Description Marc Cousin 2011-10-18 15:26:39 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

I tried configuring the 'Mark as read' shortcut, first surprise is that there are two 'mark as unread' shortcuts, and no 'mark as read' shortcut (I can provide a screenshot capture).

I tried to overwrite this by fiddling with .kde4/share/apps/kontact/local-kmail2.rc and defining the shortcut myself there. This one works for a few hours, and then disappears too (maybe I changed another shortcut, I don't know…). I guess it must be the consequence of the first problem. The mark as read sometimes appeared in the shortcut edit box after I edited the local-kmail2.rc file.

It is on a fresh kde 4.7.2 archlinux install.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start on a kde 4.7.2 fresh install and try to edit the shortcut of 'mark as read' in kmail or kontact

Actual Results:  
there is no 'mark as read' entry.

Expected Results:  
Have a 'mark as read' entry, and be able to edit it.

I just added a snapshot of the problem. And here in the excerpt from .kde4/share/apps/kontact/local-kmail2.rc:

 </ToolBar>
 <ActionProperties scheme="Default">
  <Action shortcut="Ctrl+R" name="akonadi_mark_as_read"/>
  <Action shortcut="G" name="jump_to_folder"/>
 </ActionProperties>
</kpartgui>

1 hour ago, there was a mark as read option in the shortcut menu… I cannot find the cause of it appearing and disappearing.

I can confirm this with Kmail2 from openSUSE 12.1, KDE 4.7.2 "release 5".

One of the "mark as unread" entries seems to toggle the read-status. Alas, this is not what I need. I need a "mark as read", no matter what the state was before.

Comment 4 Marc Cousin 2012-01-20 07:55:56 UTC

I finally found a way to reproduce this:

The «mark as read» shortcut is only displayed in the shortcuts list (settings/configure shortcuts) when the selected mail is unread, and the «mark as unread» shortcut is only displayed in the shortcuts list when the selected mail is read.

Fixed now. in 4.8.1
We changed text from this action
It was not good.
Now we use 2 actions. and disable actions when we can't use it.
