b.g.o gets lots of reports that people can't see their mail. see http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#I_cannot_see_some_emails.2C_but_they_must_be_there. for possible reasons. what i want to see: if evolution gets **started** with a preview pane height of 0 px, reset it to a sane value. (this happens when the pane slider is at the bottom) show a message in the message list pane *if* the message list pane is empty *because* a search view is enabled. like for the addressbook (cf. bug 228725). if (text_inputfield != null) { printf("No messages are displayed because you have a search view enabled to show %s", $emfb_view_items/$temp_view_items) } else { printf("No messages are displayed because you have a search view enabled to show %s where %s %s", $emfb_view_items/$temp_view_items, $emfb_search_scope_items, $entered_text_value) } from a i18n POV the last sentence is crap, no idea yet how to do better. but you get the point.
Created attachment 109427 [details] [review] proposed evo patch for evolution; Andre, I used different text, do you care? We can tweak it, of course, but I do not have much access for texts you requested. I also forced a minimum size for message list and preview panel, so one will not be able to hide it (by an accident?).
Created attachment 110027 [details] [review] proposed evo patch ][ for evolution; Fixes issue with virtual folders and no filter set, the e-sexp wasn't able to properly handle this situation, so I prechecked the value and made it happy again. I also removed my size request set to preview and message list, it has its own size requests already set, so no need to overwrite them.
Milan, looks awesome. But. Can you center the text to the message list preview ?
Committed to trunk. Committed revision 35459. As discussed on IRC, I rather used the left-align, because it works a bit better than centered, furthermore with wrapping.
