254794 - [RFE] button-specific callbacks should be invoked when moving buttons off of/onto a toolbar

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

customizeToolbar.js should call button-specific callback functions (e.g. by
checking a 'toolbarPresenceCallback' attribute of the button's XUL element,
containing the callback code). Thus buttons which are supposed to have a state
may be able to set it when the button comes into 'real existence'.

Looking at other code, I'm thinking broadcasters and observes can do this... but
I don't know. :)

They can do this, if all you want is just setting an attribute of the button.
But what if you want to run some sort of a check? Nothing tells the broadcaster
than its observer now exists...

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
