172571 - profile migration doesn't inform user where problem lies

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: Migration, defect)

Description

[Kathleen :Brade]

I just spoke with a friend who was trying to migrate to Netscape 7 from Netscape
4.x.  They were successful for one profile but not another.  It turns out that
one profile had a large mail file but not enough disk space to duplicate it.

As it turns out, there was almost enough disk space to complete the process but
not quite.  It would be nice if the dialog informed the user that they would
need at least xx more Megs free.

It would have been helpful if the failure dialog could point to a particular
file or set of files that are causing the failure.

Another possibility would be to inform user of files that seem very large (over
10Meg? 50 Meg?) and ask if they want to migrate those files or not?

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.

This is a generic problem (presumably) and affects all platforms.

This bug is filed in a bugzilla component related to pre-Firefox code which no longer exists. I believe it is no longer relevant and I am therefore closing it INCOMPLETE.

If you believe that this bug is still valid and needs to be fixed, please reopen it and move it to the Toolkit:Startup and Profile System product/component.
