I hate having to create intermediary smart folders in iTunes. But once you have a set of criteria that you want to reuse, and a place to put away these saved searches, the problems I have are resolved. This is just a matter of naming and concept. Saved searches are saved searches, and they appear in the big window containing all sources because they are sources too. But they don't make the source list. When you drag one of them to the source list in the main window, they become a smart folder, but that's just the UI element name as per OS customs. It's the same thing as a saved search internally. That's all. So the idea is that you build the source list by cherry picking from a all-encompassing sources repository. > I don't find very nice replicating the entire structure of the mailbox... if > you could just show the mailbox. I don't either, but I think that's what would be expected by most IMAP users. It's better to start with a familiar UI, and let the new niceties grow on the user organically. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
