           Summary: Data loss when creating new address book
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

I have one address book stored in Vcard format from ancient times. Now I
decided to move a bunch of contacts out there to it's own address book (akonadi
managed VCard folder). I selected a folder and left everything alone. Then I
began moving a bunch of contacts in there. Some time later my computer froze so
I had to powercycle it. Afterwards all contacts were gone: they were deleted
from the old address book and the new one is empty.

Some other observations:
-it looks like I can set an autosave delay when creating such a resource,
default for the new test folder I created now was 5 minutes. I'm rather sure
the computer was up more than 5 minutes after I added the first contacts to
that address book so at least something should have been autosaved
-these tuning page is not accessible from the properties of my new address book
now that it's around, I don't know if this is intentional.
-the address book properties dialog always opens behind the kontact main
window. There are no things like "always on top" set for the Kontact window.
-the address book shows the icon I chose for it. But it has lost like 3 times
the name I gave it, it always shows again "Personal Contacts"

I just moved one other contact into that folder and waited for more than 5
minutes, shut down kontact, did "akonadictl stop". There is still nothing
showing up on disk so I guess also this contact is "lost" (yes, I have backups
of all of these and they are not that important).

Reproducible: Didn't try
