           Summary: Several IMPORTANT features MISSING from the
                    "kaddressbook" of KDE Kontact application, version
                    4.4.2
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.2) 
OS:                Linux

1. Several IMPORTANT features which were available in the older KDE Kontact
application (namely,"kaddressbook") that were packaged with Linux -> Ubuntu ->
Version 9.10 are MISSING in the KDE Kontact application packaged with Linux ->
Ubuntu -> Version 10.04. Some of the missing features are as follows:

1.1. The ability to categorise the address book entry (that is, categorise an
entry as, for example, "manufacturer", "client", "colleague", etc.),

1.2. The ability to create custom fields.

1.3. The ability to apply changes to an address book entry without having to
close the entry.

1.4. The ability to copy an address book entry and paste it as a duplicate
entry in the address book for subsequent use as a template to create similar
entries.

1.5. The ability to select the type of entry, such as "organization", "reverse
name with Comma", etc., has been SEVERELY curtailed.

2. Many other features are missing thus rendering the current address book
(namely, version 4.4.2) very INFERIOR compared to the previous version.

3. These are SERIOUS DEFICIENCIES in the product.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just start KDE Kontact and try to find or use the aforementioned features.
You will find that they do not exist in KDE -> Kontact -> kaddressbook ->
version 4.4.2.

Actual Results:  
1. The features are no longer available.

Expected Results:  
1. The features should have been available and, even better, further enhanced
in the newer version.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-24-generic
