Re: [evolution-patches] [Shell] Can't import the file when glib filename encoding isn't utf8.

Hi Simon/Srini,

 This thread should probably now move into evo-hackers :-)

The Mail composer and the plugins (contact editor, save calendar)
already use the GtkFileChooser (and can still be built w/o using it, I
should add). UI consistency demands that we at least bring most (all, if
we can help it) existing and *all* new interfaces to use GtkFileChooser.

How much is the effort/change involved ? Could this be targeted before
the UI freeze by the month end?

Srini, could we add it to the 'prioritized' list of our  UI tasks for
2.6 and take them down in a UI hackfest sometime next week. [hint :-)]
