QuickFolders (Tabbed Folders) Version History

147 versions

Be careful with old versions!

These versions are displayed for reference and testing purposes. You should always use the latest version of an add-on.

Version 5.5.1 993.1 KiB Works with Thunderbird 78.0 - 78.*

Release 5.5.1
  • In order to maintain full functionality, this Add-on had to be rewritten as a mail extension with experiment API, which will require full permissions on installation. As regards being allowed to do stuff, it is actually not different with any classic Add-on: they always had full access to all functions within Thunderbird. The modern mail extensions will have much more tightly managed permissions - eventually QuickFolders will also be able use this more modern approach - but the APIs for this have to be created and accepted by Mozilla first. This means a lot of ongoing work for the next 12 months forward - please support this with a license or donation:
  • You can buy a license here. This is the preferred way of funding all the ongoing work and improvements.
  • If you are not ready for a license you can also donate from here

Fixes in 5.5.1
  • Version 5.5.1 Hotfix: [issue 144] Fixed: Mark folders + subfolders read stops at first generation (direct child folder) mails and potentially may have affected parent folders, too.
  • Version 5.5.1 - Fixed: The tool menu item "Change the order of tabs" did not update the toolbar after clicking Ok. To make changes visible one had to click "Refrehs Visible tabs"
  • 5.5.1: Rewrote the legacy style localization to use the modern method which is a prerequisite for converting the Add-on to a "mail extension" in the future.
  • Version 5.5.1: Completed Hungarian, Simplified Chinese and Catalan locales.
    • Improvements
    • [issue 136] Fixed: There were no folder suggestions during quickJump / quickMove while viewing mails in a virtual folder view (such as search results / or after open message in conversation). This was a side effect of changes from [issue 57].
    • [issue 135] quickMove / quickJump: When using "/" for parent folders searching for substrings should work better... The Search algorithm now recognizes Underscore _ and Space within folder names so that parent folders with prefixes such as "01_test" can still be found without knowing the number (type "test\subfoldername" to get
      a match in this example).
    • [issue 132] In a single message tab, quickMove used to redisplay the mail after moving it with quickMove.
      This behavior has now been changed on request to go to the next email instead. If necessary, this new behavior can be changed in via the advanced search settings button in the Single Message Tab box on the QF Pro settings tab.
    • [issue 134] Feature Request: Escape key to "Cancel quickMove" completely. Before this change, Cancel would hide the search box but keep the list of mails queued to be moved so that more items could be added later. If necessary, the old behavior can be restored in the Advanced search settings dialog.
    • Changed folder tree shortcut from F7 to F9 (consistent with Thunderbird 68). Push F0 to make the folder tree visible or quickly hide it.
    • Increased maximum subfolders in a dropdown menu from 100 to 250.
    • [issue 140] Fixed: Restriction to current server unexpectedly suggests creating new subfolder.

Version 4.21.3 965.4 KiB Works with Thunderbird 60.0 - 69.0

Release 4.21.3

This release backports some of the fixes that were also done in the new version for Thunderbird 78. If you want to get the latest features, I highly recommend updating Thunderbird to the current 78 release version.
To support QuickFolders, buy a license or donate to support the project.

Bug Fixes

  • [issue 144] Mark folders + subfolders read stops at first generation (direct child folder) mails

  • [issue 145] Thunderbird 60 users only - QuickFolders always offers update to 4.21.2 - this is due to a faulty version number in the deprecated file install.rdf (which isn't used by Thunderbird 66 - 91 anymore).
  • I am working on making QuickFolders compatible with Thunderbird 91, which is planned for release in summer 2021. There is a lot of rewriting going on in the background in order to replace internal functionality with the new API model. If you still ust THunderbird 68 or older, consider at least switching to Thunderbird 78 to get the latest version of QuickFolders.

Improvements
  • [issue 117] Added color picker for text color in tab-specific properties.
  • [issue 132] In a single message tab, quickMove used to redisplay the mail after moving it with quickMove.

    <tt>extensions.quickfolders.quickMove.reopenMsgTabAfterMove</tt>
    <tt>extensions.quickfolders.quickMove.gotoNextUnreadAfterMove</tt>

    4.21.2 has some additional fixes to better cover the case of returning to the original tab (folder) after closing the current message tab (with `gotoNextUnreadAfterMove=false`)
  • QuickFolders Settings, now makes sure that correct options tab is opened / remembered

Bug Fixes

Fixed Thunderbird 78 Regressions
  • [issue 106] Backup function does not save general / advanced / layout settings.
  • [issue 108] Some changes in options window are ignored and not stored. Settings that could not be changed from the options screen:
    - Premium / quick move display format
    - General / Message Navigation / Go to next unread mail.

    Also, many layout settings were not updating immediately through the User Interface, because of broken instant apply settings.
  • Fixed highlighting of drop targets when dragging mails into a subfolder.
  • [issue 111] Paint Mode stopped working in Thunderbird 78. You can now use Paint Mode again from the QuickFolders tools menu to change the colors of multiple tabs. (For best results use the flat style theme).

    Activate paint mode, then select a color from the palette and click on the tabs you want to change:

    The colors displayed depend on the selected "Palette for Colored Tabs" which is a global setting and offers 3 choices (Standard, Pastel and Night Vision for dark themes).
  • [issue 101] If multiple categories are selected, closing QuickFolders settings reverts to "Show All".
  • [issue 88] Fixed highlighting of drop targets when dragging mails into a subfolder.

Improvements
  • [issue 82] Improved sorting of search results during quickMove / quickJump.
  • [issue 109] Menu item Mark Messages read in Folder + subfolders not displayed as expected - it was only shown if the folder of the tab didn't have unread emails itself. This additional menu item that can be used to set subfolders read was only displayed if the actual folder of the tab itself had no unread emails, and only child folders had them. Configure this command in QuickFolders settings / Advanced / Menu Configuration / Mail Commands
  • [issue 37] When no match is found using the "/" in quickMove box, display "No matching parent folders!" instead of "..."

Other Bug Fixes
  • [issue 101] If multiple categories are selected, closing QuickFolders settings reverts to "Show All".
  • [issue 107] Restoring general / layout Settings only works if option for restoring folders also active.
  • [issue 110] "Tab-specific Properties" overwrites To Address when clicking Write from Address Book.
  • [issue 112] Reading List menu - Add current Item not working.
  • [issue 114] Make QuickFolders compatible with Thunderbird beta 86.0b3
    - Removed grids from options screen to support Thunderbird 86 and higher. Without the fix, the dialog was displayed to wide and items on the support tab did not render correctly.
    - Using renamed function FtvItem for creating Recent folders list.

  • [issue 94] - Tb78: Tab-specific properties displayed in incorrect screen position.
  • [issue 75] Support moving folders via quickMove button. You can now move one or multiple folders by dragging them from the tree to the quickMove button or hitting Shift+M (with a Pro License) while the folder tree is highlighted. Up until now, you could only move folders by holding Shift and dragging to a QuickFolders tab.
  • [issue 96] Drag'n'drop issue in Thunderbird 85 beta. Although I fixed this particular issue I make no guarantees for any functionality if you are using beta versions. I can only support the current ESR version Thunderbird 78.1 - 78.* fully.
  • [issue 23] Fixed: quickMove aborts with "Nothing to do: Message is already in folder" if the first mail in the selection is already in target folder. This may happen if you drag mails from a multi-folder view such as a search results window. It can also happen if you execute the quickMove command after a while and you (or a filter) have moved some of the mails to the target folder already.

Changes / Items worked
  • Removed backwards compatible (shim) code and all code implementing cross-compatibiliy for SeaMonkey and Postbox. The code base had to be forked into a new branch, so if I backport bugfixes this will double my work for the legacy Thunderbird users.
  • [issue 35] "Skip Unread Folder" hides "Add star" function... the Shortcut for skipping unread folders works even without pressing the Shift key
  • New icon layout base on the new Photon Design System for Thunderbird. The fantastic new Icon conversion was kindly done by Richard Paenglab
  • Removed nsIRDFService dependencies
  • rewrote preference bindings in all dialogs
  • rewrote search algorithm for missing mails in reading list - clicking on a missing mail there brings up a search dialog. Unfortunately this was not populated with meaningful search conditions
  • Klaus Buecher (@Opto) did the initial conversion of all XUL interface and fixed some bugs. John Bieling (from the Thunderbird team) helped with the WindowLoader implementation and fixing the broken preferences. Many thanks to both of themn for their fantastic work!

Known issues
  • Any dragover styling (special color, dropmarkers when moving tabs around) is currently broken - this is caused by an experimental style selector which has been now removed by Mozilla due to little take-up of the HTML community. We will need to recode these parts using JavaScript.

Version 4.18.1 964.8 KiB Works with Thunderbird 60.0 - 69.0

  • I have paid a developer to migrate all my Add-on support sites away from the free host on mozdev.org, which shall close operation within weeks. To keep having support sites and ongoing development, please buy a license (the migration has cost around $650 so far, which I hope to recover from the user community).

    I am also starting to rewrite all mail Add-ons as web extensions, which is currently not yet possible as all necessary APIs to replace the deprecated tech has not been implemented.

  • IMPROVEMENT IN 4.18:[issue 27] Drag to Create New Subfolders from tab could create unexpected results, if the entered folder name contained spaces. The space (and possibly other non-ASCII characters, such as Umlauts / diacritics), would be url encoded (Space = %20) and could lead to failure of moving the mail or duplicated folders or non-working QuickFolders tabs.

    This problem was reported during the thunderbird 68.* release cycle so the fix may affect older versions of Thunderbird negatively. For user of older Thunderbird versions the behavior can be reverted by using the configuration setting: extensions.quickfolders.newFolderCallback.encodeURI = true
  • FIXED IN 4.18.1:<br>[issue 34] Option to make QuickFolders appear at the Bottom of Other Toolbars

    The new setting Advanced / QuickFolders Bar Position can be used to change the order of toolbars to push the QuickFolders bar further up / down in case other 3rd party toolbars are used. Set to 0 to have the toolbar at the top, 100 should work to push it below all other toolbars.

    The default is now set to make QuickFolders appear at the bottom of the mail tools again.

  • I am currently paying somebody to migrate all my Add-on support sites away from the free host on mozdev.org, which is going to close operation end of June.

Version 4.17.5 Maintenance Version
  • [issue 18] Allow single-key keyboard shortcuts for Navigation.
  • [issue 3] Mark messages READ in folder and all its subfolders tree "in one click".

Version 4.17.4 Maintenance Version
  • Added Alt + [Up] as possible navigation shortcut to go to parent folder.
  • Extended Alt + [Left] and Alt + [Right] shortcuts to go to the next sibling folder if no QuickFolders tab is selected. If a visible QuickFolders tab is selected, then the next tab will be activated, as before - for these features the corresponding Keyboard Shortcuts choice on the QF General Options tab has to be activated.
  • Sometimes the current folder bar shows an incorrect subfolder menu (from a previously visited folder) - fixed by forcing it to rebuild every time a different folder is visited.
  • Removed unnecessary error console warning from simplified setElementStyle() function.


Version 4.17.3 Maintenance Version
  • [issue 14] Gray area shown below email list when starting Thunderbird in wide view with Current Folder Toolbar hidden.
  • [issue 15] Current Folder Bar background styling is ignored in Thunderbird 68

  • Improved label color for Renewal button
  • Completed translations for Spanish, French, Polish, Brazilian, Russian and Swedish users. If you have any suggestions for improvements please contact support or join the official translators team on Babelzilla


Version 4.17.2 Maintenance Version
  • [Issue 13] Thunderbird 68 regression: Cannot modify From and To addresses using Advanced Tab Properties.

Version 4.17.1 Maintenance Version
  • [Issue 11] Thunderbird 60 regression: in 4.17 - No results are shown in quickJump / quickMove when typing in Thunderbird 60.9; this s a regression caused by moving the search panel to a separate xul file (necessary for compatibility with Thunderbird 70, where search boxes are replaced by an new XUL element).
  • [Issue 9] Thunderbird 68 regression: when the shortcuts combinations SHIFT+S, SHIFT+M, SHIFT+J are used in the quick filter search field, they are accidentally executed and do not enter as uppercase letters in the search box as expected. This is caused by some input types have changed in Thunderbird 68 following deprecation of XUL elements.


Version 4.17 Release
  • [Bug 26703] Added option to hide mail commands popup menu. If acive, the QuickFolders commands menuy will only be shown when CTRL is pressed while clicking the tab.
  • [issue 7] Fixed: font color in striped mode ignored on colored tabs
  • [Bug 26683] Advanced tab property - Option to set dragged / moved emails to UNREAD.

Thunderbird 68 specific Fixes
  • Fixed: number fields are displayed too wide and with unnecessary paddings which may lead to legibility issues after preferences.css had to he removed.
  • [issue 8] in Thunderbird 70, the label is removed on right-clicking a tab. Also, the quickJump and quickMove functions stopped working.

    I highly recommend using the current release version Thunderbird 68.* and not a beta version on your daily mail profile as there will be many breaking changes in the next months. If you want to use beta versions, make sure to use a test profile and regularly back up your mail to avoid data loss.
  • The filter template dialog isn't shown properly in Thunderbird 68 - generally I would recommend to install the quickFilters Add-on instead, as it has more advanced functions for managing and creating mail filters.

  • Improved the behavior of the "Find orphaned Tabs" command. This now includes an option to reuse the answer (delete remaining faulty tabs - Yes / No) rather than clicking once for each invalid tab.
  • [Bug 26658] More ongoing changes to make compatible with latest Thundeerbird versions:

    • ongoing changes to preferences in dialog system. Lots of moving parts here, so please test rigorously if you are using a "bleeding edge" version of Thunderbird
    • removed all instances of nsIPrefService.getCharPref(..)
    • known issue - in Thunderbird 69 the labels of the Tabs vanish when right-clicked. I will fix as soon as I knwo that it's a deprecation cause by XUL changes and not a regression in Thunderbird.

    Made QuickFolders compatible with Thunderbird 68 - part of the ongoing effort to future proof QuickFolders for 2020. For now, this also means making the minimum requirement using Thunderbird version 60.
  • Added lightweight theme support for current folder bar.

    For best result, select the "lighweight" option on the background dropdown on the Advanced tab. I also slimmed down the layout for retrieving some added vertical space. You can further tweak ergonomics of the central navigation panel by decreasing the "Left Spacer" value.
  • [Bug 26659] Advanced Tab Props - falsely always applies to subfolders.

  • Prepared code base for compatibility with Thunderbird 66 - this will be released as a separate version because it is currently impossible to release a version that is compatible with Thunderbird 60.
  • Replaced color pickers with HTML elements - these call the System Specific color pickers of your operating system.

I am planning to release a first tryout version of QuickFolders for Thunderbird 64-66 in the beginning of May; it will likely have the same feature set as the current verision (4.14.1) - I am also working on converting my other Add-ons, quickFilters and SmartTemplate⁴.

    When a folder is moved from one tree location to another in a synchronised IMAP account, the folder location (URL) is not updated in the QuickFolders Tab pointing to the moved folder.
