196614 - [profile] Change preferences files/folder names from Chimera/Navigator to Camino

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Daryle Walker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7

I just downloaded Camino 0.7, which is the first version after the rename from
"Chimera".  However, the release notes say that the application stores its
support stuff in "~/Library/Application Support/Chimera/"  Since the application
has been renamed, shouldn't this folder name change too?  (Actually, all
instances of "Chimera" that aren't in a historical context should be changed, in
the application and on the Mozilla web site.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
For first-time users, the folder should be "~/Library/Application
Support/Camino/".  For others, the "~/Library/Application Support/Camino/"
folder should be checked first.  Otherwise, use the older "~/Library/Application
Support/Chimera/" if it exists.  If the older name is used, then rename the
folder to "Camino" if possible.

Confirmed using Camino/2003030613. Prefs are still stored in a Chimera folder.

(For that matter, why are profiles in Application Support instead of Preferences?)
