(@johannes: i've attached the *original* message.
having this request without a link to the bug report makes it harder
imo, and you only quoted the new error messages though there are more
new strings.)

this is a fix, not a change.

the quality of the patch is quite bad. it has a typo (" :") and even
worse, the new error messages are not marked for translation. so it's
kind of ridiculous.
well. i filed the bug report about this issue so i'm somehow biased...
currently nothing happens when you click on the menu item. there is a
hint in the terminal output, but i don't expect many users to start evo
from terminal.
now there are two options: 1) string freeze break, 2) no string freeze
break by leaving the feature in a "broken" state and move/keep the
plugin in the "experimental" set.
i would not call it a *serious* bug, but a visible and confusing bug (as
already written: you click and nothing happens).
*if* the i18n team decides to not accept the break: distros may still
patch evo and make sure that gvim is installed, so users do not face
this issue.
user docs and screenshots are currently maintained by novell themselves,
so the decision about this is up to the i18n team. ;-)

Hi, I have updated a plugin for Evolution - "external-editor" Initially this was a experimental plugin and we had to move it to the standard list of plugins. Hence, it involved some new UI Screens and strings (for error-message). The current version in trunk is bare-bones and lacks error messages and is unintuitive. The plugin is to enable an external editor say xemacs, to use as the composer for Evolution, while composing new mails. So a bug ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517168 ) is filed and I have attached a patch ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=105893&action=view ) that is reviewed, approved and tested. I request you to approve this freeze-break request to commit the patch. The new UI screen added is the configure widget for the plugin - as attached with the mail. The new error messages added are: - Editor not launchable The external editor set in your plugin preferences cannot be launched. Try setting a different editor. - Cannot create Temporary File Evolution is unable to create a temporary file to save your mail. Retry later. This feature is not documented so far as it was in experimental stage. So there will be no documentation impact. I will ensure that this gets documented for Evolution 2.22 release, by working with Radhika (CCed) So the impact will be in Translation only. In case you want any of the strings to be changed, please let me know so that I can change them as well and commit the updated patch. -- Sankar PAttachment: external-editor-config.png
