Summary: Would like to configure Kontact's storage folders
Product: kontact
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: dominussuus gmail com
Version: (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler: gcc 4.2.3
OS: Linux
Currently, the calendar, contact list, and e-mail are stored in various files
in ~/.kde/share/apps/<component>
With no way to change those folders.
What I would like to be able to do is configure:
- e-mail to be stored in maildirs in ~/Mail/ (or any other folder).
- a contact list be stored as, say, ~/contacts/businessAB.
- a calendar to be stored as, say, ~/calendar/festivusHolidays.ical.
and so on.
Other people have made similar requests to change backend storage but none of
them which ask for this kind of customisation. This feature in Kontact would:
- offer the flexibility of programs like Claws Mail which already allow you to
stick your e-mail in an arbitrary folder.
- allow other programs to at least read the files (if the facility does not yet
exist to edit the files without breaking Kontact) without having to dive into
the .kde/share/apps folder.
- although I'm not too familiar with the technology to know for certain, allow
someone to, say, store different address books on different servers allowing
Kontact to plug into the right contact list for whatever environment that
laptop was attached to. This obviously is a theoretical benefit but there may
be an application similar to this in which having a 'pluggable'
address/calendar/e-mail database would be useful or have some sort of security
benefit.
