40026 - Cookie Manager and Image Manager should be separate dialogs

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect, P3)

Description

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

This is split off from bug 35372.

The Cookie Manager and the Image Manager should be separate dialogs, rather than 
tabs in the same dialog. It makes little or no conceptual sense to put them in 
the same dialog.

Brendan, if you agree then please send to XPApps.

Actually, I don't have a problem with those two managers sharing a dialog
conceptually.  In fact, I would argue for *more* managers sharing the same space
so that there'd be more of a one-stop shop for managing privacy and information.
 The problem is that the access mechanism (multiple, separate submenus which
contain both actions and dialog access with little or no differentiation)
doesn't support the same conceptual model since each manager is listed
separately and some *are* separate while others aren't.

Therefore, until such time as we decide to revisit both the access mechanism and
the managers themselves, I have to support separating the dialogs since there's
little benefit realized from their current combination.  Reassigning to XPApps.

See Bug <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32502">32502</a>
for related discussion on the access mechanism.

Ben, you said you were interested in redoing this UI. Want a spec?

Netscape nav triage team: based on Steve Morse's pre-triage recommendation, this 
is not a beta stopper.

There is currently a major reorg of all the cookie files going on in bug 46783.  
Part of that work will include the fix for this problem.  So when I check in the 
patches in that bug report I will mark this bug as fixed.
