BBDB3 Electric Popup Window

2012-08-15 Thread Charles Philip Chan
Hello:

I migrated to bbdb3 yesterday and so far I like it better than
bbdb2. The only thing that I don't like is that the popup window is not
electric anymore. Are there any plans for it?

Hey, you seem to be the first one who was using the electric mode of
BBDB v2. Actually, this was removed from BBDB v3 just a few days ago
due to some general design flaws of the electric mode (things not
particularly related to BBDB) and because it appeared that BBDB did
not get any extra functionality from the electric mode. You might
want to take a look at these recent threads on this list.

I hope to learn something new here: In what way did you use the
electric mode of BBDB v2? What are you missing without it?

I like the window configuration restored after using bbdb.

Cheers,

...Makes sense. But electric mode is really not needed here. 
The *BBDB* buffer should be displayed such that -if possible-
a plain quit-window restores the window configuration.
Yet somehow BBDB's approach is (has been) such that it fools
quit-window. I'll try to find out how that can be fixed.

Thanks for looking into it.

On another note, it would be nice if there are settings for the window
size both under and outside of a MUA. I would like to have a much
smaller window in Gnus then if bbdb is called up interactively.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Charles
