Version: 1.9.7 (using 3.5.8, Debian Package 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7 (lenny/sid)) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.18-6-686 When creating a new filter for my inbox, I clicked on the folder icon next to the action desired. When the "Select Folder" dialog appears, I attempted to create a "New Subfolder" by clicking on the button so labeled. Nothing happens.
Confirmed in KMail 1.9.9 (KDE 3.5.9) and trunk. The problem is that the "New Subfolder" button is disabled in KMFolderSelDlg::slotUpdateBtnStatus() by: enableButton( User1, folder() && ( !folder()->noContent() && !folder()->noChildren() ) ); For the root of the folder tree, folder() is NULL and so the button is disabled. There isn't a simple fix of just enabling the button and accepting NULL as meaning "root", because the required parent folder is passed down to KMFolderTree::addChildFolder(). There, a folder of NULL means "current selected item", which would create the new folder under the selected folder in the *main folder tree* (not the tree displayed in the dialogue). May need to add an additional parameter to addChildFolder() to specify "ignore what is selected in the GUI".
