           Summary: Rename attachments when saving all
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Slackware Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: enine ninefamily com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:                Linux

When saving attachments if a file with the same name already exists a dailog is \
presented asking to overwrite it or not for each duplicate name.  When saving \
individual a normal save as dialog is presented allowing renaming of the file before \
saving.  Can the same dialog be shown for each file during the save all instead of \
the overwrite/cancel options now. Example, I received 4 e-mails from my brother with \
pictures attached from our grandfathers funeral.  He uses Windows which has a badly \
designed interface for getting pictures from digital cameras where each time you plug \
in the camera or memory card Windows creates a new folder and names all the pictures \
in the folder "picture 001", "picture 002", etc starting over with "picture 001" in \
each folder.  My brother sent me 4 e-mails with 20-25 pictures each and I saved all \
to a folder then attempted to save all from the second e-mail and had to cancel 20 \
times when all 20 pictures were the same name.  So then had to create 4 new folders \
to save those pictures in so I could save all each time or save each picture one at a \
time so I could rename them.   This was a large amount of duplicate names so it was a \
worst case situation, but if there were several attachments in a message and only one \
or two were duplicates and you cancelled out of the save all dialog when it hit the \
duplicate then you would have to remember and find the duplicate so you could save \
and rename it.  If the rename dialog were there instead of simply the \
overwrite/cancel it would be easier. _______________________________________________
