A regression from 0.6 probably related to the new profile manager? I'm getting lots of complaints from enterprise customers who can no longer call -CreateProfile anymore. Many of there deployment scripts use this to silently create a profile with the name and location of their choosing. This is a pretty bad regression we need to fix for 0.8: Here's a summary of the syntax as it used to work: "thunderbird.exe -CreateProfile "Profile M:\Thunderbird" would create a profile folder with name "Profile" in the M:\Thunderbird directory. "
Severity: normal → critical
Target Milestone: --- → Thunderbird0.8
ah, I new about -createprofile "profilename", but not about "profilename profilepath". Fix coming up.
