            Bug ID: 415222
           Summary: Kaddressbook no tags in exported vcard
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: 5.12.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

SUMMARY

Data is lost when exporting internal contracts as VCard. The internal .vcf file
managed by Akonadi for a specific contract contains a  'categories' field that
includes some information about the placed tags for a specific contract. The
exported VCard file (tested with either VCard 3.0 or 4.0) does not contain that
or any related fields.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make an arbitrary contact and assign tags to it within the application
2. Observe that the internal .vcf file indeed contains information about the
tags
3. Export the contact as a VCard 4.0 (works 3.0 too, haven't tested the rest)

OBSERVED RESULT

The exported .vcf file does not contain all all information about that
contract, including tag fields.

EXPECTED RESULT

The exported .vcf file should contain all information that the application
internally holds about the contact, including the very important, useful, and
supported by the VCard standard tags feature. The beauty of having a standard
is interoperability and data portativity and it would be great if Kaddressbook
allowed for that.
