Description Fabio Bonelli 2009-01-14 17:16:13 UTC
From http://bugs.debian.org/359033:

The XBEL bookmarks import druid concludes with a message saying that
the import process has been completed, even though that may be a
half-truth.  The default action is not to import any bookmarks from the
selected file at all, in which case "completing the process" means
simply not doing what the user is trying to do.

I wouldn't know what the best solution is here, but my first ideas would
be:

1. Make that final message state unambiguously whether anything was
imported; if nothing was, the message should be an eye-catcher.

2. Make the Back button in that final screen go back to a functional
merge screen.  Right now it takes me back to a blank screen which may
seem sensible now because the process has been "completed" at that
point.

3. On the merge screen, display a brief, clear introductory message
*near the top*, not as an afterthought below the GUI elements it
describes, that there are two ways to merge bookmarks.

Also, it would be helpful to have the various panes for merging
bookmarks greyed out if there are no bookmarks to be merged.

Galeon has not seen any code changes since May 2010:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/galeon/log

This project is not under active development anymore and got recently archived in GNOME Git.

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone
takes the responsibility for active development again.
