5.10.2 - Published 07/07/2022

Maintenance Version 5.10.2 - 07/07/2022

[issue 281] 5.10.2 - this maintenance version will be able to reconstruct tabs after upgrading from Thunderbird 91 to 102 even if the server and username have been modified due to bug 1573690. To successfully reconstruct (and avoiding invalid tabs) is only possible if 5.10.1 was previously run on an older profile (Thunderbird 91 or older)

If you already upgraded to Thunderbird 102 previously and experience invalid tabs, you can now generate troubleshooting information via right-click QuickFolders Commands / Tab Specific Properties... This will copy the assumed account and the (invalid) folder URI to the clipboard.

For reference you can click on any real folder in the folder tree and then SHIFT+Click on the QuickFolders tool icon, then select Debug / Copy current folder info! This will copy the account and correct expected URI to the clipboard. By comparison of these data points it I can fix your folders through exporting the folder configuration and then text search+replace the differing URIs (or by simply inserting the correct account)

Fixed the missing [close x] icon on the advanced tab properties panel, which is hidden by style changes in Thunderbird 102.

Fixed icon coloring for the tools and QuickFolders Command menus in dark mode (Thunderbird 102).

Maintenance Version 5.10.1 - 05/07/2022

• [issue 281] 5.10.1 - this maintenance fix stores the account id for every tab - only works in Thunderbird 91 or older (before Tb102 patches user prefs).

  When upgrading to Thunderbird 102, this can potentially rename the servers due to bug 1573690 - then the account can be used for reconstruction of invalid folders. I am currently working on code that can help in fixing this problem automatically.

• Fixed icon spacings in folder popup menus in Tb102.

Thunderbird 102 Specific changes

Known Issue:
• [issue 281] Updating to Thunderbird 102 can generate invalid tabs - make sure to backup prefs.js before updating in order to correct this problem more easily. Some accounts in your profile may be affected, so it is a good idea to mitigate this problem.
• Increasing maximum TB version for next ESR - Thunderbird 102.* is planned to be supported from now on. Also increased minimum version to 91.0 - because of new APIs 78 will not be supported with new features / bugfixes.
• Fixed repair folder code.
• Fixed support site links in Options Dialog.
• [issue 272] Implemented new folder listener interface. The new version of Thunderbird implements a different folder listener interface. This meant a lot of functions (such as updating URLs when renaming folders and updating their connected tabs or updating unread counts on the tabs) were broken.

Improvements

• [issue 263] If Preferences are open in inactive Tab, clicking the options button now activates it.
• Added title to preferences tab.

Bug Fixes

• [issue 265] Reading list: If an email cannot be found due to an invalid / deleted folder, QuickFolders wasn't displaying the search dialog.
• [issue 262] Fixed: Recent folders on Navigation Bar (Current folder toolbar) outdated when dragging emails
• Fixed: support mail to... description in options dialog
• [issue 268] Fixed: Current Folder Bar" doesn't show updated subfolders when left-clicked

Miscellaneous

• Removed legacy settings dialog and associated menu item
• Removed legacy code (supportsMap, nsIMutableArray, MailServices.copy.CopyFolders)

Improvments

Simplified recent folders menu behavior for keyboard navigation.

[issue 254] The new "=" key of quickMove/quickJump shows an arrow to visit child folders which means that the folder itself cannot be opened with keyboard only (by pressing the enter key), which forced the user to use the mouse, impeding the workflow.

I have decided to instead not show subfolders for these recent folders as it doesn't add much value for what essentially should be a repeat operation. I have also extended this to the other recent folders menus (e.g. on the recent folders tab).

The old behavior (of showing subfolders) can still be restores by setting the config setting extensions.quickfolders.recentfolders.subfolders = true

[issue 252] Fixed: Tabs with invalid folder address can break search results. This can happen if you exclude accounts from the search after recreating a profile with different spelling.

[issue 255] Fixed: CTRL Right-clicking on the active folder can create multiple instances of the folder commands submenu.

5.9 - Published 30/03/2022

Improvements

• [issue 241] using quickJump / quickMove via shortcut - hitting Enter will now always select the last successful location (even when the name is ambiguous) and not the top item of the menu. To use the first item of the menu using Enter the menu hast to be visible - either by starting to type or pressing arrow-down.
• [issue 242] Use `=` key for folders from recent quickMove / quickJump operations

  When using the quickMove or quickJump search box you can now access folders of its previous jump / move operations by typing "=" as the first character.

• [issue 236] Convert options dialog to pure HTML. Amon other things, this fixes the color pickers that have stopped working on Mac. Long term, all Dialogs and User Interfaces need to be converted to HTML to become future proof and pure API based. There are still things that cannot be done with HTML right now (such as folder dropdowns that aren't cut off at the toolbar borders), so this is an ongoing effort for the predictable future.

Bug Fixes

• [issue 232] Fixed: When Adding a category to a tab, another category may be replaced
• [issue 235] Fixed: quickJump may fail if "Compact mode" in folder tree is enabled.
• [issue 220] Fixed an issue with license validation (alias identity support).
• Fixed "change order" dialog.

5.8.3 - Published 3/Nov/2021

Maintenance Release 5.8.3

• Fixed in page links for users with licenses! Before licensed users were directed to the top of a page instead of the correct location (such as the feature comparison list or current version info)
• Improved speed of license validator for Thunderbird 91.2 and later.
• Improved readability for menu items on (license-) restricted tabs.

Maintenance Release 5.8.2

• [issue 5] Long folders menus now scroll when dragging mails to screen edge.

Improvements (5.8.1)

• [issue 205] When clicking "get Messages" from any tab, QuickFolders used to also jump into the folder. This behavior is actually not desired, as you may have filter rules defined which remove mail from the Inbox so jumping into the Inbox is not useful when new mail is downloaded.
• [issue 191] Support large icon in QuickFolders toolbar buttons for high resolution displays.

Bug Fixes + Miscellaneus (5.8.1)

• [issue 211] Fixed: move Folders in quickMove fails in Thunderbird 91. You can now again drag (multiple) folders from the tree to the quickMove button in order to relocate them. Or use the Shortcut Shift+M if you have a QuickFolders Pro license.
• [issue 203] Fixed: When the quickFilters Add-on activates its assistant, all icons on left to the tabs on the QuickFolders toolbar turned white.
• [issue 209] Fixed: Tabs in Options Dialog become illegible in Thunderbird 91 when using dark themes with bright text.
• Fixed: In Thunderbird 91, background area behind current folder toolbar does not show correct background color from lightweight theme, even when lightweight support is enabled.
• Fixed: The History Tab was not displayed anymore when updating QuickFolders.

Known unresolved issues - W.I.P.

• [issue 204] WIP - Thunderbird 91: Background of QuickFolders toolbar doesn't support some themes when set to transparent.
• [issue 208] Upgrade from TB 78 to 91.1.2 sometimes leads to invalid / "orphaned" tabs. For the moment, you should be able to resolve these by clicking a tab with the "broom" / invalid icon or by running the tool command "Find Orphaned tabs".

  Should this not give the desired results, then you can export your tabs via the license tab or on the Advanced tab using the [Copy Tabs] button and send me the file so I can help you fix this.
