Improvements
- Continued work on find related mail feature by adding a page in QuickFolders settings.
Retrieve related mails in a folder through pattern matching on the currently selected mail. [issue 488]
This works via a search mask (regular expression) that can read parts of the email and then set
a user defined quick search condition. I added a feature that resets the search when pressing
the Goto Next (unread) Email on the Navigation bar (current folder bar)
- Added an option to reset quick filter when clicking "Move to next mail" [issue 494]
- Added icon to menuitem that gets messages.
- The API issue with Owl accounts not working for license validation has been resolved by Thunderbird 128.2
- Compatible with Thunderbird 134.*
Bug Fixes
- Fixed: Move mail to folder using CTRL+Number not working. [issue 493]
- Fixed: Keyboard Shortcut conflict with the 'QNote' extension - quickMove / quickJump triggered unintendedly. [issue 497]
- Fixed: Folder names containing single quotes break navigation.[issue 506]
- Fixed in v6.8.1: Notification boxes are broken after Thunderbird 128 [issue 509]

Improvements
-
New QuickFolders Pro feature: find related mails through pattern matching the currently selected mail. [issue 488]
This works via a pattern search which is applied to fields of the currently selected email via a search mask (regular expression).
-
Added an option to hide the 'skip unread folder' button from the Navigation Toolbar.
- Improved tooltips in settings window.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed: in Thunderbird 128 the notification popup for restricted features leads to an exception and may lead to failure of some features on systems without a Pro license. [issue 486]
- Fixed: Keyboard shortcuts (such as ALT+Left ALT+Right) stopped working in Thunderbird 128. [issue 491]
Known Issues
-
Currently the verification of QuickFolders licenses fails when the license is bound to an exchange account when it is accessed using Owl. This is due to a bug in the extensions.accounts Webextensions API - which doesn't include them when using <tt>accounts.list()</tt> - which we hope will be fixed very soon.

Improvements
- Made QuickFolders compatible with Thunderbird 128. [issue 454]

- Settings Advanced - Hardcoded Localisation for 'Open in New Tab' [issue 471]
- QuickFolders now supports moving multiple selected folders with quickMove. This seems to work well when tested - also we should prevent the change icon menu in the folder pane popup when multiple folders are selected. [issue 475]
- Optimized licenser (omits folders while listing accounts)
Bug Fixes
- Ctrl+click on a subfolder should open new tab, this was fixed. [issue 474]

Improvements
Bugfixes
Other Improvements
- Additional settings for QuickFolders are now accessible to all operating systems. These are now displayed with a little sprocket icon beside the main option, which can be used to get into advanced configuration.

Version 6.3
Enhancements
Bugfixes
- Add custom icons in folder tree in Thunderbird 115. [issue 399]
These were supported in previous versions and QuickFolders will be able to load your previous settings if you used v5.17.1 or 5.18 on Thunderbird 102 or an earlier version.
To display the menu right-click any folder in the folder tree, then click Customize Icon.... We use the official menus API, which only allows a single Add-on command that is automatically appended to the bottom of the folder pane menu.
The maximum number of configurable icons is determined by license type. Icons should ideally be not bigger than 18*18px, you can get a bunch of examples from here. - Made registration screen less tall / easily resizable [issue 400]
- Support svg icons in tabs - make icon size configurable. [issue 407]
- Many thanks to Fx Benard for reviewing the French translations.

[issue 392] - Repaired: set keyboard focus back to thread pane after quickmove

Functionality converted to Thunderbird 115
- Rewritten QuickFolders toolbar to show in a different element (SuperNove wants all buttons displayed in their new Unified toolbar). All Folder menus remain as xul items for now as they are difficult to recreate in HTML. The new main styling including custom icons in the QuickFolders tab has been implemented.
- Following the Firefox model, Thunderbird 115 allows only one single action button (I am currently negotiating with the thunderbird team to allow more optional buttons) I decided to add the toolbar toggle button to the unified toolbar. With this the QuickFolders toolbar can be hidden temporarily.
When you install QuickFolders in Tb115 for the first time, all Add-on buttons are added on the top right - you may move it by right-clicking the unified toolbar and selecting customize. - Recent Folders had to be rewritten.
- Drag & Drop was broken and had to be fixed.
- Rewritten the event listeners in folder tree (drag and drop)
- The Navigation toolbar (a.k.a. Current Folder Bar) in center screen had to be reimplemented because there are now multiple 3pane documents / windows (one for each Thunderbird tab) Also I am now hiding unneccesary elements of the toolbar when it is displayed in the single message tab or single message window.
- Implemented main toolbar buttons (Show QuickFolders toolbar) as Unified toolbar action button.
- Storage of QuickFolders category per tab is now implemented with the new tab sessions API.
- Most of the icons in the options window have been redesigned as svg graphics for a modernized look and feel. Also, dark theme support has been improved. Issues / Open Points
- New CSS rules for folder tree icons: as the folder tree has been rewritten as HTML list, we cannot use the foldertreeitem.getProperties function to store this information anymore. Instead we need an new method to store this information separately - and then rules for styling the folders have to be recreated. This may take a little while - I am considering writing a tool to extract the information from older versions of Thunderbird (91 or 102) so they can be migrated to 115 later.
- Toolbar buttons Create folder, Skip Folder can currently not be added (because the mail toolbar is gone and unified toolbar only allows noe single button per Add-on)
- When a QuickFolders Tab is selected, Thunderbird still needs to scroll the folder tree to that folder.

Version 5.16.1

Maintenance Fixes
Version 5.15.2:
will not trigger quickFilters assistant multiple times anymore when dropping multiple mails to a tab. Version 5.15.1:
A regression in v5.15 caused all text in popup menus (subfolders / commands) to appear missing for most users. This was because of the default size of 0 being falsely applied as a literal value. [issue 333] Version 5.15.2 (WIP):
The quickFilters assistant was triggered multiple times when dropping multiple mails to tab or multiple mails are moved using quickMove. This new version will move emails together, as long as they come from an identical source folder. This should prevent multiple assistant windows in the majority of use cases. [issue 335]

- [issue 315] Remove the term 'Orphaned Tabs' in all User Interface texts
- Modifications to internal code for triggering the quickFilters filter assistant to avoid "monkey patching" (overwriting) Thunderbird internal functions. These changes are needed from the next version of quickFilters (5.7 and higher) onwards to avoid duplicate prompts for filter creation.
- Set max version to Thunderbird 108 for users of beta version.

Improvements
- [issue 283] Slowdown of Thunderbird 102 with QuickFolders
There is some inefficiency in the Thunderbird code base for the folder tree which can be exascerbated by QuickFolders. I have removed as many function calls as I could find without impacting on functionality. On startup some right-click menus have to be generated to make drag+drop, these are now generated at a later stage to yield some time to the User Interface.
- [issue 279] Fixed: Thunderbird 102 - current category is not remembered / selected; in this solution I store the current category of each tab (folder and messages) whenever a tab is opened / moved or closed. Information is only stored for one single window, so it might get confused if you open multiple windows with different categories per tab. It works reasonably for most general uses of QuickFolder categories.
- [issue 280] Folder tree icons did not work independently of tabs in Thunderbird 102.
- [issue 284] Recent folders menu doesn't show or takes a very long time in Thunderbird 102 - There is some inefficent code in Thunderbird 102 at the moment, so I have started to use their own internal function to generate this.
- [issue 287] Fixed the removal of invalid (orphaned) tabs through the tool menu command "remove invalid tabs". Also renamed it for clarity: this used to be called "find orphaned tabs"

Maintenance Version 5.10.3 - 14/07/2022
[issue 281] this maintenance version will be able to reconstruct tabs after upgrading from Thunderbird 91 to 102 even if the server and username have been modified due to bug 1573690. The previous version failed with reconstructing these on IMAP folders.
To automatically rebuild (and avoiding invalid tabs) is only possible if 5.10.1 was previously run on an older profile (Thunderbird 91 or older)
If you already upgraded to Thunderbird 102 previously and still have invalid tabs, you can follow the detailed instructions at the last comment on [issue 281]

[issue 281] 5.10.2 - this maintenance version will be able to reconstruct tabs after upgrading from Thunderbird 91 to 102 even if the server and username have been modified due to bug 1573690. To successfully reconstruct (and avoiding invalid tabs) is only possible if 5.10.1 was previously run on an older profile (Thunderbird 91 or older)
If you already upgraded to Thunderbird 102 previously and experience invalid tabs, you can now generate troubleshooting information via right-click QuickFolders Commands / Tab Specific Properties... This will copy the assumed account and the (invalid) folder URI to the clipboard.
For reference you can click on any real folder in the folder tree and then SHIFT+Click on the QuickFolders tool icon, then select Debug / Copy current folder info! This will copy the account and correct expected URI to the clipboard. By comparison of these data points it I can fix your folders through exporting the folder configuration and then text search+replace the differing URIs (or by simply inserting the correct account) Fixed the missing close [x] icon on the advanced tab properties panel, which is hidden by style changes in Thunderbird 102. Fixed icon coloring for the tools and QuickFolders Command menus in dark mode (Thunderbird 102).

5.9.1 Maintenance Improvments
Simplified recent folders menu behavior for keyboard navigation.
[issue 254] The new "=" key of quickMove/quickJump shows an arrow to visit child folders which means that the folder itself cannot be opened with keyboard only (by pressing the enter key), which forced the user to use the mouse, impeding the workflow.
I have decided to instead not show subfolders for these recent folders as it doesn't add much value for what essentially should be a repeat operation. I have also extended this to the other recent folders menus (e.g. on the recent folders tab).
The old behavior (of showing subfolders) can still be restores by setting the config setting <tt>extensions.quickfolders.recentfolders.subfolders = true</tt>
[issue 252] Fixed: Tabs with invalid folder address can break search results. This can happen if you exclude accounts from the search after recreating a profile with different spelling.
[issue 255] Fixed: CTRL Right-clicking on the active folder can create multiple instances of the folder commands submenu.

Amon other things, this fixes the color pickers that have stopped working on Mac. Long term, all Dialogs and User Interfaces need to be converted to HTML
to become future proof and pure API based. There are still things that cannot be done with HTML right now (such as folder dropdowns that aren't cut off at the toolbar borders), so this is an ongoing effort for the predictable future.
Bug Fixes - 5.9
- [issue 232] Fixed: When Adding a category to a tab, another category may be replaced
- [issue 235] Fixed: quickJump may fail if "Compact mode" in folder tree is enabled.
- [issue 220] Fixed an issue with license validation (alias identity support).
- Fixed "change order" dialog.

Improvements
- [issue 241] using quickJump / quickMove via shortcut - hitting Enter will now always select the last successful location (even when the name is ambiguous) and not the top item of the menu. To use the first item of the menu using Enter the menu hast to be visible - either by starting to type or pressing arrow-down.

Maintenance Release 5.8.3
- Fixed in page links for users with licenses! Before licensed users were directed to the top of a page instead of the correct location (such as the feature comparison list or current version info)
- Improved speed of license validator for Thunderbird 91.2 and later.
- Improved readability for menu items on (license-) restricted tabs.
Maintenance Release 5.8.2
- [issue 5] Long folders menus now scroll when dragging mails to screen edge.
Improvements (5.8.1)
- [issue 205] When clicking "get Messages" from any tab, QuickFolders used to also jump into the folder. This behavior is actually not desired, as you may have filter rules defined which remove mail from the Inbox so jumping into the Inbox is not useful when new mail is downloaded.
- [issue 191] Support large icon in QuickFolders toolbar buttons for high resolution displays.
Bug Fixes + Miscellaneus (5.8.1)
- [issue 211] Fixed: move Folders in quickMove fails in Thunderbird 91. You can now again drag (multiple) folders from the tree to the quickMove button in order to relocate them. Or use the Shortcut Shift+M if you have a QuickFolders Pro license.
- [issue 203] Fixed: When the quickFilters Add-on activates its assistant, all icons on left to the tabs on the QuickFolders toolbar turned white.
- [issue 209] Fixed: Tabs in Options Dialog become illegible in Thunderbird 91 when using dark themes with bright text.
- Fixed: In Thunderbird 91, background area behind current folder toolbar does not show correct background color from lightweight theme, even when lightweight support is enabled.
- Fixed: The History Tab was not displayed anymore when updating QuickFolders.
Known unresolved issues - W.I.P.
- [issue 204] WIP - Thunderbird 91: Background of QuickFolders toolbar doesn't support some themes when set to transparent.
- [issue 208] Upgrade from TB 78 to 91.1.2 sometimes leads to invalid / "orphaned" tabs.
For the moment, you should be able to resolve these by clicking a tab with the "broom" / invalid icon or by running the tool command "Find Orphaned tabs".
Should this not give the desired results, then you can export your tabs via the license tab or on the Advanced tab using the [Copy Tabs] button and send me the file so I can help you fix this.
