[turba] Fwd: [horde] Horde and apps thoughts/suggestions/issues

[Mark H. Degner]

Good morning, all.

Last Friday I sent an email to the Horde lists with a variety of thoughts or
issues I had experienced with various applications.  Chuck suggested I send it
to the application specific lists, so I am forwarding an excerpt of the email
with the bullets relevant to the Turba list.

I welcome any comments.

Thank you,

Mark Degner

Good morning all,

I have been using various Horde apps from CVS HEAD for the past few weeks, and I
have been keeping track of any suggestions/issues/inconsistencies/bugs that I
have found (in Mnemo no less).  Since it doesn't do any good to keep it all to
myself, I am sending it out to the list for everyone to take a look at and
consider.  I do understand that several of these apps are still Alpha, but I
wanted to bring any issues to the attention of the developers in case they
weren't aware of them already.  And I apologize if some of these topics have
already been covered, have already been fixed, or are due to misconfiguration
on my part.

While I will try to implement some of these changes myself, my coding is rough,
so I doubt anyone would want to use it anyway.

Horde is a great project, and I thank the developers and contributors for doing
such hard and great work.  It has turned into something I use daily and
heavily.

My notes follow below.

Sincerely,

Mark Degner


Turba - List contacts on several fixed-length pages, rather than one long page,
like the way IMP does with mail.

Turba - filter an address list by first letter of last name.  A selection bar -
<0abcdef..>  (update - right after I initially wrote this, I realized there is a
selection bar, but it is at the bottom of the page.  It would be more useful at
the top of the page, because if any one is going to scroll to the bottom of the
page anyway, filtering will be less useful)

Turba - rolling over an entry in the address book displays all info

Turba - Fields for multiple email addresses per entry

Turba - Shared contact lists

Turba - buttons on the top and bottom of each page, the contact edit page, for
instance.  Currently buttons are at the top of some pages, and at the bottom of
others.  Delete, Move, Copy, etc

Turba - print result/status of action, such as <entry> successfully deleted,
like the way forwards, replies and other status are printed in IMP
