Bug ID: 310633
Severity: normal
Version: 4.9.3
Priority: NOR
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Poor error message when trying to create a folder that
already exists
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Chakra
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: folders
Product: kmail2
When trying to create a folder that already exists, the following error message
is displayed:
"Could not create folder: Could not create collection foo resourceId: 12"
This is not always that obvious as kmail might not be subscribing the folder,
so there should be an indication that a folder with this name already exists.
"Could not create folder 'foo' because it already exists in [name of
resource/folder]. " => OK
Ideally the user is informed of that fact that the folder is not displayed
because it is not subscribed, so the error message would ask something like:
"Could not create folder 'foo' because it already exists in [name of
resource/folder]. Do you want to subscribe this folder?" => [Yes] / [No]
After clicking [OK] In the first case, or [No] in the second case, the input
dialog underneath the error message shouldn't be closed, so the user can try
again rightaway.
When clicking [Yes] in the second case, the "Manage local subscriptions" dialog
should be opened instead, marking the line with the concerned folder.
Reproducible: Always
