quickFilters 5.9 won't trigger with mail move; changed nothing

[FireScribeFire]

Since around the end of last week Quick Filters 5.9 has not been triggering when I've moved mail to a new regular folder. It's like it's turned off. (I have it deselected not to trigger when sent to trash or archive.) I didn't make any changes and hadn't upgraded Thunderbird to V102.9.1 until just now, which didn't change the behavior. I'm on Mac V12.6.

Any idea what's going on?

Can you switch on debug mode on advanced and take a glance at the Error console Thunderbird menu = Tools / developer tools / error console (Ctrl+Shift+J)

Configuration:

to capture the error log in digestable to clipboard (please no screenshots for the log, we need text only):

Could be that your folders have faulty flags (e.g. archive flag set), it should tell in the error log.

I just see you have automatic start of assistant mode configured - is the button red (assistant active)? what happens if you switch it off and on manually?

I just see you have automatic start of assistant mode configured - is the button red (assistant active)? what happens if you switch it off and on manually?

I did a quick sanity test this morning, automatic starting appears to work here as well:

you can make sure that the filter mode is active by looking at the label below the menu - it should say End Filter Assistant :

Before you run the test again, please enable the following additional settings (via Debug / right-click). Go to quickFilters settings, advanced page and right-click the debug mode setting.

this will open a special windows with debug settings (stored in about:config)

extensions.quickfilters.debug.assistant = true  
extensions.quickfilters.debug.createFilter = true   
extensions.quickfilters.debug.dnd = true    
extensions.quickfilters.debug.events = true 
extensions.quickfilters.debug.filters = true    
extensions.quickfilters.debug.getSourceFolder = true    
extensions.quickfilters.debug.msgMove = true

You may reset the debug log before you drag / move an email:

The button is not red because my userChrome file makes all my icons the same color and I guess overrides the extension's color changes. When I click it and try to activate the filters, it will not engage.

I'm not sure where to find: extensions.quickfilters.debug.assistant = true
extensions.quickfilters.debug.createFilter = true
extensions.quickfilters.debug.dnd = true
extensions.quickfilters.debug.events = true extensions.quickfilters.debug.filters = true
extensions.quickfilters.debug.getSourceFolder = true
extensions.quickfilters.debug.msgMove = true

I cleared the console and ran the test again. Here are the results. Incidentally, closing and restarting the browser does not get it working and TB's Config Editor says the installed version is 5.8.1, not the 5.9 the extension says it is.

Thanks for trying to help me figure this out. I'd like this to work again. You never know how much you rely on something until it stops working.

The button is not red because my userChrome file makes all my icons the same color and I guess overrides the extension's color changes. When I click it and try to activate the filters, it will not engage.

With the new interface you will see that the submenu changes, from start filters assistant to end filter assistant:

what does it show in your case?

I'm not sure where to find: extensions.quickfilters.debug.assistant = true

Like I said in the quickFilters advanced settings page. You need to right-click the debug mode checkbox:

hmm, that is strange - it is written when the Add-on starts up. Just do another run with the above settings enabled.

[FireScribeFire]

Man. RIGHT click. Ugh. It's been a day. I called it up and didn't change anything. I did change on the Advanced tab the Advanced Templates. Reply-To and custom templates were deselected. Once I selected them and restarted, it began to work again.

I'm not sure why it was fine and then wasn't when I hadn't been in any settings, even for TB, but it's working and that's all that matters. Thank you very much. Unless there is anything else you want to check, I'd consider this issue resolved.

hmm, that is a strange one - I wonder if there is some intialisation error on the assistant that is connected to Custom templates. Did you create Custom filter templates before? One thing I can imagine (maybe) that qF remembered the last (custom) template and tries to select it. I might have to add some additional error log entries in another trial version to test this, haven't looked at this part of code in a while.

[FireScribeFire]

I've never created custom templates and I rarely mess with the filter settings. I predominantly use it to set filters when moving mail. The last thing I did in settings was in February when I changed it to stop triggering the filter assist when moving mail to trash and archives.
