[PATCH 0/8] SymbolView: Be a little smarter and avoid cpu last

[loh.tar]

Hello Kåre, thanks for your quite ample reply and the special treatment :-)

Can I assume, as long no one says "nope", it mean "feel free to go on"? Because 
some the points you have left without comment.

>> To the plugin name "Symbol View" I have no image, no clue why it is named
>> this way, but maybe can someone give me a hint.
>I guess it comes from the fact that it shows the "symbols" of the source file. 

Thanks, but sorry. I have still no clue why is some code part a "symbol", but 
my English is of course not the best. A symbol is a sign or an icon in my image.

>"Structure" is not the best alternative if the user enables sorting.

Sure. No other suggestion? How about "Parts" then, without re-labeling? Short 
for "Document Parts"

There is no doubt it would be better, but is it possible? I haven't take a look 
there.

>The plugin seems to have worked good enough for the current users...

oh, I'm not a new user and this plugin is one of my favorites. But I was all the 
years unhappy with some of its misbehavior or lack of functionality.

The itching is intense :-/

Thanks, Lothar

PS: 

> Sorry that my reply to Christoph goes to the wrong place.

Your post is also not inserted at the correct thread post, just as mine to 
Christoph. But my last looks good. So my edit helped. Do you use also mutt? Or 
is there maybe some bug/misconfig in these mailman?
