Information

Hvis din KAddressBook er ældre end version 4.4, så se venligst denne side

KAddressBook genfødt for at gøre dine data tilgængelige i alle dine applikationer

Introduktion

KAddressBook er et igangværende arbejde. Det betyder ikke, at den er ustabil, men det betyder, at den ikke er fuldstændig. Layoutet i denne udgave er meget forskelligt fra den ældre version, og det er tænkeligt, at den næste version vil være anderledes igen i takt med at flere funktioner bliver tilghængelige for os igen.

Opsætning af din nye AddressBook

Automatisk overføring

Hvis du tidligere har brugt KAdressBook, så ved du måske, at dine data blev gemt i ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf. Når du installerer KDE SC 4.4 vil det automatiske overføringsredskab undersøge denne fil og oprette en Akonadi-ressource med de data, som det finder der. Det er dog muligt, at du skal checke nogle andre ting. Dette er en helt ny teknologi og distributionerne har måske ikke været i stand til at sætte alting helt perfekt op.

Forudsætninger

Nepomuk skal køre. Åbn Systemindstillinger > Avanceret > Skrivebordssøgning og aktivér Nepomuk. Strigi kan være for ressourcekrævende, hvis din hardvare er hårdt belastet, men det er valgfrit at aktivere Strigi. Slå den fra, hvis den giver problemer; men når du giver afkald på indekseringsmuligheden, så påvirker det nogle af Nepomuks funktioner. MySQL skal virke. Dette har været et problem ved nogle distributioner. Hvis du har problemer, så kan du måske have glæde af at læse denne side om problemløsning.

Aktivering af ressourcer

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.

Explore a little further, with the Manage Addressbook Sources button, and you will see that you can examine the settings for your resources:

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 of this 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. Autocompletion 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.

Invisible fields - some users have been worried because they knew that information was in fields not currently visible. If you check any record in ~/.local/share/contacts/ you will see that the data is not lost. We can expect to see the data becoming visible again in the coming version releases.

Backing up your Data

The page Akonadi_and_AddressBook helps you understand the structure of KAddressBook, so that you can be sure that you have backed up all that you need.

Troubleshooting

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.
