           Summary: Sieve script manager inside Kmail2 mingles editing and
                    activating scripts.
    Classification: Unclassified

           Version: 4.9.5
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Kmail2 offers an integrated sieve script manager. It works fine, though it is a
little 'raw'... One thing that really needs to be changed: 
'Activating' and 'editing' a script are logically two completely independent
things. Yet the manager mingles both: it is impossible to simply edit a script
without activating it as the default script. That makes little sense and is not
neccessary. 

Instead of the current solution I suggest to separate both aspects: 
- highlighting an entry (a script) should only select it to be able to run one
of the actions offered below. The activation of a script (setting it as
'default' on the server side) should be completely separate. There is
absolutely no reason to connect both aspects. 
- selecting one of the radio buttons in from of the entries should trigger that
second aspect. 

Certainly even now it is possible to get your scripts configured and sorted
out. But looking closer the current solution forces periods where scripts are
active (selected as default) that are not meant to. What for?

Reproducible: Always
