Hello folks,
I just fired up the RC1 releases and have found few issues:
Firstly, the "ask for passphrase" dialog when attempting to sign a
message using gpg brings up the PGP options screen in the little pop up
window, instead of the passphrase input field.
Second issue is one of overall performance. I am running a CVS cut from
22/02/2004 (on the same machine with the same options set - show
attachment icons etc) which is a lot faster than RC1. Some very rough
stopwatch work suggests that loading the first page of a large mailbox
takes 3x as long.
Finally, an issue with turba import, so I will post the following over
there as well.
When importing CSV, turba decides what fields are available by looking
at the first record. I believe a rethink on this is needed, for the
reasons illustrated below.
My CSV file is something like:
Bob, Jones, bjones at somewhere,,
John, Smith,jsmith at somewhere,John Smith's address,
Dave, Peters,dpeters at somewhere,,Dave's Phone number
If I import this file, I will not be able to import the extra detail on
John Smith or Dave Peters. Looping round through all the lines in the
CSV, identifying all the unique fields, then presenting the first
record, as well as the first of each record that contains an extra field.
Hmmm.. managed to make that as clear as mud didn't I - feel free to
contact me directly on kent@ the domain this email came from if you want
a better explanation.
Regards,
Kent
