I'd certainly update if that is so. > Not all is solved, but much is improved. I'm actually running kdepim-4.8.2-1.fc16.i686 I'm just testing kontact again. No, sadly, when I add a contact to a group it remains there for just 6 seconds. I added the contact by double-clicking on the group. This brings up a window with a blue strip near the top, with Name and EMail over it, If I click on this strip under Name a white space opens. I type in the name of one of the contacts in the address book, and the contact's email is filled in automatically. I click on OK at the bottom of the window, and the name and address appear in the group window to the right. This entry disappears after 6 seconds, as I said. I see there is a change to the file .kde/share/apps/kabs/distlists - a number is added after the group in question. But this number is not the UID of the contact. I should say I find the changes to Kontact/KAddressBook - in particular the facility to add different kinds of contact lists, Google Contacts, LDAP Contacts and local contacts - very exciting, suggesting that kdepim is moving towards an ideal solution. The fact remains that this particular part of the solution does not work for me at the moment. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
