Export to *.vcf in Kontact
Hello!
I'm trying hard to get my adress book into my cell phone.
To achieve this I'm using the "File->Export->Export vCard 2.1" in KDE-Kontact.
This would work perfect if there wouldn't be a newline after 76 characters. If I remove this unwanted linebreak the import in my phone works perfect. But now this breaks the whole procedure.
I do have a large number of contacts and I don't see a way to fix this with a script.
I observed exactly the same behaviour in Kontact version 1.2.4 and 1.2.9
Is there a setting to disable this behaviour or is this a bug?
Thanks for any hints to a solution!
Simon
example
Sorry... I hope I can clarify with an example:
The first two lines of my *.vcf should look like this:
|
Source code
|
1
2
3
|
BEGIN:VCARD
ADR;TYPE=work;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:;;Technoparkstr. 1;Z=C3=BCrich;;8005;
...
|
But unfortunately I do get this:

BEGIN:VCARD
ADR;TYPE=work;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:;;Technoparkstr. 1;Z=
C3=BCrich;;8005;

Simon,
If you read the
vCard spec, section 2.1.3, you'll see that it's your phone that's wrong, not Kontact.
Cheers,
Rob
