Make QuickFolders compatible with the current Thunderbird beta (67.0b2) in order to prepare for the next ESR release in October 2019. FOr back-porting, I created a new GitHub branch at https://github.com/RealRaven2000/quickFilters/tree/Tb-52 To Do: Use new preferences system. (See https://developer.thunderbird.net/add-ons/upgrading-add-ons-for-tb68/list-of-changes-in-thunderbird-core#less-than-prefwindow-greater-than-less-than-prefpane-greater-than-less-than-preferences-greater-than-and-less-than-preference-greater-than) Replace prefwindows with dialogs Replace groupbox elements with html fieldsets Replace colorpicker elements with HTML input type color Replace AddonManager (which is now a promise)
Github branch correction - for QuickFolders, this obviously needs to be: https://github.com/RealRaven2000/QuickFolders/tree/Tb-52
Created an attachment (id=8621) [details] 4.15 prerelease 30 This version has been tested on Thunderbird 66.0b3 and 67.0b2 - there may be some minor hang-ups in the options dialog not storing all values, please test thoroughly. Especially any textboxes/pixel values should be scrutinized. known issue: restoring tabs from the clipboard using the "Copy Tabs" feature on "Advanced Options" tab doesn't work yet. Other than that, we're looking pretty good. I tried my best to support lightweight themes in the "Bling my Tabs" preview areas so you can get a good feel for what your color choices may look like.
Created an attachment (id=8622) [details] 4.15 prerelease 56 Improved options dialog added lightweight image preview in options lightweight theming for current folder toolbar Increased max version to Thunderbird 68 note: this version has no Asian locales (zh / ja / vi) due to an attachment size limit on mozdev.org. All other locales will work. To do: replace numerical textboxes with HTML elements
There is a way to make a hybrid Add-on that has both install.rdf and thus can be accepted by Thunderbird 60 (or even older versions) and manifest.json for the new web-extension format; I am planning to adopt this in the next version 4.15 for QuickFolders.
Created an attachment (id=8629) [details] 4.15.1 prerelease 38 The latest version of Tb daily 69 crashes because it doesn't like document.createElement in a XUL document; so this version replaces the functions with createXULElement for now.

Resolving Fixed with release 4.15.3 on 17/06/2019 this version is compatible with Thunderbird 68.0 beta 1 (the current version for 68)
