Description Dean Johnson 2001-09-06 15:45:15 UTC 
The Tools->Subscribe To Folders panel needs a busy cursor when it is
fetching the folders list. The first few times I played with it, I thought
I had to do something else, cuz it just sat there quietly and apparently
contented, all the while fetching my longish imap directory. I bailed out
of it thinking something else needed to be set first.This will be a pain in
the but for novice users.

1.0 if trivial, probably...
Comment 2 Not Zed 2001-10-21 21:30:40 UTC 
Marking UI + 1.1.  We dont have any mechanism for cursor state, so its
a bigger change than that.

Maybe we could just have 'fetching folders' thingy somewhere.

Note that we already have this in the main window's status bar.
Comment 3 Not Zed 2001-10-30 15:16:44 UTC 
Some sort of spinny thing in the tree body might do.
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2001-11-26 17:04:09 UTC 
Because of the decision to remap 1.1->1.2 and 1.2->1.4, I'm going to be
moving a large number of bugs around in the bugzilla. You can just
search on 'body contains' 'Because of the decision to remap' and mark
all as read. Please direct all questions about this change to
evolution@ximian.com, not the bug.

Comment 5 Not Zed 2002-01-21 23:48:15 UTC 
BTW the whole dialogue probably needs a rewrite, its extremely slow
and very buggy.

I always get 2 inboxes listed, for example (with all of their
subfolders duplicated too).
Comment 6 Not Zed 2002-01-31 05:15:01 UTC 
Ok so that inbox double listing bug is in the imap code.

If you have a namespace of 'inbox' and you get the toplevel listing,
you get 2x inbox listed.
Comment 7 Peter Williams 2002-08-02 19:44:51 UTC 
I'm going to attach a patch that basically does this. Anna, I'm CC'ing
you because the meaning of the progress bar seems a bit unclear at the
moment and I'm not sure how to explain it better. (I'd have the
progress bar have some text in the middle, but you can't do that when
it's in activity mode as it is in this case.)

Comment 9 Anna Marie Dirks 2002-08-06 15:55:36 UTC 
I think you need to reparent this and use a gnomeapp instead of a
dialog. This will put the progress bars in the correct (familiar) place. 

I will attach a glade file (which contains the current and proposed
versions) to this bug now.

Glade file with proposed changes (and current version for comparison purposes)
Comment 11 Peter Williams 2002-08-16 19:29:44 UTC 
Glade file added (with widget names made programmer-friendly) and code
changed to make it work.
