In the explorer, requeted ContactCollections This showed by a ContactCollection-6 dir address book If I the request ContactCollection-6, I do indeed get all the contacts by number. Trying to navigate this (now large) list quickly hangs up the explorer. > Alternatively, add > > fetchEmailCollections(); > fetchContactColletions(); > > to the constructor of the dataengine.

Because of a pontentially large amount to date, this approach should not be used. My applet will want to assemble a list of QAbstractListItems or QStringLists something like: contact-name phone-number-1 contact-name phone-number-2 contact-name2 phone-number-1 etc. There may be several collection-# lists and a lot of data. Once loaded which takes a bit of time, possibly geometric by number of items!, kaddressbook seems to run reasonably (using the akonadi dir resource). I would load the data in a background thread--question is how long it will need to load and be navigated to fill a sorted listwidget. I guess I'll just have to try it out and see. Another problem is that there are a slew of Akonadi-???-resource children (which I try to renice using and as this stuff bogs down the system). I believe that many of the complaints about 4.2 being too slow are because of akonadi and maybe nepomuk--these need to be niced and means of servicing/optimizing the data, i.e. eliminating duplicate contacts which I got accidentally, need be provided. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
