Title: Delete and Next/Preview Pane
Post by: vslacks on August 04, 2006, 11:09:04 AM

One feature I'd love to see is the ability to set a preference that deleting a message from the full message view window would automatically advance you to the next message. Right now, it's annoying that deleting a message returns you to the main message list.

I definitely also think that a preview pane would be an awesome addition. Plus one click opening of messages would be more consistent with the fact that the cursor changes to a hand when you hover over a message (indicating a link - normally a one click action).

A preview pane would be a great addition to Roundcube.

(I'm a brand new user, and I must say I'm thoroughly impressed as it is- once the feature set is complete, RC is going to be one mean email system.)

Well I have been messing around with a theme (for about 20min) and I have a working pane system.

I could not find any documentation on how the template system works (hell,I couldn't find any coding documentation at all) so and I have yet to play around with the source code enough to get it to function as I would like it to.

It seems to work as of right now.

Down sides are:

-You must double click to open a new message. That should not be too hard to change I must just dive into the source code a bit.
-When you open a message it no longer shows as selected above.
-The whole pages refreshes instead of just the info in the message pane.
-I am not sure how the deletion and such will be handled. I am afraid to test it out with my real email account. :P
-Sizes need to be adjusted.
-The panes are not resizeable(sp?) Some javascript trickery will be needed for that.

If anyone would like the CSS to pull this off let me know and I will post it. You will want to play with the sizing to fit your resolution. :)

[EDIT]
Oh yeah you can ignore the strange colors and such. That is just me missing around.
