sup talk - May 2008 - Flat-view anyone ?

I mentionned that idea a while back on that ml, but had no feedback, so,
here I go again.

How hard would that be to implement a flat view for thread, instead of
the tree view ? I agree that the tree makes more sense but I sometimes
miss the chronological order shown by gmail.

I read a bit through the code, and understood that thread are actually
stored as tree, would that make a flat view hard to provide ?

I''m not a ruby coder, but if it''s easy to do, I''d be
glad to provide a
patch (but it''s always nice if I can get the work done by someone else
;-) ).

regards

Not trivial but not ridiculously hard. I would add an each_by_date
method to Thread, and have ThreadViewMode call that instead of
Thread#each based on some configuration variable.

I''ve added this to ditz:
