Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Addressbook import filepicker doesn't remember last used directory (uses some
obscure dir every time) - recently goes to "mycomputer everytime.

This is VERY annoying if user has to import/export multiple AB's and must
re-navigate to his files EVERY time from scratch.

The filepicker should go to the *last used* directory (also accross sessions).

Removing obsolete keyword: mozilla0.9.8

Is this still a problem?

Yes, this still happens. (2002-08-30, win98)

import LDIF starts in "My Documents" directory.

Test:
exported to c:\a\TEST-AB
import started in c:\a\TEST-AB (how nice)
exit mozilla
reload mozilla
import starts from "My Documents" again. :(

BTW. The export didn't assign a file ending - but should have. :(

PS. I'm sure this bug probabl aslo applies to "export".

For me it does not even remember the directory when Mozilla is still running. I
save in ~/tmp and import stated in ~.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
