In the oxygen widget style, there is no empty field, it is drawn with the \/ arrow at the right. And also notice that this filed can be one not in the drop-down list. Basically, what you want is to have something like Opera or FireFox have in the search field. Right? This could be applied to the KDE drop-down in a lot of places. Created attachment 31057 [details]

<i>In the oxygen widget style, there is no empty field, it is drawn with the \/ arrow at the right.</i> at least not in kmail's filter config (see attachment) <i>And also notice that this field can be one not in the drop-down list.</i> this wish is about telling that to the user <i>Basically, what you want is to have something like Opera or FireFox have in the search field. Right?</i> I use only konqueror... Ok, I've found screenshots of Firefox, you are talking about the 'Google' grey text in the default search field ? If so, yes. <i>This could be applied to the KDE drop-down in a lot of places.</i> Would be a good improvement Created attachment 31058 [details]

Yes, the arrow is there. But with some gray text could be better...
Yes, some gray test as the quick 'search' widget in kmail 1.11.0 I though you were spoking of the black horizontal 'v' with a white cross in it... that is used to blank the field (In reply to comment #4) Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding. Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2. I can't confirm until my distributions integrate kmail2, which will not happen before some months. Can't you wait before closing such reports that all major distribs integrate kmail2? After testing last kmail version (from project neon), I confirm this wish: In filter criterias, the left drop-down menu should contain some gray text (as the quick 'search' widget) to help users understand what to do.

Fix Bug 183448 - not intuitive drop-down filter criteria - add default text FIXED-IN: 4.10 M +2 -0 mailcommon/searchpatternedit.cpp http://commits.kde.org/kdepim/9287c6ce879607e7cb89d180c163c6fd2a9bbae0 Cool! thanks Laurent. But I think the text is too long for the windows size. Can I suggest "choose or type criteria"? |
