Tooltip shows encoded folder name for special character
Version: 2.0.0pre1
- Press Shift-M
- Enter a folder name which contains a special character (like ß). => The folder name is shown properly (with the special character).
- Hover the mouse.
Actual result: Tooltip is shown, but &AN8- is shown instead of ß. Expected result: The full path should also show the special character properly.
Looks like IMAP UTF-7. Maybe this can help : https://github.com/emailjs/emailjs-utf7.
The tooltip was a hack, definitely a valid issue. I'm going to get the decoded name from Thunderbird, it just wasn't as straightforward.
Thanks Philipp, I searched a bit to understand how to get the decoded name from Thunderbird but ... I do confirm, it's not straightforward :-/
If you can give me some guidance : documentation to read, article to find inspiration, .. whatever, I'll be happy to investigate further, propose pull requests and hopefully help !
The way I had planned to do it was walk up the chain of folders and get those names. The data is already there, it just wasn't pretty or performant to get to it. The name property the api delivers should already be decoded.
See also #14 which will require walking up the chain as well, and is likely a better solution than the tooltip. I'm thinking it might make sense to keep previous behavior where the folder is only shown if there are duplicate names.
I'm using #14 for a couple weeks now and I don't want to hear about tooltip anymore ... It's very slow to wait for the tooltip to show ... Having the information shown, in a greyed color that does not attract your eyes. Unless you need to look at it to resolve any conflict that you would have by looking at the similar folders given by your search.
I've tested v2 final with ß now and it seems to work fine. We also have options for full path, if anything is missing please file a new issue.
