Re: [evolution-patches] Request review my patch for bug #46017

Hi Antonio, Ettore, and hackers.

So, regarding what label to use in the import wizard: 

The only issue I have with Ettore's suggestion ("Evolution didn't find
any settings that could be imported from other applications.") 
is that it doesn't offer the user any information about what to do if
she really does think that she has some importable data. That is, it
doesn't offer any troubleshooting tips. It also doesn't explain what
applications Evolution can import from. (Is that explained somewhere
else in the wizard?) 

Ideally, the message would be something like this: 

"Evolution checked for settings to import from the following
applications: Pine, Netscape, <list of apps here>. No settings that
could be imported where found. If you would like to try again, please
click the "Back" button." (Or whatever troubleshooting tip might be
appropriate, I am just guessing about the "Back" button.) If you wished,
you could include a link to an online support document, in which case
the last sentence would become "Please consult the troubleshooting tips
in the Online Support Center (or whatever we are calling it these days)
for more information about importing your old settings." 

Does this make sense? 

Anna
