Bug ID: 366709
Summary: Dialogs when importing old KMail filters need more
context
Product: kmail2
Version: 4.14.10
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: psychon...@nothingisreal.com
When importing old KMail filters via Settings->Configure Filters->Import->KMail
filters, KMail2 may occasionally pop up "Select Account" or "Select Folder"
dialogs (see attached) asking for the user to provide some missing information.
However, the only context provided to the user is the name of the filter. In
many cases this is not enough information for the user to make a decision.
Users cannot be expected to remember exactly what any given filter does. And
even if they do, some filters have multiple actions that reference several
different folders, so there is no way of knowing which action KMail2 is
prompting them about.
Please redesign the dialog prompts so that they display all the original
details of the imported filter. Or if this is too complicated, just dispense
with the prompts, and provide the user with a selectable/saveable report of
missing information so that he or she can manually fix these filters after the
import process is complete.
Reproducible: Always
