Hi Patrick,

I m still waiting to get a stable KDE PIM (4.6) to work on. I currently get
my KDE PIM from Project Neon(for Ubuntu) and Its been broken for the past 2
weeks.(dont know if it was working before that) So couldn't really check
anything out. :(

On a different note, I've contacted the KAddressbook maintainer about the
extensions problem and here is the summary of things:

The "key" is s suppsed to be a unique identifier for an akonadi setup. The
user's akonadi stores the mapping between the "key"s and "title"s. So i
guess, we can't sync custom fields without an Akonadi <-> Akonadi sync. So
preserving the extensions locally seems to be the best available option.
Also, may be this will be a useful information for us When a vCard
containing the custom field, say "X-KADDRESSBOOK-abcd" s is imported into
another akonadi, in there, the title "abcd" is generated for the given
filed.

The Neon Guys promised to get it running by this weekend though.. So may be
I can look into things after that.

Cheers,
Dinesh
