I also agree... bolding it is distracting and rather annoying. Personally I don't care one way or another about putting the count there (I can't remember ever caring how many messages I had sent), but don't bold it. Why put it there anyway? Unless you start putting a count on ALL the folders with a "(new/total)" sort of thing, it's not consistent to display any count at all. In any case, FWIW, the count is not even accurate for me. It currently says (207) but when I open the folder it says "202 sent". If I un-hide deleted messages, it says "207 sent" so obviously the folder-bar display is counting deleted, sent messages... which is again inconsistent with the expected meaning of the count WRT other folders. --Eric On Fri, 2001-10-05 at 20:25, Joe Barnett wrote:
well, go ahead and display the message count if you find it so important, but i for one think bolding the folder is just unnecessary, and implies unread-ness, considering that is what bold means in the rest of the tree view. while ui decisions often cause people to whinge and bicker about what's 'natural' (none of this nonsense is natural at all), you can eliminate confusion by being consistent. bold is used in the tree view to represent unread messages contained in folders. (and also to represent logical section breaks, but that is not relevant to this conversation). it makes the most sense to keep it that way. -Joe On Fri, 2001-10-05 at 19:48, NotZed wrote:I suspect any change would confuse you. Well what do i do then? Just leave it off? And never have any count at all on it? No matter what happens people will whinge, especially if its a change from what they're used to.But the count and the folder name on the Sent folder are bold in the latest snapshot so it looks the same as the folders which have unread messages. I find it confusing as well. S. On Fri, 2001-10-05 at 15:54, NotZed wrote:It shows the message count, not the unread message count. Its a sent folder, it will never contain 'unread messages'.I just downloaded Evo ver 0.15.99+cvs10.05.08.08. In the folder summary, my sent folder is now bold and displays a message count. I have no new messages in sent so it should not be bold. ----------------------- Rich Pavlovsky rpavlovs engr csulb edu
