Description Patrick Scharrenberg 2010-01-18 13:19:29 UTC

Version:           4.3.90-0ubuntu1~karmic1~ppa1 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When opening the Popup Notes view, Kontact presents all notes as icons with the name text, which in most cases will be some kind of summary, below. Apparently these names are abbreviated to the first five characters which is in no way informative. Unfortunately this behavior is not changeable.

I would suggest some kind of list view where the name is presented next to the icon.

Comment 1 Fabio Rossi 2010-08-28 19:20:42 UTC

Yes, I agree with Patrick. At least the layout of the icons should be improved to show the entire name of the note.

Comment 2 Romain Henriet 2010-11-10 23:19:01 UTC

I agree too. When using many notes, it is very difficult to find the one you are looking for.

It's necessary to abbreviated it but I increase maximum length to 40 characters.
And I added a klineedit to search notes directly.
