GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 85973
no drop down box for "find" in groups
Last modified: 2011-12-03 09:28:56 UTC
In the .11x series, and pretty much forever previous, there was a drop down box showing your last few searches in the groups. In .12.0 there is no dropdown, and as far as I can tell, no option to add/remove it. This was a very handy feature that would be nice to have back.
sounds good to me.
gqview has a similar feature and, like Pan, doesn't use gnome-libs. Perhaps we could raid some code from there.
Bumping features requiring new code to 0.13.1 in order to get 0.13.0 out on schedule.
This also shows up in the pop-up where your specify where to save selected files (i.e., when you type ctrl-s after highlighting something). Previously the dialog showed the most recently used path (as does 0.13.3 now), but you also had a drop-down that would show you other recent paths.
We're flooded with bug reports, so it's time to put some enhancements on the backburner. The Pan team will reprioritize these bugs after 0.14.0 is released.

GtkCombo seems to be all we need. This requires only gtk, not gnome-libs
I agree that this is possible without Gnome. All we'd need is a GtkCombo and preference options to remember the last N commands. IMO this is a sort of nice-to-have feature, but nothing important. If a user believes in this enough and wants to contribute a patch I'll accept it, but I don't want to write it.
Charles: Please do not abuse NEEDINFO for valid patches without asking a question to the reporter ("Can you provide a patch" is also not a valid reason to needinfo). Thanks.
