I will add message for the users in KDE 3.1 (to late for 3.0) Greetings Christian -- >><< Christian Gebauer >><< gebauer@gmx.com >><< ICQ 14916140 >><< This is indeed in CVS. However I see 5 problems :
1) there is no indication in the error dialog that the message is in the Drafts folder.
2) the error dialog is VERY small ( i.e. the error message gets wrapped several times )
Is this a general KDE problem ?
3) It may be better if the error message gets placed in the Drafts folder rather
than the Output folder
4) Shouldn't the number of articles be displaced for the Drafts/Output folder ?
5) Shouldn't the Drafts folder be marked as if it had "Unread" articles ( i.e. in bold ) ?
( Shouldn't I add a new wish list for some of these :-)
I think this bug is solved, but the wishlist items should be filed ;) I will close this bug next week if nobody objects. Will have a look if the wishlist items are filed then. Rainer CVS commit by vkrause: Use KDialogBase instead of QDialog for the send error dialog and give it a reasonable default size. CCMAIL: 35456@bugs.kde.org M +15 -55 knarticlefactory.cpp 1.77 M +3 -13 knarticlefactory.h 1.21 The error message is fixed since at least 3.2 (not sure about 3.1), the error dialog now also has a reasonable default size. Thus I consider this fixed. Concerning the Drafts vs. Output question: KMail puts messages which couldn't send into the Output folder. That makes sense IMHO since the error could be temporary (think of dial-up connections). If you are able to convince the KMail team to change this, KNode will of course follow ;) |
