           Summary: The save template feature when importing a .csv file
                    is not consistent.
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sabine at kdab.net
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

- Configure Akonadi with an IMAP and Kolab resource.
- Launch Kaddressbook.
- Find a .csv file with 2 Contacts in it (or alternatively export 2 Contacts in
that format)
- Go to File menu/Import CSV file...
- Browse to enter the .csv file in 'File to import'
- Change the 'Undefined' headings in proper headings
- Click on 'Save Template...'
- A 'Save as' dialogue opens directly in the following folder
.../.kde-trunk/share/apps/kontact/csv-templates.

This would suggest that you can browse and save the file somewhere else but in
fact the template has to be saved in this folder otherwise it does not work.

- Name the template (ex: Template A) and click on 'Save'
- A 'Template Name' dialogue appears asking you again for the name. Enter a
different name (Template B). Click on 'Ok'
- Click on 'Apply Template'. 
- A 'Template Selection' dialogue appears and in it you can only see Template
B.

So I think it would be simpler to only keep the 'Template Name' dialogue that
would save the file in the correct folder automatically (csv-templates)and the
user will only enter a name once which is less confusing.

Unless for some technical reason it is not possible.

Trunk, Svn Rev 1019355
