From dd5cd6964fe074c79c1850abb82d805bca35a5c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Walters Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 10:54:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] emacs: show: improve handling of mark read tagging errors Previously if a marking read tag change (i.e., removing the unread tag) failed for some reason, such as a locked database, then no more mark read tag changes would be attempted in that buffer. This handles the error more gracefully. There is not much we can do yet about dealing with the error itself, and marking read is probably not important enough to warrant keeping a queue of pending changes or anything. However this commit changes it so that - we do try and make future mark read tag changes. - we display the tag state correctly: i.e. we don't display the tag as deleted (no strike through) - and since we know the tag change failed we can try to mark this message read in the future. Indeed, since the code uses the post-command hook we will try again on the next keypress (unless the user has left the message). We indicate to the user that these mark read tag changes may have failed in the header-line. --- emacs/notmuch-show.el | 13 ++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch-show.el b/emacs/notmuch-show.el index fea39faf..6d3149bf 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch-show.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch-show.el @@ -1701,12 +1701,23 @@ user decision and we should not override it."
