GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 362907
Give Draft/Sent folders appropriate icons in the folder view
Last modified: 2009-06-05 09:06:09 UTC
It would be nice if folders that have been selected to be the Draft or Sent mail folders for accounts wouuld be given icons that indicate their special status. The Local folders' Sent folder already has such an icon, but there does not seem to be a suitable icon for the Drafts folder. Other information:
At least sent item folder has different icon in Local, Group wise and Exchange providers. Draft folder still doesn't have.
I've always thought GTK_STOCK_EDIT would be a nice icon for Drafts.
The template plugin (which I haven't used at all) creates a Templates folder, which seems special too. Might make sense to give it a special icon too.
Might this bug be summarized as "Give all special message folders a special icon"? If that's not too broad bug #428620 (which is about IMAP) could be closed duplicate of this bug.

Created attachment 135965 [details] [review] proposed evo patch for evolution; quite simple, but would like to know Matt's opinion. This also adds icons on drafts/sent folder on an account it the folder is from that account.
Created attachment 135966 [details] ya wanna see it?
Logic looks okay, though I have to reiterate my complaint about Camel not knowing about accounts. Would be nice if folder metadata was all in one place. (Ignore me, I'm just venting.) Icon names: For Templates use "text-x-generic-template" instead of "tab-new" (templates are not tabs). "gtk-edit" is fine for Drafts but maybe consider "accessories-text-editor", just so we're sticking with standard icon names.
Created commit 75ef38d in evo master. Pretty the same as the proposed fix, just changed icon names as suggested and also didn't change the 'flags', but added 'add_flags' there.
