Not working in TB 115.0.1

[gruniversal]

Mozilla now switches to the "supernova" version of thunderbird.

The current addon version does not work with supernova.

I would be glad so have an update, so that it is working again.

Working on that, basic functionality is there already. Still need to completely figure out the new UI structure to correctly overlay on both 3-pane tabs, message tabs as well as the statusbar.

Here's a first beta version, feedback highly welcome. Note: this version only works on Thunderbird 115.x.

ThreadVis-3.5.0.beta.1.zip

(.zip as GitHub doesn't support .xpi attachments. Luckily Thunderbird reads .zips as well.)

Not yet fully tested, but the beta seems to work fine! Thanks for the swift work, saved my life after TB auto-update! Just donated, keep up the great work!

[foostuff]

Just wanted to leave my "thank you" here. The core functionality seems to work flawless.

The ThreadVis beta works immediately after I install it. After I close thunderbird and open it again, all settings are gone and ThreadVis doesn't show up and the devtools don't find an element named "ThreadVis" any more. If I re-install it, it works again.

Ok, this is weird. Trying to replicate this, I saw the same thing happening to my Thunderbird (open for quite a while now, ThreadVis already installed) once (macOS):

• Install ThreadVis
• Close Thunderbird
• Re-open, ThreadVis is gone
• Re-install ThreadVis
• Close Thunderbird
• Re-open: ThreadVis is there, as expected.

I've re-done this cycle now 10 times (uninstall, restart, reinstall, restart), but so far it's always been working as expected.

Does it stay installed after you've repeated the install process?

[ErikKrause]

No, it is always gone if I close and restart thunderbird.
Do you have a suspicion? Where can I look? Could it be this is because I didn't uninstall the previous version?
There are only five lines with threadvis in the prefs.js. Shouldn't there be more?

I am using thunderbird 115.3. on ubuntu
installed from the zip file, does'nt appear in thunderbird's UI.

[RobertBorst]

Installed on 115.3.1 on windows 10, works as expected,
Stopped TB and started again, It remains visible, not other extensions installed.

[ErikKrause]

No, it is always gone if I close and restart thunderbird.

Somehow threadvis doesn't read it's settings. But if I disable it and then enable it again, the settings are there and it works again.

Quick test on TB 115.3.1 (64bit) on Ubuntu 22.04.1.
After install: works as expected
After closing TB and reopening it after a few seconds: works as expected
After restart of the system: no thread-indicator visible, Add-on still in Add-ons-menu, after deactivation and re-activation works as expected

Hm. This is weird. Restarting TB and restarting the system and starting TB should not make a difference. Is the statusbar icon visible in TB (lower right) after a system restart?

[ahubmann]

No, it is always gone if I close and restart thunderbird.

Maybe you're on to something there. ThreadVis is still using the "old" preferences settings (which you can edit via "Config Editor..." in the main "Settings -> General" tab). I'll test on a clean setup in a virtual machine, can't reproduce this on my laptop.

Does it show up as an installed add-on? If so, could you check "Tools" -> "Developer Tools" -> "Error Console" for any (red) errors after startup?

[marcalia]

Funny thing. I repeated the process.

• shutdown and re-start system and start TB -> status bar visible, thread-indicator not; Add-on "active" in add-on manager
• deactivating and re-activating Add-on -> thread-indicator visible, works fine
• shutting TB down and re-starting it -> thread-indicator visible, works fine; error console shows some errors I cannot really assign to this Add-on.

And then...

• shutdown and re-start system and start TB -> thread-indicator visible, works fine

I will test it again. Couldn't imagine opening the error console one would fix this behavior. I cannot post the screenshots I made because I am running firefox in firejail and it doesn't allow drag-n-drop from thunar.
