Using Extensions

Extensions are implemented as plugins in KAddressBook, so 3rd-party developers can provide more of them. At the moment we already have three extensions:

Contact Editor

Similar to the the contact editing dialog, but designed to allow contacts to be edited quickly.

Location of Contact

This extension takes the postal address of a contact and loads a map service from the internet (like www.map24.de) with these data; the result is shown in a HTML view.

Distribution List Manager

This extension provides easy management of the distribution lists: just create a new list and select a contact in the view; then, after clicking Add contact, the selected contact is part of the distribution list. A simpler way is to drag a contact from the view and drop it over the distribution list manager. See Settings Menu about how to add an extension.
