Folder window not wide enough

[EricEffern]

When using s,g the folder window opens. On a server with a deep folder tree (as ours), I cannot see the entier folder string and thus cannot make a selection and thus cannot use the Addon.

Possible solutions:

1. the window would have to be about twice as wide.
2. make the window width configurable in the settings
3. align the string right instead of left. The right part is usually more important.

Personanlly I would prefer solution 2.

Thanks for this great tool

the old had no width. But is gone. The new input field needs a width, otherwise it is only 20 chars. At the moment, it is set to 70. I will make it a preference. That might be best for the future, considering laptops and wide screen displays.

One can also right align it. If you have a userChrome enabled (that still somehow is possible), you could do it yourself: input { text-align:right; } on the id id="nostalgy-folderbox" edit: the right align does not help

make the window width configurable in the settings - I have introduced a corresponding pref. Tried with width 120 (was 70). Also, I have hidden the new rule message when the folderbox is displayed - gives more space

I will upload a new version after a few other changes.

I have the same issue with the waaay tooo short folder list. I have a folder structure with sub-folders and when I try to move mails (v), only a fraction of the folder name or path is visible.

Would be great if the with of this field can be configured.

Nostalgy++ 2.2.3 with new features

@opto opto released this now

This release has some new features:

Esc-r shows/opens the attachment list of a message. Esc-1 (-2, -3 etc.) displays the first, second ... image attachment. No longer do we need to open an external image viewer to have a preview of Photo/image attachments.

The width of the folderbox in characters can be set in a pref.

The help text in statusbar has been put into a tooltip to give more space for long foldernames.

Hi opto, thanks a lot. I have installed manage_emails_nostalgy_pp_2.2.3-tb.xpi but in the prefs dialog I cannot find any setting for the width of the folder window ?

Hi, ... Installed the version 2.2.3 ... I am also not able to find the stated configuration for the folder window width. Can you provide more details how to configure it please?

[opto]

at the moment, somewhat hidden... goto TB options: tools->settings. At the bottom of the General tab, open about:config. Adjust extensions.nostalgy.FolderBoxChars
