682721 - search function does not regenerate missing .msf files

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 682731

(Thunderbird :: Search, defect)

Description

[william.allen.simpson]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0
Build ID: 20110811165603

Steps to reproduce:

(1) removed all .msf files
     find ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/  -name *.msf -exec rm -f {} \;

(2) remove panacea.dat and folderTree.json

(3) started TB 3.1.12

(4) search for Subject !@!@!


Actual results:

Upon start, TB generates 4K .msf for all empty mail files (usually .sbd sub-folders).

Search did not create any additional .msf files.


Expected results:

In past versions, TB would generate .msf files during the search.

Now, you have to click on each folder to regenerate.

Don't know why proposed search fix was put into a different (later_ bug, but I'll make this depend on that....

They were created very close together and this one probably hadn't been noticed. We track everything about an issue in one bug, therefore marking as duplicate.
