212898 - Imported IE Favorites does not contain subfolders of Favorites which contain other favorites/folders

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[James]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

This problem has been experienced in 1.2.1, 1.4b, 1.4rc2, 1.4 on W2K Pro.
I have four levels of directories in my Favorites for IE, so my Favorites folder
contains a mix of .url files and folders. The .url files directly in the
Favorites folder are correctly imported, but the subfolders and everything
contained within them are not. Instead, there are entries in the Imported IE
Favorites which have no name, and when clicked navigate to the appropriate file
in the file system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create subdirectories in your IE Favorites that contain other directories and
          links.
2. Install any of the versions of Mozilla listed.
3. Try to open up one of the subdirectory links in Bookmarks | Imported IE
Favorites. 

Actual Results:  
Relevant folder is shown as per the local file exploring functionality; e.g.
address bar contains
file:///E:/Documents%20and%20Settings/abljam/Favorites/Climbing/
and the contents of the directory are listed in the viewing pane.

Expected Results:  
Recursively convert subfolders in my IE Favorites to subfolders in Imported IE
Favorites, handling links and folders appropriately.

I've also attached the text that is in my bookmark.html file for that section.

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
