User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

An address book contains an address book entry with a photo. If I export it to a LDIF file all fields are exported except the photo URL.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an address book entry
2. add a photo by choosing a web url.
3. export this address book to a LDIF file.
Actual Results:  
no photo data nor the photo url is exported.

Expected Results:  
At least the photo url should be exported.

I confirm the issue for Shredder/3.0.1pre.
I am not sure, that producing the URL is what can be put in line with the spec. I would rather expect the image to be exported as "jpegPhoto" attribute, which is a standard attribute of "inetOrgPerson" class.

Confirmed in TB 3.0.4 as well, independently of the platform.

Seak, Teng-Fong you're doing great work. but suggest in all your testing you should probably be attempting to reproduce issues using trunk builds rather than v3.0 - given that trunk is 2 releases better than 3.0

Because I'm too lazy to find out where the trunk is :p
And I'm always put myself in a simple user's viewpoint: what I'm interested is problems related to releases, not beta.

Using
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:2.0b2pre) Gecko/20100629 Shredder/3.2a1pre
the problem is still there: no photo related attribute can be found inside LDIF file.

Just confirming this bug is alive and well on Earlybird (i.e., TB 23). Any hope it will get ever fixed?

Similar to bug#379706.

[18:42] <marcoagpinto> when I export the address book from this computer along with the photos on D:\
[18:42] <marcoagpinto> when I import them in the other computer, also with the fonts in D:\
[18:42] <marcoagpinto> the photos are no longer associated with the address books
[18:43] <marcoagpinto> fonts=photos*
[18:43] <marcoagpinto> I copied the folder to D:\ in the netbook
[18:44] <marcoagpinto> it seems LDIF doesn't store the photos paths

Probably relevant bug 1008675 which is about the copying LDAP entries to an "ordinary" address book when during this copying the photo (among other fields) is also lost.
