Why would you want to know if KMail is transferring something in the composer window? on comment one: same reasons as in the main window... to know the state, to know if some big email is comming and the connection is busy atm; to know that soon, spamassassin will make kmail unresponsible for short time-frames because of checking.... to feel happy while expecting an email from girlfriend that is traveling on the other side of the world atm... the same reasons as they are in the main window. Considering you can't read emails or see the subjects from the Composer window, I still question this feature. you mean while the spamassassin lock? yes, that's true... but that's not the main reason for having such a feature. once spamassassin thingens will be solved hopefully. imagine you are sending a big email (20mb) over a slow connection while wanting to compose another email. seeing the status of your transfer wihtout switching windows would be nice to know when your transfer is transfered or/and how long it takes. It would be nice to know as well if KMail finished sending the email in the Konqueror window or in a chat window in Konversation, but we're not going to implement it there. If you want to see that information when in any other application, you have to switch to KMail's main window. Why do you want the Composer window to behave differently? because the composer is part of kmail and you are still doing emailing. when you hhave konqueror open, you are not emailing any more. when i'm doing some browsing or some other things, i don't care what kmail is actually doing in the background, as long as the surfing works. on the other hand, if i'm emailing, it gives a better feeling if you know what is going on. |
