GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 312774
Top/Bottom & Drag 'n' Drop Filters
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
A bit of background: I receive mail from a lot of mailing lists so have filters on the mail to move each message to the list to a particular folder. At the moment I have 98 filters, and will be adding more as I subscribe to particular lists. These filters are ordered (top to bottom) as in most cases, the rule ordering counts with particular mails to and from particluar accounts being filtered differently. RFE: It would be very useful to have `move rule to` 'Top' and 'Bottom' (above and below the 'up' and 'down' buttons). So I can shortcut having to press 'Alt-D' 90-odd times to move a rule to the top of the list. At the same time, or in place of, being able to drag and drop the rule (with auto scroll when it reaches the border of the viewport) for the same reason. Alternatively, though probably more difficult to implement would be filters per email account. I have 6 mail accounts and have to order the filters for different actions per account; so having a list of filters per account would pretty much null-ify implementing the above two features. Also, thanks for an excellent email app :)
top and bottom buttons is a duplicate of bug 205616. drag and drop support is a duplicate of bug 200975. therefore closing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 205616 ***
Erk. Duplicate, sorry. I did look; maybe I need to brush up on my bugzilla search skills. Looking again, these 2 bugs are nearly 5 years old. I'm going to go see if I can write a patch for these now.
