Trying again. I already started a reply months ago, but kontact=20 crashed, and I lost it. I started again, ranted about KDE4, tried to open=20 systemsettings in order to check Mick's suggestions, but I misclicked and=20 hit kontact, which is directly below in my favorite list. Of course,=20 starting kontact under KDE4 does not open a 2nd instance of the program,=20 or gives a warning that I am about to start another instance which I=20 should not do, no, it just makes the running kontact crash.=20 And again, the mail is gone. BTW, in the past that was no problem, kmail=20 saved the drafts every two minutes (this is still configured that way in=20 its settings), but this does not work. Even if I close if the regular way,= =20 unfinished mails are gone. So I started for the third time, this time in thunderbird on a Windows=20 mchine. And from time to time I marked the text and put it into the=20 clipboard. I'm doing this with every longer mail now. I saved the mail as=20 draft, and went to my Linxu machine where I resumed the edit. I wanted to=20 try something and went into the import menu: Crash! Good thing=20 the Windows Clipboard still had it. Mick wrote: > On Tuesday 09 March 2010 20:12:09 Alex Schuster wrote: >> - Kontact.

Let me > know if you can't find it.) I just tried that. I first added a dir-resource, as there are several .vcf= =20 files in my .kde3.5/share/appes/kabc directory. BTW, I had to copy that=20 directory, as the file chooser did not show directories starting with a=20 dot. Nothing happened when I restarted kontact. I did the same with a file- resource, when I noticed that all the .vcf files were identical. Again,=20 nothing happened. But: There are errors when akonadi is starting up during login. I think it= =20 did not do this when I wrote the last mail, but probably this is the=20 problem now for the migration does not work. I attached the error parts of= =20 the log. And I looked for your posting, and searched all of my gentoo-user archive,= =20 but somehow I did not find it.

Works sometimes, and sometimes not. Also, sometimes the content is not=20 updated when I dragged files via FTP. Other current dolphin problems: =2D Opens maximized horizontally every time, except at session startup. =2D The sorting is strange sometimes: Foo-1.srt, Foo-2.avi,=20 =46oo-1.avi, Foo-2.srt =2D When the KDE session comes up, all dolphins have the same view. I'd lik= e=20 one of them to have a different view, but when I do this, next time the=20 session comes up all dolphins will have this view, too. There is an option= =20 to remember every folder's view, but every time I open a new folder, it=20 opens in symbol view first, not in the current view of the upper folder. >> - Of course, Amarok keeps doing weird things.

It's more stable, and startup time is now 30 seconds=20 instead of 7 minutes. Have you tried clementine?

Had you set the password dialog to show 3 bullets for each key pressed? Another pretty bad thing that happened: Once when I started kontact, it=20 showed me a birthday I had forgotten, two days AFTER the birthday=20 It did not bother to remind me the days before when kontact was runing all= =20 the time. Now, what's the purpose of an organizer when you cannot trust it= =20 to show appointments? Good thing I don't use it much. >> Dale, you brave, brave man, are you really using KDE4 now? Still thinking about dumping it. The current most annoying bug is that=20 about once a day the mouse stops working. I can move it, xeyes keeps=20 watching it, and sometimes I can still use it inside a part of klast=20 active window. But for nothing else. So I have to log out and back in=20 again. I'm not sure what the problem is, it happened after I updated to=20 kde-4.4.3, xorg-1.7 and ati-drivers 10.4. Downgrading ati-drivers did not=20 help, downgrading xorg did not succeed, I got compilation errors and gave=20 up, as I suspect that it's KDE itself. But a downgrade to 4.4.2 would take= =20 a while, and I'd expect that alll hell might breake loose if I let this=20 older version mess with my current .kde4 directory. I hoped that a reinstall (because switching to a 64 bit OS) would=20 magically solve this, but it didn't. I tried to kill and restart kwin and=20 plasma-desktop, this did not help. Current list of other, but not so bad problems: =2D Konquerer used to ask if I really want to close it, or just the current= =20 tab. Not since 4.4.4. =2D Ark cannot save all selected files via drag&drop, only one. And then it= =20 opens the home folder with dolphin, not the destination folder. =2D Automatic spell checking no longer happens in kmail or konqueror. =2D Session saving sometimes fails. I always back up my .kde4 before I dare= =20 this. =2D Once my activities were on the wrong desktops, it took me a while until= =20 I had thinsg back as they should be. =2D Konqueror crashes a lot. =2D And every login the dialog comes up telling me that konqueror crashed,= =20 unless I quit every running instance before logging out of KDE. =2D Konsole profiles show up in the menu only after I activated them in the= =20 profile dialog. Some of the things I have to repeat after every login into= =20 KDE. =2D Strigi indexes some directory over and over again and again and again=20 and again. And again and again. Then it crashes, and when I re-activate=20 it, it indexes the folder again and again and again. And so on.
