Thunderbird 102.3.2
Something has gone wrong with AttachmentExtractor. If this happens regularly please log a bug on the bugtracker on https://gitlab.com/ThunderbirdMailDE/attachment-extractor-continued/issues with the error details shown in Thunderbird's Error Console.
NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_MODIFY_PROP_ON_WN: Cannot modify properties of a WrappedNative
This Add-on was only compatible up to Thunderbird 78 series. From up 91 series and all following version series it is NOT more compatible! Development stopped due to the missing API in Thunderbird. Sorry!

it's a great work of ingenuity - and it works, two minor points: long lists miss a scroll bar and the OK-button is not accessible. I'm sure this will be fixed in due time.
Thank you

I love this addon. It's saved me so much time and aggravation. Unfortunately I just updated to TB 91 and lost use of. I see that it's not planned to be further developed. I understand and just wanted to say Thank You!!

Hi Again,
Another problem is that the mail keep the "attach pieces" flag on, son nearly impossible to filter after that...

Excellent, thank you for continuing AttachmentExtractor these past few years, it's essential to have this feature to unclog Thunderbird from all the old attachments and archive them elsewhere. Was so happy this was updated for TB 68 & 78 and I wish I hadn't updated to 91 yet as alarmed to see 'given up!' - hope TB add the required core changes to make this work again.

Used this add-on on Thunderbird 78. Now I moved to Thunderbird 91 and unfortunatly the Add-on does not work. I hope the issue the developer mentions in this page gets resolved.

I am a user of Attachment Extractor since many years.
My question to Alexander Ihrig is whether the time stamp function of version 1 will be implemented in the Continued versions. If the attachment file carries the same time stamp it is unnecessary to change the file name at all. I think the most important feature of an attachment extractor is to synchronize the time stamp of the file with the time stamp of the email.

Brilliant plugin saving me a lot of time and effort. Using it with TB 78.13. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for re-enabling this life-saver addon.
Thunderbird is great software, but it won't be this good without AttachmentExtractor !
Thanks again.

Hallo Alexander!
Vielen Dank für die Fortführung des Plugins, jedoch musste ich das hier leider sofort wieder deaktivieren, weil es mir meine gesamte Schlagwortliste "ruiniert". Es fügt ein eigenes Schlagwort ein, was ungefragt sehr unschön ist.
Kann man das bitte entfernen oder zumindest unter Option legen?
Danke!
Würdest Du bitte im deutschen Thunderbird Forum ein Thema dazu aufmachen. Oder alternativ einen "Issue" auf GitLab. Ich sehe aber das Problem nicht, denn das Schlagwort wird schon seit mehr als 10 Jahren (schon immer) vom Add-on zur Liste der verfügbaren(!) Schlagwörter hinzugefügt. Es wird ja nicht einfach eines an die Mails hinzugefügt.
Welche Thunderbird-Version und welche Add-on-Version sind denn bei Dir problematisch?

Hi! I updated TB (from 68.*) and AE...
Previously I had tample for filenames:
#date# #subject#\#namepart##count##extpart#
And #date# = Y-m\Y-m-d
And I had folder: 2021-07\2021-07-30 Subject\*****
Now, symbol "\" is replaced by symbol "-". And I have 2021-07-2021-07-30 Subject-*** It's no good.
Please help how to return, that "\" don't replace???
------------
UPD: I did it out on my own. Thanks)
UPD2: file aec_js_attachmentFileMaker.js
aFileName = aFileName.replace(/[\/\\]+/g, "-"); /* / \ = - */
"fix" this xD
The behavior has been reworked to (only) remove slashed out of filenames completely now. The slahes in users filenamepatterns will now "work" again to create subfolders. See my last comment in this issue:

Danke für die Rückmeldung an den Autor.
Ja, das war das Problem. Nun ist alles Super und die volle Sternzahl verdient. :)
Falls Du IMAP verwendest, müssen die Mails für das Offline-Lesen heruntergeladen / synchronisiert sein. Dies kann/muss man in den Konten-Einstellungen bzw. in den Ordner-Eigenschaften festlegen. Ansonsten kann es zu Problemen kommen.

There was a lot of joy to have found Andy's Extractor in those times and the opposite when it did not work any longer - but appreciated your decision - thx Andy for providing it! And NOW - what a (email) life changing rediscovery - thx for picking it up (it just saved me 1.5G and brought me back to email life... ;) !!!!

I think I have found the cause of the problem. It should be in order to report here before moving to gitlab.
My Thunderbird has been set not to sync and download the emails. AEC just extracts and saves the filenames causing them not openable. If the emails are fully synced, the attachments can be fully extracted, saved and opened.
Hope that AEC can handle off-line attachments.

An essential add-on to remove the unwanted inline images from email and reduced storage size.
Great to see this up and running for TB78.
Happy to contribute.
