           Summary: Contacts not synced when file is updated on disk
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 4.4
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Contacts resource
        AssignedTo: tokoe at kde.org
        ReportedBy: stefnn at gmx.de
                CC: vkrause at kde.org, kdepim-bugs at kde.org


Version:           4.4 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Scenario:

2 Computers both running akonadi sharing a local directory as a addressbook
resource.
Now if you change a contact on one of the computers, the local file gets
updated (good) but when akonadi is started on the other computer it does not
notice the changes made.

So imagine you edit your contacts on one computer, the other does not see the
changes. You change the contact there and all your previous changes are lost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Add a clean vCard Directory to Akonadi.
Add one contact in KAddressBook to it.
Locate the corresponding file in the Directory and edit it with a texteditor or
use another Addressbook client on that Directory.

Go to KAddressBook and you see no changes :/
Even restarting Akonadi, telling it to sync, ... all doesnt help.



Actual Results:  
Updates do not get propagated

Expected Results:  
Akonadi Cache is always in-sync with files on disk.
(At least after a restart or re-sync)

Or is there another way, how to "correctly" synchronize different addressbook
directories, and my usecase is totally flawed?

Same goes for Akonadi Calenders, Maildirs, ...
