Description Per-Olov Sjöholm 2007-07-10 16:49:06 UTC

Hi

I run Kontact in KDE on OpenSUSE 10.2.

I use a network based calendar and address book in Kontact of the form:
sftp://user@host/path/to/calendar (use calendar resource "remote file")
sftp://user@host/path/to/addressbook (use address book resource "file")

This way I can without a complex software reach my calendar and address book data from everywhere.

Both of these works perfect in 3.5.6-48-1. When I upgraded to 3.5.7-7.1 my address book resource just disappeared in Kontact. And it is not possible to add a new one address book resource "file" of the same form (sftp or fish). It simply seems the feature is gone.... The calendar resource of the same sftp form still works though... 
But I miss my address book...

Note that the above works perfect i SLED 10, and SLED 10 with SP1 and used to work well in OpenSUSE 10.2. Maybe OpenSUSE has dropped this feature.... Hope this is not the purpose...

More generally, it seems you can't select any file which isn't local (sftp, ftp, ssh tested)

Comment 2 Bruno Virlet 2007-07-24 14:09:02 UTC

This has been disabled as it can cause dataloses.
It won't be fixed in kde 3.5.x

Thanks for the info, but....Why is it possible to use it for the calendar then? This seems to work in the same way as this address book did (sftp or fish)? Why isn't the calendars "remote file" disabled as well?
