The Close On Reply extension should work.

The New Mail Attention extension needs a fix.

Please test the extension before asking for a fix.

Morat:

I can pick up New mail Attention as well as contacting the original author.
Just want to make sure no one is already doing this...

@cleidigh

I'm not working on the New Mail Attention extension.

I thought there would be no easy fix for the Message Archive Options extension and the Super Date Format extension since the developers removed the toLocaleFormat method.

Well that may very well be an issue. But I mentioned I still need to do more testing. The UI appears okay so far, I'm working on this today.

hat tip to you - fooled by defaults...

With toLocaleFormat !== toLocaleDateString at all , I found a great replacement:
https://github.com/thdoan/strftime

I don't need a full strftime() replacement for 'Message Archive Options', but
as you pointed out 'Super Date Format' certainly does.

The strftime function from thdoan is really small and nicely done. There should
be no problem with the MIT license and as a courtesy I contacted the author and
he is fine with the use.

If it makes sense I can add 'Super Date Format' to my to do list.

I'm still getting my wings with Thunderbird so nothing 's fast yet.

Thanks for the tips

I have to extend my gratitude to the contributors of this thread. I had been mourning the loss of one of my favorite Thunderbird extensions, SearchWith, since moving to v60. Today, I finally got nerd-sniped enough to see if I could fix it. After about 30 minutes of digging around, I found this thread, and there were enough details in here to pull it off. Happy to be able to contribute back.

I got the Minimize On Start and Close extension working correctly in Thunderbird 60.

It looks like there is a bug in Thunderbird 60. The close event doesn't fire and that breaks the minimize on close feature. A workaround is to switch the close event for the DOMWindowClose event.

Close Event

DOMWindowClose Event

http://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/48585

Hello morat,

could you help me with this? I would like to use this addon again. I have set "extensions.strictCompatibility" to false. Downloaded the latest version from minimizeOnClose 1.3.2 from the website. TB said i can´t install the addon because its not compatible.
Furthermore how/where i have to include the code you posted?
Would be great if you send me a dm.
Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Sorry, now it works. Ignore this post and thanks for your work

cubeflex:

You need to make the fixes (changes) he documented to three files stored in the *.xpi file before trying to install it. The *.xpi file is just a renamed zip file.

I suggest you use 7-zip to edit the files in place. You can open the archive, select a file, right click on it and select open, edit it using the default text editor, save the file, and when you close the text editor 7-zip should ask you if you want to update the archive with the edited copy of the file.

I notice that on the OP is saying that minimizetotray reanimated is broken, but it's not, it works just fine because there's been updating on it https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/th ... eanimated/

Also, is there anyone that can fix Autocopy https://addons.thunderbird.net/pt-PT/th ... src=search ?

@onesolo: Thank you, updated the first post for MinimizeToTray

Autocopy 2 1.2.91 [Properties broken]

AFAICT, I got the Autocopy 2 extension working correctly in Thunderbird 60.

Fix:

* install.rdf

Code: Select all: - <em:version>1.2.91</em:version> + <em:version>1.2.91.1</em:version>

Code: Select all: - <em:maxVersion>30.0</em:maxVersion> + <em:maxVersion>60.*</em:maxVersion>

* chrome\content\optionsTb.xul

Code: Select all: <?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://autocopy/skin/autocopy.css" type="text/css"?> + <?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://messenger/skin/preferences/preferences.css" type="text/css"?>

* chrome\content\overlayMail.js

Code: Select all: - for each (var i in AutoCopyAppMail.modes) { + for (let i of AutoCopyAppMail.modes) {

AutoCopy 2
http://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/337159

P.S.

In the 3pane window and addon options dialog, I get document.getElementById(...) is null errors in the overlayMail.js and options.js files after fixing the extension. I think the developer is letting the extension error on purpose so you can ignore these errors.

thkx a lot... going to see if it works
By the way, there's a completely addon for firefox, webextension addon, that works in the same way, but the dev refuses to port it to TB.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... clipboard/

If someone here could port this to TB it would be great... I already tried to look it but the files structure from webextension are a bit different from legacy addons and I don't have the skill to modify them...

Well, in the meantime autocopy modification worked just fine!!! Thkx!! I guess I don't have more issues with the new TB !!! until they break with the old addons

@onesolo

The developers are still working on the WebExtension APIs for Thunderbird.

Thunderbird WebExtension APIs
http://thunderbird-webextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

AutocopySelection2Clipboard uses these APIs...

http://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/notifications
http://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage
http://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/webNavigation

I don't think these APIs are available yet.
