156196 - Chimera: Bookmarks should use ~/Library/Application Support/

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Bookmarks, defect)

Description

[david murphy]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020707
BuildID:    20020707Chimera

Every time I install a new build of Chimera I have to reimport my bookmarks.

The proper way to handle bookmarks would be to follow the examples already set
by MSIE, Netscape and Mozilla (Carbon), and create a Navigator or Chimera folder
in the user's Application Support directory in ~/Library/Application Support/
which contains the bookmarks and other relevant preferences, such as default
home page, etc/

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install a Chimera build.
2.Launch and import MSIE bookmarks.
3.Quit Chimera
4.Download newer Chimera build.
5.Install and launch


Actual Results:  Previously imported bookmarks are gone.
Previously defined default start page is gone

Expected Results:  User prefs and bookmarks would survive an upgrade.

Use the Application Support directory in ~/Library/Application Support/

It seems that today's build does so.

Confirmed that Chimera/20020708 now stores prefs in [~/Library/Application Support].

adding sfraser to cc: list, whom I think moved the chimera profile location to
~/Library/Application Support/
