9697 - [PP] profile migration should rename "bookmark.htm" to "bookmarks.html"

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Waterson]

The 5.0 bookmarks code is expecting the file to be named "bookmarks.html" on
_all_ platforms now. Can we fix the 4.x-to-5.0 migration to rename the file
when copying?

Don, I think you're all over this, but here's a bug to track it...

I'm indeed all over this sucker.  I don't think it should be an M8 bug.  I'll
fix this right away for M9.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Run apprunner
2) Migrate a profile from Communicator 4.x
3) Verify that bookmarks file in Users50/migrateprofile directory has .html
extension

So, I think that its BAD BAD BAD to change the name of the bookmark's file!!!
Third-party utilities will be looking for the old name of the file (whatever it
is for a given platform).

INSTEAD, the 5.0 bookmark's code should handle finding a bookmark's file with
any of the older names and use the name it finds.

I have code to do exactly that, and I'm going to check it in.

THIS bug should be marked as INVALID in my opinion.

Robert is right.  I'll remove the code I had to change name.  Marking INVALID.
