That is my beeyoutch with Kaddressbook. I have 20 some "filters" for the
data and they are not exported to any of the formats offered. Now that I
have 1,603 records, I am loathe to lose all that work. If you know the
guy, please PLEASE get him to add the filters to the export file so that
I don 't have 20 individual export files. I'm royally not happy with
this. I would hope that one of the export methods would result in the
new kaddressbook being ale to import the data intact.
