[gpodder-devel] Multiple message boxes

Hello!

Below is a message from a bug report (link below) about how we
currently deal with multiple errors. To my knowledge, GTK doesn't offer
the possibility of having one message box having multiple message (at
least not the stock message box).

Should we go the route of creating a hand-crafted message box that can
deal with multiple messages that can be switched through (like other
apps have done before) or that lists the error messages in a text view
(like GtkPod does)?

What do you think? If possible, please also reply in the bug report
directly so we can capture all ideas there.

Thanks for your input to this issue,
Thomas

2008-09-02 12:44:56 --- The problem today, is that it is very hard to
close all the messageboxes. So, maybe one is good?  Listing the failed,
or marking failed downloads in the list?  I only bring this up because
the boxes must be closed in a strict order and if you have selected
10-15 episodes, then you just go for the kill.
