           Summary: kaddressbook does not store contacts to vcf
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kavol at seznam.cz
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

For the purpose of easy synchronisation with my phone and other places, I need
to keep my contacts in .vcf file. This has worked for years, and now it is
broken. KDE4 simply sucks. (Yes, I know it is bad to say such things in a
bugreport, but being nice does not help. Hope you finally realise how bad the
situation is when you force users to do things they know to be bad. I refer
also to bug #233078)

I've removed all the automagically created addressbooks and started from
scratch. I've added only one addressbook resource which refers to the old
std.vcf file.

In the addressbook properties, Read only is NOT checked, the format is vCard
and the location is ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf

The contacts are displayed okay.

However, when I add a contact, it does not get added to the file, even if it
shows within the list!

When I log out, the modification time of the std.vcf file gets updated, but the
contents of the file is left untouched. But after running kaddressbook again,
the newly added contact is there - WHERE THE HECK DOES IT COME FROM??? AND WHY
THE HECK THE MTIME GETS UPDATED WHEN NOTHING IS CHANGED???
