[Evolution] evolution doesn't remember open windows and placement on shutdown
Given that I have to have multiple evolution windows open to monitor all of my INBOXes due to the very broken vFolders in 2.24.0 and the multiple times a day I have to "evolution --force-shutdown" due to bug 555262 (which I would call yet another basic-functionality-broken-in-2.24.0 bug), it's really getting annoying that evolution does not remember the windows I have open (i.e. and on which folders they are open on) and restore them. To be totally honest, I'm really starting to get quite angry that the evolution team have labelled this POS 2.24.0 release as a final release and not some pre-release beta, or alpha because quite frankly that's the quality of it. If this release were labelled alpha or beta or pre-release or something else, I could have been more cautious about upgrading to it, but I trusted that it was final release quality given that it was a final release version. I need to seriously consider resurrecting the 2.22 release I was using prior to this "upgrade" (to mis-use a term) because this is just getting silly now. b. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Infact, we know some issues and we are fixing also. Just check today's code drop on stable branch, you would understand that we are really fixing issues for 2.24.1. It has some basic arch changes, that made us break ABI and so much of changes there. Infact, I'm looking for a 2.24.0.1 release sometime next week, as the changes are substantial to have a mid-point-release. Also our QA is on a long vacation and back just last week and its holiday period in India.

AFAICS, I'm in touch with Seb who packages Evo for Ubuntu and I'm working on some of his top blockers. -Srini ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I'm wondering why this simple question has not been answered. I'm not usually the type to be demanding or expecting from open source projects, but in this case, it seems that Evolution 2.24 has been called "final" FAR too early. My guess is that there was pressure to get a release out the door timed with Gnome and the result of that pressure was releasing something that was plain and simply not ready yet. I've filed numerous bugs on basic functionality that simply doesn't work (i.e. GSSAPI, vFolders, mailbox mis-naming) and not a single one of them has even been triaged yet. Is the number of bugs that you are frantically trying to fix for 2.24.1 so large that you cannot even triage basic functionality bugs such as I have posted? You folks do realize that this "final" 2.24.0 is going to ship with Ubuntu's Intrepid release right (unless they decide to pull it at the last minute -- which without a 2.24.1 I would certainly recommend they do)? With such basic functionality problems I can't imagine the landslide of complaints and unhappiness that you are going to experience with this release. There is no way I can see my way clear to letting a userbase loose on 2.24.0 at this point in time. b. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
