329861 - Add a copyAnnotations function to the annotation service

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Joe Hughes]

In order to change a bookmark URI properly, we need to be able to move the annotations on the old URI to the new URI, and then delete the annotations from the old URI (which we already have a function for).  copyAnnotations should have a parameter which specifies whether to prefer the existing or the copied value in cases where both the source and target URIs have a particular annotation name.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
