In Version 6.13 Filter Assistant not showing (using quickMove)

[PotatoCarl]

Since Update to 6.13 the filter assistant is not working anymore (no filter assistant popping up)

How to reproduce:

• Drag & Drop Email to QuickFolder Quick Move
• Select Folder in Quick Move
• Mail gets moved
• Nothing happens

What should happen

• Filter Assistant pops up to generate filter from moved email

Also, it seems as the filter are not working at all anymore - neither from the "Extras" Menu from Thunderbird, not from the Shortcuts "Filter Email" and "Filter folder". So no filter at all.

Debug log:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Invalid compose tab: 5 undefined

Which version of Thunderbird? It works for me in Thunderbird 152.0.1.

1. Make sure in Actions to select the new assistant:

2. Try to make a longer debug log, enable debug and the following additional settings via the wheel:

debug.buildFilter = true
debug.createFilter = true
debug.createFilter.refreshHeaders = true

See if you get any additional messages. make sure to select "Multiprocess":

It seems as Quickfilter is not involved after move, despite the assistant being activated.
I activated debug mode in Quickfolder, too:

Still, no filter assistant.

One more thing: The filter assistant pops up if I move the email into a folder in the folder pane.

It does not work if I use Quickfolder (neither the quickmove nor the folder shortcuts)

Can you try the latest version of QuickFolders here:

QuickFolders-mx-6.17pre62.zip

At least that is going to give me up to date line numbers....

To install the version above, download the zip file and then drag the file into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager. Do not extract contents, it will not install that way. This one includes changes to issue RealRaven2000/QuickFolders#677 which converts storage from legacy to browser storage, and a new integration for the quickFilters buttons on the current folder bar from RealRaven2000/QuickFolders#680

Well, this even gives me my filter assistant back ;-) Thank you.

It's not entirely unexpected. The loading order of certain modules was modified, I was hoping it might make the startup + quickFilters integration more stable.

[RealRaven2000]

New version - I had to fix the way the preferences cache was read (fallout from changes in #367 leading to a regression that didn't read all settings in legacy code)

quickFilters-6.13.1pre21.zip
