Improve folder Subscription interface
Last modified: 2011-10-14 20:08:46 UTC
I have *a lot* of IMAP folders after decades of email. Today in evolution a number of my folders were unsubscribed (I have not yet figured out why). As a result I had to re-select a number of folders through the Subscriptions... dialogue. All I wanted to do was subscribe to ALL my folders, and this proved to be more difficult than I would have expected. I had to manually scroll, tree-expand and mouse-click an individual check box for each folder (some hundred or so). It would have been easier if I could do one or more of the following: 1) Use space bar to select (arrow keys worked, but not space bar ..argh) 2) Subscribe unchecked for current view (could be used with expand-all to get everything) 3) A "Subscribe All" button Basically I just gave up after subscribing the folder I needed for my session, as I expect that I might have a bug that caused this, and expecting it to happen again I do not want to repeat the process.
Created attachment 199002 [details] [review] evo patch for evolution; This adds: Subscribe Subscribe to shown Subscribe to all and Unsubscribe Unsubscribe from hidden Unsubscribe from all as additional options for Subscribe and Unsubscribe buttons. There were couple other bugs, like with the space you should move to the columns with the checkbox, after that the space-bar works, though when you click it the folder tree lost focus, thus it was kinda unusable.
Created commit cff3d74 in evo master (3.3.1+)
Works well now, thanks
