124255 - Second launch does not show unmigrated profiles

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: Migration, defect)

Description

[Grace Bush]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Do a clean install  - emulating first time install on a machine- and have 
multiple 4.x profiles
2. The first launch shows me the ProfileManager with a list of the profiles to 
be migrated.  
3. Choose one and launch etc.  QuickLaunch icon is in the system tray. 
4. Close to relaunch with a second profile. 

Actual results:  Clicking on the icon opens the browser. I do not get a Profile 
Manager from clicking on the icon.  

expected results: Profile Manager comes up
Workaround:
I can go to the Start Menu and select Profile Manager, migrate profile #2 or 
create a second profile, and test it. Now clicking on systray icon 
does  bring up Profile Manager as expected.

Grace, that sounds right to me regardless of QuickLaunch.

> 3. Choose one and launch etc.  QuickLaunch icon is in the system tray.

Since this was a clean machine, you only have one current profile at this point.
The profile mgr should not come up if you have only one current profile no
matter how many 4x profiles you have.

> 4. Close to relaunch with a second profile.

Yes, I see that- just retested without turbo.  I guess I miss the Program Folder 
with both N6.2 and N6.2 PM icons - Seems awkward to have to search for PM icon.

I should relnote this as others have run into it and were not sure what was 
happening

OK, so this ain't misbehaving. It's not very good UE though. This would probably
best be fixed by bug 97622. In that, dynamic profile switching will be done by
simply having the profile mgr available from a menu. When you bring up that
menu, it will show the profile manager dialog in which users will always see
yet-to-be migrated profiles. I think the way it is now where the profile manager
dialog is only shown at startup time makes things difficult for the user. This
is one example.

I agree- nothing is broken- just confusing
Added relnote to remind me later

Changing component since this has nothing to do with quicklaunch.

Comment 8

[Peter Trudelle]

removing turbo mode from summary

FYI: Bug 44597 also requests this feature.  This might be good to keep open 
since bug 204580 may be more of dupe to this than to bug 44597.

Marking bugs related to migrating 4.7 profiles as wontfix, as this is no longer supported.

If this bug isn't specific to 4.7, please reopen it.
