Proposals
[edit]
General
- Evo2.12
- andre proposes those ten issues again that he already proposed with good reasons for the last decades...
- https://go-evolution.org/Evo2.10
- Preloaded popular email providers (GMail, more...)
- Ditch the gnome-pilot sync in favor of integration with http://www.opensync.org/
- (GNOME seems to be going the route of http://www.conduit-project.org/ so perhaps this should be considered instead of opensync?)
- Sync GNOME and Evolution versions GNOME 2.22/Evolution 2.22
- Split UI
- Unified Account Management
- maybe reusing libslab (control-center) would be something to look at ?
- 247373 - Intrusive Error Dialogs
- 413618 - Add Undo function for tasks, notes and appointments
- 438050 - Add summary page for tasks, appointments, birthdays in advance etc
- Make Evolution detect that it crashed last time, like Epiphany does. This may be as simple as touching a file somewhere at start up and removing it on exit. Then on the next start up, check whether the file exists. If it does, take appropriate action like not displaying anything in the preview pane. What else?
- 255248 - Launching Evo when already running shouldn't start second instance
[edit]
- Disk-summary
- IMAPX
- IMAP ACL support ?
- Server Side rules (IMAP/Exchange), manageSIEVE
- Custom mail headers while sending mails
- Better support for IMAP offline mode (caching everything in background for first time, instead caching single message when click on it)
[edit]
Tasks
- 127558 - Bugzilla Task Backend
- Tasklist Improvements (More quick search and advanced search options)
- Support for copying from a task widget in evolution to the calendar with formatting.
[edit]
Exchange support
- Exchange Delegates support (Mail/Calendar)
- Exchange Summary support (Show from cache)
[edit]
Calendar
- Work out calendar tooltip slugish behaviour (bug #)
-
Can you be more descriptive. Please give the bug id if there are any.
- Tooltip on calendar events is really slow to (re)draw so on slow computer you often see a not so nice trace when moving the mouse a bit fast, will search for a bug ID or fill one ASAP
-
Can you be more descriptive. Please give the bug id if there are any.
- Add a legend on printing a calendar page (daily, weekly, whatever) so that you can tell the difference between different calendars. This is especially important on black & white printers.
- Timezone handling
- Optionally show time and timezone somewhere in a corner
- When selecting the timezone
- Remember favorite timezones in a drop down menu. Selecting locations on the map is annoying
- Add "use system TZ" option
- When adding an appointment
- Add support for different timezones for start and end of an event (e.g. flights)
- Use UTC entries in the ics file only, since some sync programs ignore and even strip TC info. Yes, i really mean using a TZ field for editing the time but not storing the TZ info.
