts part, I would expect a new addressbook with all transferred contacts.  
Synchronization should be possible with calendar entries as well.  
The same for KNotes and a note-taking app on the phone would be very much appreciated.  

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS  
**1. Desktop**  
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20220922

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  
Of course, it should work for all targeted operating systems.
