           Summary: Adding IM address does not create a usable link
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: tokoe kde org
        ReportedBy: bluelightning bluelightning org


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.90)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 Gentoo 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1
OS:                Linux

If you simply add an IM address to a contact using the "Edit IM Addresses" button, and then try to use the "Chat With..." context menu item, it doesn't work. You actually have to make the link from the Kopete side before it will work.

Two possible alternatives here (actually, both could be done):

A) When you enter an IM contact on the KAddressBook side, and Kopete is open, use DCOP to get the actual contact and make the link

B) Add a separate function to "Add from Kopete". This would bring up a list of Kopete's contacts with a search/filter box and allow you to select the one to link to.
