Re: [Geary] Request: Save, Not Save-And-Close

[johnywhy gmail com]

Revision below to my previous long list of requests/issues. 

I searched the tracker, only one of my items was already reported, sorry about that. 

Change "Save and close" to just "Save".

New request, i believe. Couldn't find this in tracker. 

This would be superseded by Michael's ticket to rework composer draft management: "The Save button can be removed", but i disagree. I'm aware other clients (eg MailBird) overwrite the saved draft automatically, but this forces dataloss on the user-- The user may want to discard the current open edits, and keep the last-saved draft. Please don't take away user-control of that. Only overwrite the version in the Drafts folder until user explicitly saves, with Control-S, save button, or confirms save on closing the composer.

CONTROL-S to save a draft. 

New request.  

If i click away without saving, then ask me if i want to save. 

Already reported. My bad.

Auto-save drafts

New issue. i have noticed some drafts not getting autosaved. A bit confused by Michael's comment "a draft should always be saved automatically", which implies that they aren't?

Don't put Save draft button ("Save my life") millimeters away from Delete draft button ("Kill myself")

New request. 

This would be superseded by Michael's ticket to rework composer draft management: "The Save button can be removed", but as mentioned i auto-save risks data-loss. Apologies for my dramatic metaphors, but some emails feel that important-- especially if you just accidentally deleted an email you spent 3 hours composing cuz the buttons are so close to each other. Just trying to emphasize how important this may feel at times. 

Don't confirm to save. 

New request. 

Don't offer to discard the message if i just clicked Save

New request. 

A better Save-icon

New request. Also, i notice geary uses the same download icon to download attachements, so we're using the same icon to mean two different things. 

Cheers!
