| My bad, I kept going on the bug when I should have been posting comments to the list ;o) In reply to Brian's comment below, the proposal I put forth in the bug would unify 'Go offline' for sharing and email by allowing the user to essentially suspend syncing of all shares. I think unless we can unify these concepts for Preview, my sense is that it will be too confusing to make 'Go offline' for email available for the end-user. However, we can certainly keep it in the Test menu for developers. Yes, but in Chandler the mental model we're trying to promote is that Sharing is all things Communications and agnostic to protocol. Sharing includes: IMAP, POP, WebDAV, CalDAV, RSS and eventually IM, SMS, VoIP etc. If we have a single 'Go offline' menu that includes email and sharing, I think it be confusing to have it under the File menurather than the Share menu. Especially because all the Sync related stuff for both Email and Sharing are under the Share menu. I think the key issue is not which menu header to place the offline toggle under but how will the toggle work. Right now the online / offline toggle is very specific to sharing of individual collections. As stated earlier this is not the right model for mail or RSS or VOIP or any of the other sharing protocols outside of CalDAV / WebDAV. |
