Hi devs and list lurkers
After having a hard discussion about the plugin architecture I decided to start with an implementation which is supposed to be a basis for more discussion and design decisions. You can fetch it from https://svn.roundcube.net/branches/devel-api.
I also updated the wiki page to summarize the current state of the plugin API development: http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Plugin_API
Feel free to contribute to that page or to this thread. There's still a lot of work to be done!
Bummer. Wish I had seen this coming - explanation follows...
First, I suppose I should preface this by saying I was going to create a new topic called UI changes. Point being, as much as I like RC, I /do/ have a few "pet peeves" peeves
- unable to resize the columns in the message list view
- no "right-click" options/anything
- the DOM/JavaScript (Jquery?), while lighter than many(most?), is still a bit "heavy"
- theme selection is not available to the end user
- message views are still rendered as HTML even when "view as text only" is selected
- no user definable filters - spam/important/move||copy to folder/move to trash/delete
I have a few others, but the ones I mentioned above bother me the most for 2 reasons;
- Most other mail clients already offer the mentioned options
- because of 1. I'm used to the options, and find myself missing them.
Because of all this, I downloaded the most recent versions from SVN 2.5 days ago, in an effort to see if any of these areas had been touched upon, as I had intended to add all of this, and didn't want to re-write something that had already been started. The only thing I found that came close to any of this was a "flags" option. Now that I have started on this, I am presented with this "plugin_API" announcement - see "bummer" above. So, since I have no use for SVN on any of my 50 servers because of all the security holes. I'll need to download the "current" SVN state, so as to see how this plugin_API affects any of the work I've already accomplished. Then convert the SVN to CVS && diff && import. Sigh... Anyway, though this will be a PIA for me. I am at least happy to discover that some progress has been made to /hopefully/ facilitate making the use of RC easier and more comfortable for (potential)users/administrators.
Best wishes.
