GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 207442
Finish GalView
Last modified: 2005-11-15 02:22:21 UTC
Description of Problem: I wanted to add a 'Size' header for all mails. I have about 50 folders. I have to click and drag to _each and every one_ of them. Expected Results: I would have hoped to be able to apply this change to all folders. I've also reported that it's impossible to resize the columns in all folders easily: this is another manifestation of that same usability problem.
But at the same time, you don't necessarily want all of your mailboxes to have the same column layout. So I'd say that we would actually have to implement some kind of table-header-editor to implement this correctly.
Personally, my own usage of folders tends to favour the same set of headers across each.
Mine doesn't :-) For instance, my bugzilla folder and vfolders don't have the 'From' or 'Attachment' headers, since with bugzilla mails these never change. So I can have the subject take up almost the entire width of the table. This, of course, would not be reasonable for a mailing list.
As a result of the UI freeze today, I'm marking all remaining non-1.0 UI bugs to 'future'. Someone reading this should only change the target back to 1.0 under the following circumstances: 1) The change would not impact documentation. (i.e., 'how to do X' would not have to be changed in any way.) 2) The change would require trivial work for the programmers involved. Most likely, only the programmers themselves are able to judge this. So, if you are not on the evo team, or cannot provide a patch to them for this, you should probably not make any such changes. Sorry that this is going to impact so many irritating bugs, but we have to prioritize our limited resources.
Setting this to 1.1 and assigning to Anna to think about how to make this configurable. If this proves hard, it may be 1.2.
Just a random thought: Have a 'template' folder layout, that can be: 1. applied to all existing (or specific) folders 2. used as a default for any new folders created/opened for the first time (e.g. imap/maildir/etc) 3. maybe used always The last is just opening the same file all the time. The others are variations of that/copying files about.
(and clahey code may be required)

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. Luis
This is part of GalView. I'm reassigning and removing the time estimate since it's a gal thing, not a mail thing. The design and most of the code for this is already done. I just need to finish it. It will need to go through some design revisions, but since it's so close to being coded, I think it makes more sense to do the bit of work to finish the way it is and work from there than to start from scratch at this point.

This is committed and should be pretty usable. Any bugs or missing features in the new code should be submitted as separate bugs.
