[newbie] KAddressBook 3 problem?
Greetings everyone, Anyone else out there experiencing the annoyance that I am with with KAddressBook 3 in Mdk 9.0? Every time I open KAdressBook, all of the columns are jammed against the left margin, making it impossible to read names or addresses w/o adjusting columns to the right. I can't seem to make the settings stay..the Store Settings option doesn't want to work for me. Anyone notice this, or have any ideas about a fix? TIA for any thoughts. :-) --Angus The best thing to give your enemy is forgivenessto a friend, your heartto yourself, respect. --Francis Maitland Balfour -- ___ Get your free email from http://mymail.operamail.com Powered by Outblaze Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I think we may be talking at cross-purposes. The path I gave you holds the addressbook that you get if you do K Office Addressbooks. This is also what you see if you click on the addressbook icon - at least it is on mine - but I think there's another somewhere with collected addresses in it. The reason I think this, is that I have a couple of mis-typed addresses that are always offered to me when composing a new email, and they do not seem to be in the addressbook that is offered me. I'm sorry I can't help further - I hope you solve it. And I'll benefit, too ;-) Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

It contains the same set of entries as I found in the other one, but in .vcf format. The interesting thing is that it can be opened with GnomeCard, to give a good, easily written display, and unlike the version in 8.2 GnomeCard manages to save modifications without damaging the file. Unfortunately, it still does not have those faulty addresses that I need to trace. There has to be another one somewhere for those collected addresses.

You can just upgrade KAdressBook as well.. Just download the CVS from the KAdressBook-Site, compile and install it. Then it should work. You don't have to upgrade the whole KDE, if you only have troubles with one program. Sounds good, but I googled KAddressBook and visited the links listed and could not understand how I can get this upgrade. The page on using cvs is aimed at developers, talking about how to upload. Can you give me a bit more info, please? Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

You don't have to upgrade the whole KDE, if you only have troubles with one program. I asked about this on the KAddressBook mailing list. The reply may be of interest to others, so I'll quote it here: version of Qt, so I guess you'll need at least qt-copy, kdelibs, kdepim and maybe kdebase. How do I get it? Anything else I need to know? You can get the current sources from ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/kde-3.1-rc3/src Download the qt-x11-free, arts, kdelibs, (kdebase) and kdepim packages from there and install them concerning the INSTALL file inside. Maybe it's better to wait for the official release of KDE3.1 (should be on Monday) and get the binary packages from your ditributor.
