I use Shift-M, Shift-T, and Shift-J all the time. Mostly when looking at a list of emails.

But every now and then, I hit Cmd-Shift-O when looking at a list of emails, to see the entire threaded conversation across multiple folders.

While looking at that threaded conversation, I try to use Shift-M, Shift-T, or Shift-J, to move or copy one of the messages of the thread to a different folder. Or to jump to that folder.

In that case, Shift-M, Shift-T, or Shift-J pops up a text box as usual, but when I type into the text box, it shows no dropdown menu. And when I hit down-arrow, it shows the previous folder that I did a move, copy or jump to. Totally ignoring the chars I've now typed into the text box.

Odd...

My workaround is to right-click the message in the conversation, and choose "Open Message in Containing Folder". Then use Shift-M, Shift-T, or Shift-J as usual.

Ok. I never used Cm=Shift-O (my Windows PC doesn't have a Cmd key) but now I believe I understand it's a quickSearch turned into a virtual mail search list? Basically something that comes up after clicking "Open email as list"? I have changed the title along those lines so be more accessible. describing a bug based on three keyboard shortcuts is a nightmare and probably didn't motivate me to read your description in full detail. (Plus that fact that you tend to submit multiple issues at once which overwhelms my capacity)

And you want to move mails from there... I think Thunderbird (or my code) somehow has problems determining the original folder "we are in now". I need to check what I am doing here, but generally it should get the source folder(s) from the actual emails hightlighted. Except it does this really STUPID assumption that the first email in the list gives the folder (and that the other highlighted emails are in the same folder).

At least that is my understanding of now without looking at old code for an hour.

Ok, I can reproduce but only on Thunderbird 78. In error console I see this exception:

So that's definitely a great starting point to work from. usually it's a good idea to look into JS error console when something stops working first.

So, this seems to be a side effect of the new feature to exclude accounts from the search results. or rather the feature not to allow moving from the current account to another, here are the lines where it fails:

  if (isQuickJumpOrMove) {
    currentFolder = util.CurrentFolder;
    if (!currentFolder) isQuickJumpOrMove = false; // can't determine current account
    currentServer = currentFolder.server ? currentFolder.server.key : null;
    quickMoveSettings.loadExclusions(); // prepare list of servers to omit
  }

even if I fix this it will probably break the "don't move mail to other servers" feature. It's tricky because you may have multiple mails in different accounts selected...

quick fix version for Thunderbird 78:

QuickFolders-wx-5.5pre3.zip

Note: this should still honor the excluded accounts, but the advanced search setting "Only show results from current mail account" will not work because in a search there is no current folder, and this is what that setting is based on!

Axel, Tried the new zip file.  Works perfectly.  Thanks! As you said, the "Only show results from current mail account" option does not work from a conversation view. But does still work from regular mail folders.  That's fine with me because I don't use that feature.  Instead, I mark all but one of my accounts as to be excluded. Frank, does that fix all of your related problems too? If so, I think you can close the ticket, Axel. Thanks!

Thanks - I will close this issue once I officially release QuickFolders 5.5 so that people will see this one as active in the meantime and are able to test the fix above themselves. By the way you could have saved some time by visiting the github issue and reply from the bottom - rather than replying to every comment in chronological order.

There should be an option to get a copy of your own comments sent to you on github if you reply from here, which would fulfill your archivary needs... Otherwise (if you stick to replying from email) please snip out as much as you can (e.g. appelations / signatures and full on quoted threads are unnecessaryk, just clutter the issue pages and make them less accessible for others).

At GitHub, you can't even nest comments under other comments, so it all comes out as one long un-indented list of comments. Bummer!  But most bug tracking systems seem to be like that. I think even Jira doesn't support nested comments.

let's test that

I just inserted the above by using two > , so it is possible with markdown

I generally prefer to work from email rather than directly at the GitHub web site.  But, yeah, I could trim out some of the quoted stuff when it's not relevant.

My .sig file shouldn't be a problem at GitHub, and same for allowing Thunderbird to append a copy of the message I'm replying to, because GitHub shows only the email without those unless you click on the "..." button to see it all, right? Like with this message.  The last line you should see at GitHub is this one.  True?

yes, this is what I see:

but I usually would go in (on the website) and delete all that to keep it really clean. Once I learned markdown I was quite happy because I don't really want all my signature and info and included thunderbird bitmap on here.

Axel,
5.5.1 published today which implements this for Thunderbird 78 users.

This version didn't install itself automatically or prompt me or anything.  When I saw this email, I went manually to the TB Add-ons manager and told it to check for updates.  I haven't had to do that in the past, but maybe I just didn't wait long enough?

It should auto-update (I just tested it by installing 5.5 and then restarted and ran "check for updates" and it updated to 5.1 - it is possible that you installed a preview version which was tagged as 5.6preXX before I decided to publish the patch and the mechanism will never downgrade your version.

Then the splash screen appeared, saying it was updated to 5.5.1. The splash screen showed me a button to see "What's New" in more details.  That took me to: - https://quickfolders.org/version.html?user=pro#5.5.1 where I saw:     "Changed folder tree shortcut from F7 to F9 (consistent with     Thunderbird 68). Push F0 to make the folder tree visible or     quickly hide it." Questions: 1. How do I get the splash screen to re-appear?  I clicked     "What's New" before I finished reading it. 2. Is the F0 above a typo? 

Typo! I fixed that, thanks for noticing.

Should be F9 perhaps?

  1. Is there an alternate key to show/hide the folder tree?     Sounds like a useful feature, but F9 is already used for     another purpose Mac-wide, and I'd rather not change that.  F7 would be fine. Thanks!

I saw that it had been changed at some stage to F7 and I had forgotten about it so I changed it back. Obviously I hadn't documented that properly, but I must have made the change at some stage for my Mac users. I think the best way forward would be to make it configurable - that would also be a step forward to increase visibility for the feature. Feel free to open a new issue for that one in case I forget it!
