GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 504417
preferences window
Last modified: 2008-07-28 09:29:04 UTC
As you probably know the evolution preferences windows is way way to big in length. Evolution preferences window was already reduced by moving things out. But there's also a problem due to some text in it: - Mail Preferences -> General : Do not format text contents in mails if the text size exceeds - Mail Preferences -> HTML Mail : Prompt when sending HTML messages to contacts that do not want them - Mail preferences -> Automatic Contacts: (bbdb plugin) - Automatically create entries in the addressbook when responding to mail - Periodically synchronize contact information and images from Pidgin buddy list Here's the proposed text modifications - Mail Preferences -> General : Don't format messages when text size exceeds - Mail Preferences -> HTML Mail : Prompt when sending unwanted HTML messages - Mail preferences -> Automatic Contacts: - Auto-create addressbook entries when replying to messages - Synchronize contact info and images from Pidgin buddy list Attached is a patch for all those, modified files are bbdb.c from plugins/bbdb and mail-config.glade from mail/ . Text messages might not be the best rephrase ever known but it really helps saving the length of preferences window.

regarding the second one: you completely change the meaning of the strings, that does not work. now it's just confusing and not helpful. also, stuff like "Don't" is not allowed by the HIG.
Lucian, thanks for your patches. Can you try to do only one patch with ChangeLog entries and try to fix things from Andre's comment please? There is not much time to do this, because there will be a string freeze "soon". Thanks in advance.
Milan, http://live.gnome.org/Schedule says that string freeze starts on February 11. feel free to bookmark that page. :-)
Ahh, thanks for clarifying, I'm never sure about these things.
Bumping version to a stable release.
