Tag Popup for Thunderbird 102

Sorry to have kept you waiting. Tag Popup now supports Thunderbird 102. It not only fixes glitches on TB102 but also adds new functionalities. This post briefly shows the new features.

Download Tag Popup (v2.1.6 and after supports TB102)


Copy&Paste tags

You can copy tags assigned to a message and paste them to others. There are the following 3 ways to do that:
  1. Copy and paste buttons in the message header
  2. Context menu on the thread pane
  3. Keyboard shortcut
    Ctrl+Shift+C for copy and Ctrl+Shift+V for paste by default.

If you don't need the buttons in the header, the buttons can be hidden. Uncheck the "Show copy/paste buttons" in the Tag Popup option. Shortcut keys are also customizable.


Tagging of sent messages

It was available in Tag Toolbar and got many request to add to Tag Popup. From Tag Popup 2.3.2, the functionality is supported. Please note it requires TB102.3.0 or after because it needs new API recently added.

After the new Tag Popup installed, the Tags field added to the message composition window. Click the tags you want to add to the message. Tag Popup also adds the Tags button in the window. You can assign tags from the button too. Then, after you send the message, the message stored in Sent folder has the tags you specified.

If you don't need the tags list, hide it by unchecking "Show tags list in the message composition window" option.

Dark theme support

A popup and option will be switched to black based coloring when you use dark theme.

Others

Some improvements also added.
  • Improve redrawing process of the tags list in the message header
  • Remove the UI elements Tag Popup added when you disable the add-on
  • Remove tabs and activeTab permission
  • Remove unneccessary log outputs
  • Tags can be toggled in the message window's tags list

Message Header Toolbar Customize for Thunderbird 102

Message Header Toolbar Customize v2.3.x supports Thunderbird 102. This post shows modifications and new feature of the new version.

Download:

Way of opening customize window

It is the same as the older versions but some notification exist.
  • From context menu
    Context menu appears only on the original toolbar buttons. Buttons added by other add-ons and other area of the message header do not show it. It is due to the change of the structure of the header.
  • From More menu button
    Thunderbird 102 adds own customize menu so it is just mistakable. The "Customize..." is for Thunderbird, on the other hand,  "Customize Toolbar" is for the add-on.

Button style configuration

Thunderbird 102 can change the button style. However, it cannot set style for each button individually. So, the style option in Message Header Toolbar Customize is removed but only the "Individual" mode remains.

The option of the add-on is changed as the following image. Button style configuration consists of "Follow Thunderbird's setting" and "Setup individual".

If you want to set style only some buttons, not all, select the latter option. Please note, as the option window says, the style of TB side need to be set as Icons and text. Otherwise, an empty icon may appear.
Another notice is about Starred button, which is newly added in Thunderbird 102. The button cannot be set as "Icons and text" and "Text" style for the individual mode because it does not have a label.

Show/hide option, reordering and renaming buttons are the same as the previous versions. And the changes of the style option is not applied to the Quick filter customization.

Calendar buttons configuration

Thunderbird 102 newly has Spaces toolbar and calendar and tasks buttons are move to there. So, options to hide the buttons are removed from the add-on. Option to hide "Today pane" button is moved to the customize window for the message header. Please note.

New toolbar buttons

The following buttons are added. It is hidden by default.
  • Redirect: redirect the message
  • Source: show source of the message
  • Save As: save the message as a file
  • View: change view mode
    • Original HTML
    • Simple HTML
    • Plain Text
    • All Body Parts *1
  • Header: expand the header view for more information

*1) All Body Parts will appear when "mailnews.display.show_all_body_parts_menu" is set to true by Config Editor.

Moving star button

Thunderbird 102 adds star button to the message header toolbar. You can move it beside the subject field by the add-on. Enable the "Move the star button next to the subject" option in the message header customize window for this.

I hope this new version helps you as it did with Thunderbird 91.
