I'd recommend against this. A new dialog for each item could be confusing and frustrating, selecting a group of attachments and then properties of that grouping is an action that is associated with changing the properties of the group. Having multiple dialogs would be an action to change properties of each item in the group. > In my opinion, to disable the "properties" menu item when selecting > multi attachments is a acceptable solution. what do you think of it? Removing it altogether seems to be the easiest solution, however there is probably a use case associated with this action. Keeping the dialog and making the useless entries insensitive would be my recommendation. The Properties Dialog has 3 entries and a check box. 1 File Name: 2 Description: 3 MIME type: 4 [ ] Suggest automatic display of attachment #1: This is useful for single selection name changing, but I doubt that someone would want all the attachments to have the same file name. I wouldn't say this is a useful option for multiple attachments properties, but is for a single attachment property. #2: Although I think it's highly unlikely that anyone will actually set the Description field of their attachment, it's possible they might want to set a group of attachments a description like "Pictures from the Lake" and such. So this could be an options for multiple attachments properties. #3: This doesn't seem to be a field for changing really, just information display and won't be very useful for multiple attachments. It's behavior remains the same at each point #4: I'm not really sure what this is. It seems like an unnecessary option, but I couldn't say for sure as I'm at a loss for its use. I'd recommend that this just goes from the dialog altogether unless its functionality is critical. ~ Bryan -- Graduate Student Clarkson University School of Hard UI Knocks Potsdam, NY USA _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
