GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 562917
Evolution does not obey previous view settings.
Last modified: 2010-11-18 04:34:28 UTC
Please describe the problem: When opening up evolution the left hand window view settings are not being obeyed and all mail accounts are being opened in the down position. I only have one account set up in evolution and do not use the built-in "On This Computer". Previous versions of evolution would obey my settings and keep the built-in "On This Computer" closed. I prefer the old way of keeping the built-in "On This Computer" closed and out of my workspace. Current version opens it up in the down/viewing position. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install latest version of evolution. 2. Open up evolution and the "On this computer" carrot will always open in the down position. Actual results: The "On this computer" always opens up in the down position. Expected results: I would expect that evolution would obey my previous view settings and not auto open the "On This Computer". Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
I can reproduce this on Evolution 2.25.2. Expanded states for folders in accounts are stored in: $HOME/.evolution/mail/config/folder-tree-expand-state.xml Can you check whether that file looks correct after closing Evolution?
Yes, after closing evolution the file looks correct. Here are the settings after closing: <?xml version="1.0"?> <tree-state> <node name="local" expand="false"> <node name="Drafts" expand="false"/> <node name="Sent" expand="false"/> <node name="personal" expand="true"><node name="Inbox" expand="false"/></node></node> <node name="vfolder" expand="false"/> <selected uri="exchange://XXXXXX;auth=Basic@XXXXXX/personal/Inbox"/> <node name="1228042417.4640.23@hom" expand="true"> <node name="personal" expand="true"> <node name="Inbox" expand="true"> <node name="OSSEC" expand="true"/> <node name="MICROSOFT" expand="true"/> <node name="MAIL LISTS" expand="true"/> <node name="Local Security" expand="true"/> <node name="LINUX" expand="true"> <node name="FEDORA" expand="true"/> </node> <node name="WSUS FORUM" expand="true"/> </node> <node name="Saved E-mail" expand="true"> <node name="Archive" expand="true"> <node name="Saved E-mail" expand="true"> <node name="Realestate Stuff" expand="true"/> </node> </node> </node> </node> </node> </tree-state> But once I reopen evolution the following is back to true: <node name="local" expand="true">
By the way I am using the following version: evolution 2.24.2-1 evolution-data-server 2.24.2-1 evolution-exchange 2.24.2-1
In addition, the message preview window does not even retain its settings and obey my previous position of it.
Looks like this is a side-effect of the patch for bug #552583.
Fixed by the patch for bug #552583.
*** Bug 563286 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As of today, with the following version of evolution this bug is not resolved. evolution 2.24.3-1 evolution-data-server 2.24.3-1 evolution-exchange 2.24.3-1 Still have the same issue as initially reported.
For me it's been fixed in 2.24.3, though (in Ubuntu). Strange.
I am using Arch Linux.
Thanks for a bug report. Could you retest with latest stable, please? It's either 2.32.0 (a very fresh version) or the 2.30.3. Thanks in advance.
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen the bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME 2.32.0 or later, thanks.
