           Summary: vcarddir resource: folder path lost, so changes not
                    saved
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

KAddressBook is configured with a VCard Directory resource, which appeared
initially to be working properly.

Somehow - not sure when or if there was a cause - the directory pathname went
blank in the configuration.  This means that going to the configuration by
either KAddressBook - context menu in "Address Book" column - Address Book
Properties or akonadiconsole - Agents tab - context menu over resource -
Configure Natively showed the "Directory" as blank.

The result of this was that changes or additions to the address book appeared
to be accepted and displayed, but no VCards were being written to the cards
directory.  There was no error message or any other indication that there was
any problem.  The last modification time on any card in the directory was a
month or so ago, but I had definitely made updates and added new contacts since
then.

Setting the correct path in the configuration synchronised the resource with
again no error message or any other indication, but recent updates were
completely lost.  With this correction, any further updates or additions
updated or created VCards there as expected.



Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
As above.


Actual Results:  
Updates/additions were lost, with no error indication.


Expected Results:  
There should at least have been an error message that (a) the configuration was
incomplete;  (b) it was not possible to update/create a VCard file.


This report may be more appropriate for Akonadi, please reassign if so.
