Hi there, Just a normal thunderbird beta update then *poof*, no more quickfolders. The quickfolders toolbar is still there, including the text "Drag folders here.." but all the folders that were there are now gone. Furthermore, new quickfolder cannot be dragged over. Any folder I drag cannot be dropped there. The mouse cursor remains "block". Even if dropped, there is no change. Any idea? Thanks QuickFolder 4.7.1 Thunderbird 57.0b2 32bit
Can you try the attachment at [Bug 26439? There were some fixes related to the new version in there...
Yes! works without a hitch. 4.7.2pre58 solved it. Even brought back my previous quickfolders. Thank you so much. Did not expect such a prompt response not to mention an immediate solution. I don't really need the pro version features to justify an annual pro license, but can I perhaps donate a modest amount via paypal just to say thanks and support the project or something? Thank you again. This sort of friendly approach and care for users by any developer does not go without saying.

The thing is that there were a ton of fundamental changes within Mozilla-Central which break a ton of code. My Thunderbird addons QuickFolders and quickFilters are especially affected because some low level language constructs were changed in a way that fixing them in a "trivial" way would actually completely break Postbox compatibility. So I am at a crossroads as to whether I should support the modern platform and give up on Postbox compatibility (at least until they modernise their woefully outdated JavaScript engine) or fork the code potentially doubling my work load. If you like, by all means donate on my QuickFolders Paypal if you like: http://quickfolders.org/donate.html this is always a welcome boost to my keeping everything in sync. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 26439 ***
