Bug ID: 332340 Summary: VCard import: CRLF in encoded lines breaks parsing of contact information Classification: Unclassified Product: kdepimlibs Version: 4.12.2 Platform: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: NOR Component: kabc Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: war...@gmx.de I recently exported the contacts from an android device into a single vcard file. I then created a new read-only address book based directly on that file. I noticed immediately that some contacts were missing, and others had wrong contents in some fields. The effects were, for instance, truncated Notes fields, a messed up company name and a truncated URL field (only showed "http://", the rest was missing). Digging deeper, I found out that the problem are DOS-Style newlines, i.e. <CR><LF>, in encoded fields (lines with =65=A3= and so on instead of clear text). After I changed the file to Unix-newlines (just <LF>) using vim, all contacts and their fields were imported properly. The URL example I mentioned was at first strange – the URL was short, not wrapped and also not encoded. But the previous line in the VCF had the postal address was wrapped and encoded that way because it contained non-ASCII characters. After I removed the address from the file, the URL field was imported properly. This was just an attempt of a manual “contact sync” between phone and KDE until I get a local sync server running. But this has the potential of a cascading data loss on both ends of the sync, hence I marked this as critical. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a VCard file with DOS-type newlines (CRLF). 2. Have a field encoded with hex values and wrapped Actual Results: The field that comes after the wrapped and encoded line is not imported properly. It may be garbled, truncated or not show up at all, which may even lead to the contact being discarded by the importer. All data was imported correctly once the linebreaks were converted to Unix-style (LF). Expected Results: All fields should be imported correctly regardless of file formatting. The VCF in question was produced by the stock android contacts app. I tried looking for duplicates, but am not sure. #320196 talks about VCF export.
