Not working in Thunderbird 68.0 #86

Closed DavidBE-UK closed 5 years ago

DavidBE-UK commented 5 years ago

The extension is not working in Thunderbird 68.0 (now the available version to download from the Thunderbird site, now, though not yet being pushed to users as an update - I gather in part because many extensions don't yet work in it). The add-ons manager in TB disables it as it is 'incompatible with Thunderbird 68.0'.

Same here.

sHAsHiLx commented 5 years ago

Yes, please update it to support latest stable release. Thanks!

schneeschmelze commented 5 years ago

+1. :(

Is there any chance to get the add-on into Thunderbird core?

serenitatis commented 5 years ago

Same for me =(

Here you go...

https://github.com/Ximi1970/Manually-Sort-Folders/releases/tag/v2.0.0pre1

Merge request is submitted

DavidBE-UK commented 5 years ago

That's great and restores the function, so thanks. But ....

It only appears in the Menu Bar tools menu. I, like a lot of users, don't have the menu bar displaying, and use the Application Menu aka the 'hamburger menu', which is the default, I think. And especially now with 68.0 it is now a regular 'hamburger menu', not like the previous weird one. This extension should really also appear in the Application/hamburger menu Tools sub-menu (or the View sub-menu, perhaps).

With this extension only in the Menu Bar Tools menu, and the menu bar not displaying by default, I think a lot of users who install this may just think the extension is broken when they don't find it in the application/hamburger menu.

FWIW: in Thunderbird 68, you can open the old menu by pressing F10 and from there Tools -> Manually sort folders.

Ximi1970 link v2.0.0pre1 can be installed by dragging, but the account field is left blank. Therefore, it cannot be used. The close button does not move either.

And just pressing Alt shows the Menu Bar. But (a) I rarely use (or remember) keyboard shortcuts, and (b) as an extension usually only used occasionally, the thing is having to remember that it can't be accessed by 'normal' means, e.g. the Application menu where one expects to find things. I'm liable to remember only after a futile search in the Application menu.

Actually, one logical place a user might expect to find it is in the Folder Pane right-click context menu ... which extensions clearly can add themselves to as the ImportExportTools NG extension has added itself there.

Hi, same problem here. I installed the Ximi1970 fix (thank you Ximi1970) but seems I can't place Local Folders on top (so basically now it is just a wrapper for the about:config order variables). I mainly use manually-sort-folders to put Local Folders before all accounts, at first, but seems this is not working now. Any idea?

ghost commented 5 years ago

Hi, I'm really thankful that the Manually Sort Folders was developed. Obviously, some add-ons have stopped since the last update of Thunderbird. Including Manually Sort Folders. Me and certainly many other users would be grateful if you can make the AddOn fit again for the current Thunderbird version. Thanks!

@Ximi1970 that prerelease isn't working for me. All inputs are blank in the manually sort folders window

tooomm commented 5 years ago

I saw a lot of extensions having their settings placed in "Hamburger Menu --> Add-ons --> name of extension"

Maybe that could be a place to put the options and config window, too.

protz commented 5 years ago

I took in @Ximi1970's pull request and fixed a couple more things, since I had the same symptoms as @jpmorris.

For the placement of the "manually sort folders" menu entry, I'll gladly take a pull request.

For the issue regarding Local Folders as default, the best I can suggest is filing a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org and adding :protz in the CC field so that I can keep an eye on it.

Thanks for everyone's patience -- the new version should be approved shortly and in the meanwhile you can download https://jonathan.protzenko.fr/manually-sort-folders/manually-sort-folders-201909221547.xpi and hit Tools > Add-ons > (cog menu) Install add-on from file.

Cheers,

Jonathan
