Version: 1.5 (using KDE 3.1.0) Installed from: Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker Compiler: gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise Today the columns layout (order, width ...) is stored globally for all folders. IE: go to a folder, change the width of a columns, then go to another folder, the latest layout is in effect there too. I'd like to be able to set a personnal layout for each folder. especially the columns to be shown, their width and position, the sort order of the sorted one. no need for a gui for this. just store the columns layout of each folder independently and apply it upon folder entry in the gui.
We have explicitely changed the folder dependant layout to a global one some time ago. We won't revert this change. But we might make it possible to define some column layouts one can choose from.
Humm I wonder why it have been suppressed as I don't really see the use of having lots of global 'folder layout profiles'. Even if we had the possibility to change, choosing a different profile each time we go to another folder would really be quickly annoying. Is this choosen behaviour the same for the virtual folders ?
still valid for kde 3.2.2 - and last question unanswered :)

I don't see here anything about quality, usability, etc. If someone made a mistake all she/he is supposed to say that it was intentional and...? that's all? Maybe it was unfortunate move, design flaw, I don't know. The historic reasons maybe are interesting for developers but not for the end-users. Only quality counts. Ok, enough about that. Columns view in general should be fully configurable /currently they are not/ but also per folder. I would like to set for folder A columns subject | receiver | date for B subject | sender | date just an example. It could be something like profiles in Forte Agent. There is one global profile and then settings for folder -- "use global or local". If local -- the user is able to modify specific setting.
Agree. Still this problem in KMail 1.11.2 in KDE 4.2.2 I would like to set folder columns layout not globally, but per folder. For Inbox: Sender | Sub | Date | Size; for sent-mail: Receiver | Sub | Date | Size. Because it's unlogical to see Sender in sent-mail, because the sender is always me... If I change that to Receiver, then in Inbox and other folders Receiver would be also me. :C
