Hi, all. As part of working on the fix for bug #349966 (1), Srinivasa Ragavan and I have decided that a new gconf key needs to be added. This would break string freeze, so I'm requesting here, before anything gets committed.
Here's the background. As part of the change that switched evolution from using gnome_file_entry to using gtk_file_chooser, a bug was introduced where, under some circumstances, a URI could be saved in the gconf key /apps/evolution/mail/save_dir, which was later passed to a non-URI accepting function. The discussion around the fix for this resulted in my producing a patch to convert all users of that key (except one) to using only URI based file access, allowing remote access over, say, sftp:// URIs. Srinivasa and I agree that this is a very desirable feature to have in 2.16, especially since the mixture of local paths and URIs has caused problems in the past. However, there's one piece of code in evolution that still uses gnome_file_entry for it's dialogs, which won't take URIs. This is the code to add a specific alarm audio file to an alarm in the calendar. This code was also using the /apps/evolution/mail/save_dir key, which we consider to be a bug. Adding an alarm file shouldn't change the directory used to save attachments. In addition, changing this to use gtk_file_chooser was deemed to large a change for this late in the release cycle. It will occur in evo 2.9. The solution to this is to add a new key for the alarm audio file dialogs to use. This key will be /apps/evolution/calendar/audio_dir. The schema (2) added for this breaks string freeze. If this freeze break is granted, I'd like to add another request to it: the key /apps/evolution/mail/save_dir, which has existed for many versions, currently has no schema. I would like to add a schema (3) for it, which would also break string freeze.
