183498 - bookmarks.html always recreated, should be rewritten instead.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 156814

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[CVIJETIC]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020913 Debian/1.2.6-2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020913 Debian/1.2.6-2

The bookmarks.html file is automatically generated by mozilla.
However, the method is (as far as I understand):
1. delete the file
2. create a file with the same name and write it.
This has the effect to generate a file with a different inode.
It would be nice if this file was not recreated every time, but only rewriten.
It would allow to put a symlink on the file to share it between Linux and
Windows, for example. This works fine for abook.mab

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
It would be nice if this file was not recreated every time, but only rewriten.
It would allow to put a symlink on the file to share it between Linux and
Windows, for example. This works fine for abook.mab

Please don't file a bug again about a non mozilla.org build (Debian/1.2.6-2)
unless you can reproduce it with a mozilla.org build
And also don't file bugs about a build older than 2 weeks ! (Gecko/20020913)
