ML> Sorry, I forgot to address the following argument in my previous
ML> reply.
I'll answer this one because you said in a single clear sentence what
you expounded on in your previous note. :=)
>> For me, my default folders are TRUE defaults. If I wish to change
>> the sorting view, I wish it to be done for all the folders.
ML> You mean "sorting view", or threading view?
I mean all the different threading views and the unthreaded view.
ML> Either one is hard to understand to me. May I ask how many of your
ML> folders are default folders?
Out of 28 folders, 15 are using the default settings.
ML> To me, I want all my folders (except Outbox and Sent folder) to be
ML> default folders. IOW, I want all my folders to look the same
ML> threading by, say, references. Same as you, I want different column
ML> settings for "threading by references" and "threading by subject".
Not really like me. I may wish to thread two folders by references and
yet wish to have different column settings for both folders. It depends
on what types of messages I'm threading. For instance, message size may
be important to me in one folder while it's not in the other.
ML> The most logical way to do this, is to have 5 default column
ML> settings, one for each threading view.
Yes! This is what I understood from your explanation in your previous
message and I agree that this would be the only way of sorting this out
while maintaining present functionality and I must say, it sounds good.
:=) I have no problem with that. However, I'm beginning to wonder if
this isn't already the case. Hmmm, if I change one of my default folders
view to different threading modes, adjusting the column settings, I can
now switch from one view to the other and see that my adjustments have
been saved for each view. If I go to another of the default folders and
do the same, I see the same column settings as I created in the previous
default folder appear. So it would seem that this has already been
implemented. Now its just to implement an option that prevents the other
default folders from changing threading view when one of the others has
been changed.
ML> Then all my folders could be default folders, and when I change
ML> view, it just use the default column setting for that view.
Right.
ML> What I don't want, is when I change threading view for my TB-related
ML> folders (which I prefer threading by references), my school mailing
ML> list folders are also changed. Why? Because it makes no sense to
ML> thread my school mail by references (many of them have no reference
ML> fields in the headers). Currently the only way to avoid this is to
ML> make one (or both) of them a non-default folder, and change its
ML> settings individually. But that makes adjusting column settings a
ML> pain.
Not really. You do it once. I can't tell the last time I've adjusted
column settings and half of my folders don't use default column
settings.
ML> Say I have 10 folders (actually many more). 2 of them are normally
ML> threaded by references, 3 of them are threaded by subject, and the
ML> other 5 not threaded at all. The best I can do is set the 5
ML> non-threaded to default folders, and adjust column settings for the
ML> other 5 individually. I regularly use those 3 threading views for
ML> all of them (though for each folder, one is preferred and used most
ML> often), so I have to set up 18 different column settings (and the
ML> more folders I have, the more settings to set up). If we do it my
ML> way, I need to do that only 3 times, regardless how many folders I
ML> have!
I see the problem you're having and I agree with your solution though
I'd prefer if it were made optional. I personally prefer if the view
changes as well as the column settings for all my default folders when I
make a change.
