           Summary: Moving contact across "vCards directory" adressbooks
                    does not actually move the files
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages

Hello,

System: Ubuntu 10.4

Situation: I store each contact in its own vCard file. There are three
directories for Work, Familly and Friends. They were added using the
kaddressbook File / New / Add an addressbook menu function. But this is a
recent arrangement, so to cleanup my collection, I still have to sort my
contacts into the right directories. I proceed by dragging a contact from the
"Work" addressbook to the "Familly" addressbook (repeat n times, using also the
"Friends" target). It works apparently. Even when I restart the kaddressbook
and akonadi, the contacts stay where I put them.

Problem: The files are not actually moved, so when I reset the
akonadi/kaddressbook setup (too often) my sorting is lost.

More justification: Segregating professional from personal contacts is
important to me because of privacy worries at backup time. And the critical
reason I use kontact, therefore kde is that it supports maildir, and I believe
that one information item per file is the only sane way to go.

A workaround is probably to move the files directly. But this is inconvenient,
because one has to cat each file to see its content. And should I ignore the
WARNING_README.TXT in the vcards directories that says one should not do that ?

Thanks for your attention.
