Unable To Import Profile

[taffod]

System Info:

UBUNTU 18.04 Thunderbird 68.10.0 (64-bit) I can export a complete profile, but when I try to import it on another machine, I get as far as a pop up screen that looks like it is going to work: (attached screenshot) But, it is impossible to press the next button (or the cancel) either by mouse, or N or Ctl N or alt N, or Enter. This used to work well, I imagine it is just a temporary glitch?

Same goes with Ubuntu 20.04.

@taffod thanks for the post, sorry for the issue let me try my Mint VM what version of the extension are you using? Christopher

[taffod]

Thanks for the fast response. Version number is 10.0.4 dated 10 Dec 20 Sorry for not including before. Mike

Also,

Just tried retro fitting V10.0.0 . No change sadly

@taffod on my mint VM which is a 19x system I was successful this was the same system not a different one did you ever try that on your original system Also I have heard of issues concerning 20x with Thunderbird for the record can you tell me when the last time it worked? last question, does your dialogue look like mine below?

I am having this exact same issue as described. After the browse file/name profile dialogue pops up, I have to force kill Thunderbird if I want to get out of it.

System Info: Export Machine: Ubuntu 18.04 Import Machine: Linux Mint 20.1 Both machines using: Thunderbird 68.10.0 (64-bit) and most recent ImportExportToolsNG

@jonzdev did you see my comments above? can you port the profile on the original 18 system? my 19 is okay, I am wondering about 20 Christopher

@cleidigh

Attached a screen shot. yes, my dialogue box looks like yours. It will tell me if I select (via Browse) an invalid profile directory, and only seems t enable the 'next' box after completing the 'name' box. However, the next r cancel buttons wont accept a 'press'. Yes I have tried reporting to the same 20.04 system. Same symptoms. Will try shortly on an old 18.04 system, which is the last time I seem to remember it working.

Update. On Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS.

Symptoms identical with TB 68.10.0 (64-bit) and latest version of addon.

No change - doesn't work. Retrofitted addon back as far as 10.0 No change. Retrofitted addon to V 4.1.0. It works! haven't tried this on UBUNTU 20 yet.

Hope this helps.

[taffod]

Same with UBUNTU 20.04.

If I retro fit your addon V 4.1.0, it works well.

All later versions display the symptoms as listed above.

@taffod I was also able to setup a 20.1 system however more importantly I can reproduce the problem and I know the issue. the custom wizard element had some changes that cause the problem in at least 68.10 and 68.12 I believe regardless of OS ironically it works on 78.x I am already close to a a HTML replacement I can probably post a beta today but probably rough. I have fixed sufficiently already know it will work. I will alert here when I post Christopher

@taffod @jonzdev I believe I have the functionality reproduced, needs some layout feedback welcome Christopher

update: first layout fixes https://github.com/thundernest/import-export-tools-ng/blob/v10.0.5/xpi/import-export-tools-ng-10.0.5-b2-tb.xpi

[cleidigh]

anybody have a chance to test?

[jonzdev]

@cleidigh Just tested on the same system configurations. It worked without further issues. Thank you!

[taffod]

It works perfectly on 18.04. Thank you. Not tried in 20.04 yet.

[cleidigh]

thanks guys! I'm dealing with some 4 button localization stupidities as soon as I solve that I should be able to release Christopher
