132380 - Merge "Schedule" and "Notify" tabs in Bookmark Properties

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Håkan Waara]

I spoke to first Ben, and then rjc about this on IRC a few weeks ago. rjc agreed.

The idea is to merge the "Schedule" and "Notification" tabs, for a few reason:

a) They are closely related. In fact, they depend on each other; when a checkbox
to enable Scheduling is not set, the whole Notification tab is disabled.

b) It makes the dialog faster to load (I think). This is usually not an issue,
but I saw this bug a few days ago that specifically said this dialog takes too
long time to load...

c) It makes sense.  :-)

I'll try to work on it, and come up with a patch.

Sorry, it's not a checkbox in the "Schedule" tab; it's a popupmenu, and when
that's set to "Never"...

What would the name of the combined tab be?

`Updates'.

It would be nice if bug 14211 could be fixed at the same time. :-)

Beter is to completely remove the 'tabs'. 
See also bug 117026. The tabs are a performance hit, and cause
people to overlook the 'updates' feature.

Comment 8

[Alfred Kayser]

See Bug 117026 for a patched bm-props.xul, merging all tabs together.

marking FIXED now that the patch for bug 117026 has landed.
