Reduce Clicks User Interface #18

Closed tracyphasespace closed 3 years ago

tracyphasespace commented 4 years ago

Would it be possible to set it so that it defaults to the filter instead of having to select it, so that instead of 3+ clicks Select Drag to Junk Filter Opens Select Filter Click Edit or Cancel (Unsure if Cancel actually cancels remembering the addition of the filter content) Opens edit, click run, click close

Should be: Drag to Junk Click OK

If you are using the filter assistant:

with the merge feature (e.g. to add another sender to a junk list) ...you can at least save a few of the clicks:

Uncheck the option "open filter editor"

Check the options "automatically select merge" and "Skip to template step"

However the step to "chose a template" cannot be omitted. The reason for this is that I cannot store any meta information in Thunderbird's filters so I cannot tell the filter "you have been created with the filter template 'chose by sender'" or anything else useful like this.

And I really do not want to pollute the user interface with a dangerous option such as "always use template x" for any merged filters - I know already that it would lead to a lot of support mail and problems for many users.

I believe the OP had a chance to review my reply (even if they didn't follow up) - so I am closing this issue for now. If you want additional functionality after having tried my suggestions, feel free to reopen this issue!
