I’ve always had our public address book listed first in my client preferences, because my personal address book contains a lot of duplicate names used purely for my Blackberry address book synchronization and I wanted the type-ahead to use the full address book.
So, I upgraded my client to 8.5 and as part of that process it replaced the design of the public address book, using the latest 8.5 private address book template. That then automatically replicated up to the server and broke pretty much everything (I happen to be one of 2 people with design access to the NAB).
We’ve learnt our lesson on that one, but shouldn’t the upgrade process have looked for the first ‘personal’ address book listed, rather than the first address book period?
It’s easy to reproduce: just list a local replica of a public address book first in the .ini file and restart the client. It will give you a warning about the design being wrong and recommed a design update, something the upgrade process presumably does automatically.
Thanks,
