What were you doing when the application crashed?
Hello,

its not really a bug I want to report. Its a feature request. It would be better to have a option in the contextmenu when selecting multiple-addresscards to define a category to these selected cards.

best regards,
Benny

I am sorry wrinting the feature request to this list. Perhaps you can give me an advice where to do this the next time. thx

Hello,

Will this feature be added soon ?

I'm a new user of evolution (2 months).
I have to create a new category in my address book (this category concerns a newly created association), approximately 50 contacts will be added to this category.

I will have to manually check the category checkbox in every contact addresscard !

It isn't really ergonomic...

Warning: my comment doesn't contain any useful information for fixing the bug.

I'd like to call this a "usability bug". I was just going to organize my contacts into categories, but when I realized that I'd have to add a category to every contact one by one, I just gave up. Combining this usability problem with the actual bugs that the feature has, I don't think many people are using it in it's current state. I hope it gets better soon, because it's a nice feature to have and parts of it are done very well already.

Oh no, I just noticed that this bug was filed nearly four years ago. I'll go and check some other e-mail clients, if organizing contacts is easier in them.
