           Summary: Wish for old selection-style: selecting a folder shows
                    all contents of that folder and below
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kevin at zenshock.net
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

In the current version of KAddressbook (4.6.0) there is a new way of selecting
contacts. Instead of showing all contacts of the selected folder along with any
items lying in folders beneath the selection, in the new version only the
contacts of the selected folders are listed.

Since I enjoyed using the previous style of selection to quickly filter
contacts by categories (my subfolders), I kindly request an option to enable
the old behaviour again.

(If this is more confusing than descriptive, I'd be glad to try it again :] )

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select the root folder of personal contacts

Actual Results:  
Only the contacts in the root folder, but not the contacts of the folders
beneath the root folder are displayed. If I want to see them too, I have to
manually select all subfolders and their subfolder and so on.

Expected Results:  
All contacts in my addressbook (in case of selecting the root folder) are
displayed.
