--- Comment #3 from Jose Da Silva <digi...@joescat.com> --- Hi Justin, The problem is still there. I have created a test.vcf you can import and test for yourself. Trying to understand this problem further, it apparently is based on CATEGORIES which is something that worked a long time ago. Looking at my Mageia1 which is pretty old as it is, I apparently imported CATEGORIES from an older install, maybe when I had contacts on a kde3 version. Seems kde4 and kde5 lost the art on how to work with CATEGORIES. Starting with a new user, and empty addressbook. Start kaddressbook 1 start kaddressbook 2 menu->File->New->addressbook 3 choose "Personal Contacts" (to create a new addressbook) [OK] 4 /home/[user]/.local/share/contacts/ then [OK] (apparently default save here) At this point there is a new/empty Personal addressbook. 5 menu->File->Import->ImportVcard 6 choose test.vcf, and put it in "Personal Contacts" [OK] You will need to exit kaddressbook and then re-run kaddressbook to see the three new contact additions in the name column. You will not see "Categories", but they exist. 7. Search for Friend, and you see two contacts. 8. Search for Business and you see one contact. 9. Search for Work, and you see two contacts. Here is some confusion between old Kaddressbook and new Kaddressbook On the old 4.4.11 (Mageia1) also shows "", therefore this bug is older than kde4, and maybe going further back to kde3. kde4 has a separate temp file from the vcard file - maybe this is how it managed to hold CATEGORIES which are not in the current vcards. 2021jan03old4411.jpg shows a picture of "CATEGORIES" which has the confusing term of "Tags" in the recent Kaddressbook (I think this might be maybe seen as "Groups" on an Android phone if I imported this vcf file into a phone) and might be seen also on other addressbooks - but I'm only guessing now. If looking at the latest "Tags" and clicking on button [...] you will see tags that are blank. Version 5.16.0 (20.07.90) 10. If you look at the red "x" on "Select Tags" pop-up window and choose to delete an entry, kaddress will crash. You'll notice all the Tags show up as "". Hopefully this will help you verify and debug the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
