Release 5.6.1

Improvements

  • From now on, the update splash screen will not be displayed automatically anymore. Instead, there will be a message on the QuickFolders button which can be clicked once to read the latest news. There is also a new entry "Show Splash screen" on the QuickFolders tools menu.

  • [issue 155] Support entering multiple words in a search string to find longer folder names that are composited, such as "Fred.Flintstone" "Invoices June 2020" "Research+Development". These can now be found by entering the starting letters of the words within the folder name, in any order. e.g. "f f" "2020 inv" "Dev Res". The following characters are regarded as word boundaries and don't need to be typed: _ . - + & @

    This can also be combined with the existing parent folder syntax by entering the parent folder start followed by a forward slash "/", e.g. enter "A/rev a" to match subfolders like "AMO » AMO-Reviews" "Addons » Accepted Revisions".

    Use the new character ">" to skip any folder within the path.

    Use the [?] symbol to the right of the search field to display a help panel.

  • [issue 163] quickMove: folder created while moving is not displayed on top of recent folders menu.
  • [web extension migration] Improved many functions that worked via accessing the "most recent Thunderbird window" and replaced them with event notifications that propagate to every window. This uses the Notification Tool library and the background script (a mechanism of the new API based "mail extensions" model).

    This way all Thunderbird windows (if you work from multiple windows) will be updated correctly when doing one of the following actions. All these now work simultaneously and update in multiple Thunderbird windows:

    • rename a tab
    • move a tab positionto a different position
    • delete a tab or remove it from or add it to a category
    • change the layout of all QuickFolders toolbar elements from the options dialog (themes, colors)
    • rename QuickFolders categories
    • change the theme / buttons of the Current Folder Bar
    • change options of where to display the Current Folder Bar (main window, message tab, single message window)
    • changes to the license when entered / validated
    • unlocking features such as the advanced / tab-specific properties when a license key is entered

Bug Fixes + Miscellaneus

  • [issue 150] Unwanted new line characters "\n" were displayed in some strings in version 5.5.2
  • [web extension migration] Licenser code migrated into background script.
  • Ongoing work of Rewriting code to use APIs instead of Thunderbird's internal functions see [issue 147] for up to date detail.
