QuickFolders (Tabbed Folders)

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

by Mike_Echo on Feb. 2, 2024 ·

Quick Folders war DAS Add-On weil es die Ergonomie massiv, wirklich massiv, verbesserte.

Warum die Entwickler nicht selber so etwas eingebaut haben bleibt schleierhaft, die Foren überschlugen sich mit Lob.

Dann kam der Systemwechsel und Dunkle Zeiten brachen an.
Nunmehr entdecke ich Quick Folder wieder. Im Wissen, dass es eine eingeschränkte Testversion gibt - viel zu eingeschränkt - schaute ich nach den Preisen.
Eine einmaligen Preis - gut, den nähme ich hin. Aber ein Abomodell kommt grundsätzlich nicht in Frage. Und der angeschlagene Preis ist schlicht zu hoch angesetzt.

Ich habe mit mit dem Ausfall von Quack Folder arrangieren müssen. Einen Neuanfang aber bei so einem Griff in den Geldbeutel - das erspare ich mir wahrhaftig und mache weiter.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.4.1). 

New Folder Filters Button

Does not work…

Or does it? Filters will work automatically, so what benefit to start filtering by a button?

If Button would open filters dialogue ist shall be nice, because saving an annoying step to a not seldom used function.

Disable DragAndDrop (New)

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Not 5 stars due an then quite annoying issue.

If you need tot reorganize folder, and I can tell this an experience to so many other cases, you will no be satisfied after first trial.
So you turn Add-On off, entirely, do reorganisation, and scroll round to find it for reactivation. Not funny due auto resort of Add-Ons.
Then, another trial. Turning off an on again turns annoying. Next trial again.

Keeping tab of Add-On open, turn only it’s function off, do trials and turn it on just picking tab shall be a welcome improvement.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.0.0). 

Compact Headers

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Well, as long a to parts of the World a totally annoying short cut - Adt+D - is set an not to be changed, this Add-In mutants to totally useless.

Menu File is in German Datei, and always get’s it opened is sabotage to other working with ThunderBird.

So only on star due (typical) ruthlessness to other languages an countries.
A button to click as option, setting other short cut and there shall be 5 stars.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.0b14). 

Open With

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Not to say, that Python workaround is comfortable…

A hint, Python script file shall be palced in a folder relating to ThunderBird, and not somwehre else spinning around would be fine.

Anyway, 3 stars only because list of browsers is placed in a sub menu (cascaded menue) stops usability.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (7.2.5).
