sidebar

[Jeremy Eder]

Karel, do you have any plans to incorporate the sidebar patch ?  Also
mutt-ng extended the sidebar patch  (I guess never got into Terry's sidebar patch).

mutt-ng added one nice feature sidebar-next-new and sidebar-prev-new
functions.  They also added a 'remember last folder' option in the
attachments workflow which is nice.

 I have used sidebar patch for years in regular mutt, so I'd like to
 see the same feature in mutt-kz and ideally with support for virtual
 folders.

 Anyway, I'm still very busy with some other work (mostly util-linux
 upstream) so I don't want to promise anything right now.
 
 Currently the most important seems to stabilize the notmuch stuff (I
 still see crashes) in mutt-kz, create rpm, deb, ... packages and make
 it useful for end users.
 
 Volunteers? ... I'm really open for arbitrary collaboration :-)

I will be happy to package it for Fedora:)

I wish there are more mutt 3rd party patches integrated, but sidebar
makes sense in connection with predefined virtual folders representing
searches, ie a bit different use case than bare folders. So I'm for
picking it early. There seems to be a number of patches implementing
sidebar, hard to say which one would be the best. There's one in debian
and opensuse (these I know about), and I think that they're tested in
the wild. I have no idea how many mutt-ng's are left being used today.

Maybe we should get the one that Will Foster's using, since it's
well-tested.

Well, why not. Attached a patch merged from 3 sidebar related patches in
opensuse.  Applies on top of mutt-kz master, compiles and quick test was
ok. I think it could be merged as is and later updated with fixes from
other sidebar patch instances. Hope this will help to devlopment going.

 Excellent. Applied.

 I have also added support for virtual folders to the sidebar code:

 * if 'virtual_spoolfile = yes' then sidebar will show virtual folders

 * it's possible toggle between virtual and normal folders by a new
   sidebar-toggle command

 * .muttrc example:

	set nm_default_uri="notmuch:///home/kzak/Mail/Maildir"
	set virtual_spoolfile	= yes

	# normal folders
	set mbox_type=Maildir
	set folder="~/Mail/Maildir"
	mailboxes =rh =fedora =misc

	# sidebar
	set sidebar_width	= 35
	set sidebar_visible	= yes
	color sidebar_new yellow default
	bind index <left> sidebar-prev
	bind index <right> sidebar-next
	bind index <space> sidebar-open
	bind index <Esc>S sidebar-toggle     <----------- !

    # virtual folders
	virtual-mailboxes \
	   "INBOX"                "notmuch://?query=tag:inbox and NOT
tag:archive" \
	   "Util-linux"           "notmuch://?query=tag:ul and NOT
tag:archive" \
	   "Bugs"                 "notmuch://?query=tag:bug NOT tag:archive"
\
	   "RH"                   "notmuch://?query=tag:rh and NOT
tag:archive" \
	   "Fedora"               "notmuch://?query=tag:fed and NOT
tag:archive" \
	   "Linux"                "notmuch://?query=tag:lk and NOT
tag:archive"


 .. now we have the best mutt ever ;-)))

I was not able to google a sidebar patch from W.F., but found this
blogpost from 2012-01-08 (ie. not anything 2006-ancient)

http://blog.plenz.com/2012-01/mutt-sidebar-patch-improvements.html

with a good writeup of problems with sidebar implementations and links a
good number of patches to fix those problems. I'll have a look how many
of them are applicable.
