quickMove: Parent folder with space in name not shown #297

Closed

Description

@RealRaven2000

If a parent folder in a search string (with a / or > character contained in it) has a space in the name it is not listed in the search box of quickMove:

it is shown here as a "regular" result:

If the first word is incomplete the match fails "no matching parent folders":

If the starting string is entered without abbreviating the first word, including the space - there is no "create subfolder" command offered:

    note that "mozilla lists" is a parent folder and abbreviated to "moz li" in my search. This would fail in previous versions or not generate the "Create Subfolder..." menu entry.

    Added the other delimiter characters that we supported in the target folder search as well: - _ @ + & . and Space. To match any of these use "space" to delimit the words in the search text. For instance to find the parten folder "John&Martha" you just enter "j m/" or "jo ma/" - just make sure to enter the first letter(s) of each part with a space between each part.
