GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 558354
Evolution: "Close" button in Appointments reminder window is ambiguous and inconsistent; replace with a per-item "Dismiss" button instead.

What happens: * I open the appointment reminder dialog box, and have two appointments that are now outstanding. * I want to dismiss the first reminder (which I have finished), and keep the window open to remind myself of the second one until I have completed it. * I highlight the first item, and click "Close", which seems to be the closest verb to "Dismiss". * The dialog box closes completely, taking _both_ the first and the second reminder with it! * I exclaim "Goddammit! Give my reminder back!" What should happen: * The "close" button is annoying and inconsistent, because it works differently to the two other buttons (it applies to the dialog box, just to be different, and not to the reminder items). There needs to be a per-item "dismiss" button instead, underneath the "snooze" and "edit" buttons, and then all 3 buttons in the dialog box would work on a per-reminder-item basis. * Clicking the "dismiss" item should dismiss the highlighted item(s), allowing people to process appointments in any order they liked. * The dialog box should close when there are no items left (i.e. all items have either been dismissed or snoozed). The "close" button then becomes unnecessary, and can be removed. Other information:
Created attachment 121961 [details] [review] proposed evo patch for evolution; Changed "Close" button to "Dismiss all" and added a "Dismiss" button to the alarm notification dialog to be able to dismiss only some of the alarms shown in the dialog.

Capitalize "All". Otherwise looks great!
Committed to trunk, with the above change applied. Committed revision 36740.
Fantastic! Looks great, thank you so much.
