Right, this is currently only available through the menus.

Would a shortcut (like Control+M) also work for you to fix this?

The problem is when you haven't a keyboard (for example with a N800).

I have a patched modest with 'move to folder' button in the toolbar (very
useful for me), it's only four lines added to the code, but I imagine it would
break the UI specification ;)

Argh, I always forget about the N800. I'm very sorry. Need more hardware. ;-)
Want to share that patch here?

Right; I have an N800, so a keyboard shortcut would not work here.

Awesome!  I'd really appreciate having that as well.

Also see bug 2585, which I think might address one of the most common uses of
moving to a folder.

Of course, let me until the weekend, the 14 hours out of home in weekdays
aren't helping me with my hobbies ;)

Josh, I have uploaded a .deb package to Internet Tablet Talk forums, with some
changes as this bug and also bug 2553 and bug 2583. I haven't the link handy
but if you search in ITT for "modest move toolbar" could go out the right
thread.

Created an attachment (id=953) [details]
Move to folder in modest toolbar

Adding the promised patch ;)

It adds the "Move to folder" function to the main window toolbar. It wasn't
very difficult to do, because this option is available in other windows (for
example in the message view window).

The only problem here is perhaps there are too icons in the main window
toolbar, but well for me isn't problem, and I only use the fingers using
modest.

Main window and message window both have 6 buttons, but that's not an argument
to not make this available - file manager has 7.

This won't go in for Diablo (UI frozen), but I'm going to push for Fremantle.

Comment 9 Andre Klapper 2008-10-14 13:22:23 UTC

I was told by Nokia that there's currently no definite answer to this
enhancement for Fremantle because some UI changes are considered.

Hope to be able to update the status here in a few weeks and give you an
answer.

Setting target to Fremantle so I won't forget.

Thanks Andre :)

Time for an update? Are the Modest developers aware of this patch?

At least they were, don't know if they still are. :-)

CC'ing Mox as he told me in October that "there's no definite answer to this
enhancement at the moment".
Should be easier to make a decision about this patch now that some time has
passed.

Comment 13 Mox 2009-01-07 15:25:50 UTC

Hi, my understanding is that there were some Fremantle related UI changes in
Modest which effectively resulted in that there's no toolbar at all for this
situation.

So unfortunately the patch and this bug are not relevant anymore in Fremantle,
sorry.

Comment 14 Quim Gil 2009-01-07 15:55:59 UTC

Resolving as WONTFIX, then.

- The patch won't be taken officially for Diablo. Although since Modest is
moving to open development it could well taken ín a potential community
version.

- According to Mox, the issues that caused this enhancement request are FIXED
in Fremantle through a more radical improvement of the UI. 

Sadly we can't share UI examples at the moment. Feel free to reopen this
request if you still find an issue when the Fremantle Modest is public.

Comment 15 Andre Klapper 2009-05-08 18:49:44 UTC

Adding Stskeeps - patch might be interesting for Mer.

Marking patches of interest to Diablo (Maemo4) community updates, please excuse
the noise.
