56406 - Imported 'personal toolbar' bookmarks not displayed until restart

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Hatamoto]

From a fresh install of M18, used Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks->File->Import
Bookmarks to grab NS4.7 bookmark file (contained a 100 or so). File imported
fine and all bookmarks appear to be happy, but none of the personal toolbar
links showed up until the browser was restarted. Hardly fatal, but it'd be
somewhat annoying to the anal retentives.

Confirmed with Linux 20001024.

Doesn't happen if you tell it to import a netscape profile on first startup.

May be related to bug 53841.

Netscape Nav triage team: this is not a Netscape beta stopper.

Reporter is this still happening in the latest build with the new bookmarks
manager? Thanks!

Marking nsbeta1- bugs as future to get off the radar.

Paul Chen is now taking Bookmarks bugs. For your convenience, you can filter

Mozilla 1.4a (en) Build 2003040105 displays this problem on a first time install
of Mozilla on NT 4.0 SP6 and Win 2000 (Selected import Netscape 4.51 bookmarks
on install), but the toolbar links never show up.  Until a simultaneous install
of Mozilla 1.3 on the Win 2000 was done, and the problem with the toolbar not
showing anything other than Home, and Bookmarks was fixed in 1.4a!  This looks
like a long standing initialization problem of some sort.

I don't see this with SeaMonkey 1.0beta (any more). Mark WFM?

Comment 13

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't see how this could possibly work, so long as bug 74969 is fixed since we treat PT folder like any other random folder during import.  The bookmarks in the imported PT folder aren't recognized even after a restart.

Reverting that bug for PT only shouldn't cause any problems based on my own testing (I don't see any duplicate bookmarks showing up).  And with that, this bug would get fixed.

patch

ajschult isn't working on patches and jag isn't doing reviews and anyway we have switched to Places Bookmarks on SeaMonkey 2.1b2.

WONTFIX on SeaMonkey 2.0 branch.
Probably WFM on SeaMonkey 2.1b2 due to the switch to Places Backend.
