Feature Request: add more folders of path in Filter Name for "Move / copy Message" actions

[WoofGrrrr]

As it is now, when I use a template that has the "Move Message to" action, and I use that template to create a new filter, the name of the filter automatically has the target folder name in it, but only the last two folders in the hierarchy are included.

Is it possible to include the entire folder hierarchy - minus the Account Name?

Not at the moment, the settings are here:

But we could turn this into a feature request, most people would probably want to limit then number of parents, so it could be done by adding a "maximum number of parent folders", which defaults to 1.

A Feature Request would be great! And I, too, would want to limit the number of parents.

Alas, appears not implemented yet

Sorry, I kind of put this off while the settings window was still xul - that was the bad news. the good news is that I am almost done with the conversion to hmtl this week, and once that is stable we can add such features (and UI!) more easily without accruing lots of technical debt every time. See also #325 !

[WoofGrrrr]

yeah, understand.

I don't mean to be a bother, but I haven't heard anything about this in quite a while.

I don't mean to be a bother, but I haven't heard anything about this in quite a while.

I will pin it to the top three. I would I kind of like at least these features:

• max number of path names (default 2 or 3?)
• optional inclusion of target account name (since the source account is known - it's were the filter is stored) - this will be valuable when mails are moved / copied away from the original server.

Thanks, Axel!

Try this version:

quickFilters-6.10.1pre4.zip

you need to enable the new options including a maximum number of folder names here:

To install version above download zip file and drag the file into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager (do not extract contents, it won't install like that)
