[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#783545: Doesn’t work, abandonned upstream

[David Prévot]

Package: xul-ext-automatic-save-folder
Version: 1.0.4-3
Severity: serious

Hi,

I was updating this package (to at least fix the watch file, but went a
bit further, see the wip branch I just pushed), but was not able to make
it work (even on a Jessie system with iceweasel 31.6.0esr-1).

The (annoyingly ever displayed) extra tab explains very well what should
be done, but I don’t get the Automatic Save Folder menu under the “What
should Firefox do with this file?” box.

Am I missing something?

There are similar complaints on the amo review page [1], so maybe it’s
“just” an incompatibility with recent iceweasel versions. Since upstream
maintenance ended [2], I’m not sure there is much to do to fix the
issue.

	2: http://asf.mangaheart.org/?menu=5&f=1&t=167

I even tried to fetch the latest version from the upstream VCS to see if
it works but didn’t get any further. Maybe the  <em:maxVersion>29.* from
install.rdf is to take seriously.

Please, do follow up if the extension works for you. Unless someone
objects, I’ll request a removal of this package in a few months (or
sooner depending on the feedback).

Regards

David
