GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 274396
default mail listview widths inappropriate
Last modified: 2021-05-19 12:14:27 UTC
I just ran across this again -- everytime I need to configure evolution on a new machine all my folders (yeah, I have far too many, but ...) have a stupid listview layout where you have ||From|Subject|Date|| all with the same width which leads to the Date column having a lot of whitespace and the Subject column having more cut off than would be necessary. It'd be nice if the defaults could be adjusted a bit to be more agreeable.

adding keyword
Created attachment 61882 [details] [review] changed the default mail listview widths to appropriate width the default date field contains more whitespaces were as subject field width is less.
rakesh: applied your patch - it is not applicable at all to set resizable to false. this patch surely needs some additional work.
Would it help if I created a patch that just sets resizable to true and kept the rest of the patch? Or has this actually been applied and I haven't noticed because I haven't created folders in a long time?
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
