21925 - [UI] Folder name for storing prefs, etc is WRONG!

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

I'v entered "gemal" as the profile name and choose another folder.

In the dialog it says that me prefs, bookmarks etc will be stored in:
c:\program files\mozilla\users\

But this is NOT true!!!

All the files are actually being stored in:
c:\program files\mozilla\users\gemal

Please change the dialog so that you append the profile name to the folder that
I select! So the dialog should say:
You prefs, bookmarks etc will be stored in:
c:\program files\mozilla\users\gemal\

Bhuvan, I was hoping Ben would take this, but maybe it's not a UI thing.  Please
give it a look and do the right thing.

This can be done by changing the corresponding JS file. We will have the profile
name and the selected path available. Just need to append the profile name to
the path and display that. Needed to profile name to the chosen path to
avoid dangerous delete operations.

Adding Ben to the cc list.

Adding UI tag to the summary line. Makes isolation of UI bugs easier.

assigning UI bugs to gayatri.

In newProfile1_2.js perhaps just add:
    folder += document.getElementById("ProfileName").value;

before:
    folderText.setAttribute("value",folder);

Moving to Profile Manager FrontEnd component.  (not changing owners yet)

Changing owner, Gayatri is not the correct owner for these.
