108199 - better filename than "abook.mab"

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, enhancement)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

the filename "abook.mab" is very good. Why not rename it to "Personal Address
Book.mab" ?

Because we have an 8.3 limitation on some platforms, for one?

No. I already have `localstore.rdf' (14 characters) and `XUL FastLoad File' (17 
characters) in my profile folder, and other files with even longer names -- so 
8.3 is obviously not a problem.

Attachment: abook.mab corrupted

couldn't be opened by thunderbird. Thunderbird creates anew empty abook.mab and renames the old one. what is wrong? I use the profile from win Xp and suse 10.3. i linked the windows one later to the profiles folder.

This has nothing to do with this bug. You should check the support forums (see http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/) in the first instance rather than asking on bugzilla.
