332629 - Change PlacesCreateFolderTransaction to make child transaction behavior more discoverable

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Joe Hughes]

If you only read the function headers, PlacesCreateFolderTransaction's child transaction capabilities are completely hidden.  I recommend adding an optional childTransactions array input parameter to PlacesCreateFolderTransaction (defaults to []), as well as documentation in the function header about how the child transactions will have their "container" properties altered before they're run.

mass re-assign of ben's, pam's, annie's, and joe's places bugs.

This has long been converted into nsIPlacesTransactionService, and the createFolder interface does have childTransactions parameter.

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.
