270022 - Choose doesn't display selection in New Saved Search Folder dialog

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

couldn't find an existing bug for this: if you click the Choose button in the
New Saved Search Folder dialog, you can select from any of the folders for the
account you're searching on.

however, once you've made a selection in the Select Folder(s) dialog, that
choice doesn't appear after you click OK and return to the New Saved Search
Folder dialog.

I guess this might be tricky to implement, since more than one folder can be
selected from Select Folder(s)...

Hi Sarah, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the choice doesn't appear after
you hit ok".

Does this mean that we aren't searching the folders you selected?

what I mean is that the choice isn't displayed back in the New Saved Search
Folder dialog. it's only displayed in the Select Folder(s) subdialog. again,
this is just a minor thing.

that's a different issue, actually :) --see bug 270027.

actually, if I revisit Select Folder(s), the selection I had previously made
doesn't persist. :-\

it'd be morphing this bug somewhat, but if we could fix that issue (selection in
Select Folder not persisting), that'd be helpful (and clearer).

nevermind this point: the checkmark state does persist!
