Public bug reported:
just installed gutsy
evolution, out of the box, has about a million evolution plugins
installed -- all of which are enabled.
this makes evolution slow and more prone to crashes
i've disabled just about all of them now, but it'd be nice if the
majority were disabled by default.
some examples of particularly comical enabled-by-default plugins:
- spam filtering ones: don't almost all ISPs do this now?
- "copy tool" - "A test plugin which demonstrates a popup menu plugin which
lets you copy things to the clipboard."
- "default mail client" - bug you on startup if you decided to make evo not
your default
- "face" - attach a "face" pixmap to outgoing email (glad i haven't
accidentally sent any mail since i installed gutsy...)
- "mail notification" -- i just personally find this one excessively annoying
and there's no obvious option in the preferences to disable it
- "mark all read" - mark all messages in a folder as read (if you don't like
to do the select-all thing, i guess?)
- various "groupwise" and "exchange" stuff -- not used by the vast majority
of people and easily-enabled by those who know they need it
- "prefer plain text" -- i kid you not: "This plugin is unsupported
demonstration code only." and enabled by default
