ConfirmFolderMove

This is a Thunderbird add-on for confirming folder movement to avoid the pain of accidentally shifting an enormous IMAP folder out of place and the consequences of waiting for it to complete before correcting the mistake.

You should acquire it from addons.mozilla.org. Thanks to the hard work and commitment of folks at BabelZilla, the add-on is available in a wide variety of localizations.

Development

This is a Make based project. There are two main targets, one builds the XPI appropriate for deployment (all), the other builds an XPI for translation for upload to BabelZilla (babelzilla), which includes strings that are used in the install.rdf and addons.mozilla.org and consequently sit outside the normal flow of translation.

I consider this add-on feature complete.

Mechanism

Inspection of the source should reveal that this patches one method usually found in chrome://messenger/content/folderPane.js, gFolderTreeView.drop.

If anybody can help me get this committed to the actual Thunderbird code base so the add-on is no longer necessary, please let me know.
