GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 64867
the ui for copying messages to a folder is awkward
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
To save an article I have to switch the group pane from "Subscribed" to "Folders" view. Then I Select Articles > Copy article to folder, and when I switch back to "Subscribed" view in the group pane, Pan has forgotten which group I was in, i.e. in the group view, my current group is not shown as selected. The consequence is when I'm done and type Ctrl-M to catchup, and Control-G to proceed to the next group, Pan actually selects the first group in the list of groups for that server.
I think it's reasonable for Pan to lose grouplist selection when moving from groups to folders and back again; however, this bug report is a side-effect of a different problem: the UI for saving articles to a folder is very frustrating. Either we should have a tree in the grouplist with "folders" and "groups" as entries, or we should provide some other easy way to copy articles to a folder.
Fixed in CVS: http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan/pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=articlelist.c&rev1=1.542&rev2=1.543&root=/cvs/gnome
Thank you. I hope I will be able to upgrade to 0.12.X soon so I can enjoy the benefits of your development.
