Replace radio buttons in Search folder editor
Last modified: 2012-07-09 12:34:31 UTC
the search folders/filters creation dialog suffers from two problems: 1) less than 20% of the height can be effectively used for "search parameters" (the widgets that contain the actual matching rules) 2) they do not remember their window sizes. Remembering them would ease the pain of those with resolutions >1024x768. To solve problem #1, take a look at my attached screenshot. You need to replace those radio buttons by one gtk combobox, which will achieve the same goal but using 4 times less vertical space.

Matt, I guess it's fixed as a part of kill-bonobo effort.
Actually not yet. The dialogs that list the rules do remember their sizes now, but not the rule editing window itself. Tagging this so I remember to come back to it later, as I think the reporters suggestions here are good.
Created attachment 218329 [details] [review] evo patch for evolution; This makes Search Folder editor smaller, by replacing four radio boxes with a combo box. With changes from bug #661886 the window position/size remembering is not needed.
