1829565 - Changes to a virtual folder's searched folders should be reflected in the folder tree

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, task)

Description

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

In bug 1822815 I'm fixing the folder tree display the searched folders of a virtual folder. But the tree won't be updated if the list of searched folders changes, because nothing emits a notification when this happens.

I'm going to figure out the best place to make such a notification, and teach the folder tree to respond to it.

Adds a new notification "search-folders-changed" when a virtual folder's list of searched folders changes, and front-end code to update the folder tree.

I'd prefer to make the notification closer to where the change happens (so there's one copy of the code for all paths) but there's no access to the folder object there.

Depends on D175829
