300655 - Move Gnome integration into components\shell

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Scott MacGregor]

In order to make Bug 255560 easier to implement on the mac, I think it makes
sense to move all the stuff in:

mail\components\gnome\

into a new directory:

mail\components\shell

Both the gnome integration class and the Mac integration class can live together
underneath shell instead of having components\gnome and components\mac.

Such a restructuring would mirror firefox which has components\shell

I've asked Dave Miller to copy the files into components\shell to preserve CVS
history.

hrm, does it already have a high-level XP interface... ;)

Comment 3

[Scott MacGregor]

Yes, we already have an API in place used by Windows and Linux that the Mac
shell service would have to implement:

nsIMapiRegistry

See the Unix implementation here:

we should make sure Dave Miller copies these files into \shell before the branch
gets cut. 

Comment 5

Scott: Do you also want thunderbird to register itself as the default handler of
any file type?

Comment 6

[Scott MacGregor]

Ok, I've finished checking all of this stuff in.
