369114 - Port Seamonkey's tag-prioritization interface (and other UI niceties for tags)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 368084

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

Seamonkey's tag editor provides buttons to Raise Importance or Lower Importance to specify relative priority order of the tags.  This feature should be included in TB.  This is the primary aspect of this bug, the rest of this is just gravy:

Actually, the entire tag editing UI in Seamonkey is better -- in-place editing of labels and colors rather than an addition dialog that needs to be open; 

Seamonkey also has a Restore Defaults button.  Maybe this isn't such a useful feature, and there are repercussions: If you Cancel from the SM Preferences dialog after making changes here, the changes are discarded, which is especially useful to undo an accidental Restore Defaults.  TB's interface doesn't really "cancel" if you change a color and OK from the little popup dialog.  This is probably OK, but in that case, the Restore Defaults action would need a confirmation -- otherwise, you risk accidentally losing all the custom tags.

Thanks, Magnus, you're right; feel free to dupe my bugs when I do this.
That other bug is misfiled, it should be under Preferences rather than General.
