            Bug ID: 315526
           Summary: Suggestion: kaddressbook-4.9.5 assign colours to
                    addressbook folders
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: 4.9
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

The current interface to the address book has a folder list in the left panel
and address cards in the middle panel. (Plus details view on the right.) The
addressbook interface is unique in that, when selecting a folder in the folder
list, nothing changes in the view. The list shows the addresses from folders
that are checked, i.e., to see what contacts are in a particular folder, it is
necessary to uncheck all the other folders. This is cumbersome.
Suggestion: In the "Folder properties" of an address book folder, add the
option to specify a custom colour. Then, in the list of contacts, show the
contacts in that colour. This makes it easy to recognise which contact is in
which folder.
Alternative suggestion: Use the same UI logic as in other software and get rid
of the check boxes in the folder list. Then the contacts list should show the
contents of the selected folder(s). (If no folder is selected, it should show
either nothing or everything.)

Reproducible: Always
