Information

This page is related to KAddressBook version 4.4. If you have a different version of KAddressBook then you may find a page for that version here.

KAddressBook reborn to make your data available to all your applications

Inleiding

KAddressBook is a work-in-progress. That doesn't mean that it's unstable but it does mean that it's not complete. The layout you see in this version is very different from the older version, and it's quite possible that the next version will be different again, as we see more features being available to us again.

Automatisch migratie

If you have previously been using KAddressBook you are probably aware that it was stored in ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf. When you install KDE SC 4.4 the automatic migration tool will examine that file and set up an Akonadi resource using the data that it contains. However, you may find that a number of other things need checking. As this is entirely new technology, the distributions may not have been able to set up everything to perfection.

Vereisten

Nepomuk must be running. Open SystemSettings > Advanced tab > Desktop search and enable Nepomuk. Strigi may be too heavy on resources if your hardware struggles, but enabling Strigi is optional. Turn it off if it gives you problems, though lack of indexing will necessarily impact the extent to which Nepomuk can work. MySQL must be working. This has been problematic on some distributions. If you have problems you will probably benefit from reading the Akonadi Troubleshooting page.

Bronnen inschakelen

Again, your distribution may have already done this for you, but check SystemSettings > Advanced tab > KDE Resources. Make sure that the resources listed there are enabled, then use the 'Set as Standard' button on 'akonadi-resource Personal'. This will make the Personal Contacts addressbook available to KMail.

Klik een beetje verder en met de knop "Adresboekbronnen beheren" ontdekt u dat u de instellingen voor uw bronnen kunt verkennen:

The resources on your system may not match the list you see in this image - that is of no consequence. Personal Contacts is the one of importance for working with KAddressBook and KMail.

In KDE SC 4.5 the path is slightly different although the process is the same. SystemSettings has been redesigned, so KDE resources is now found under Personal Information.

Status van deze release

Distribution Lists - the migration tool for your existing distribution lists is not yet released. It is work-in-progress. Where appropriate you can create a new Group - Groups will replace Distribution Lists. Auto completion makes it quite easy to add entries to the group. In KDE SC <= 4.4.2 you can't use the group quite like a distribution list, typing the name and expecting it to be expanded into a list of names. You can, though, copy and paste the list of names from the right-hand panel.

This is not final functionality, but it is a work-around that is possible in some situations. Update - for KDE SC 4.4.3 the alias expansion for Contact Groups from KAddressBook has been backported. Contact Groups still may not be selected in the recipients picker, though.

Onzichtbaar velden - sommige gebruikers zijn ongerust omdat ze wisten dat er informatie stonden in velden die momenteel niet zichtbaar zijn. Als u kijkt in ~/.local/share/contacts/ ziet u dat de gegevens niet verloren zijn gegaan. We verwachten dat de gegevens weer zichtbaar worden in de volgende versie.

Problemen oplossen

A number of common 'teething problems' have been reported in versions shipped with KDE SC 4.4. Many of them disappeared with the advent of 4.4.1, but if you still get error messages, Akonadi 4.4 Troubleshooting has solutions to many problems.
