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

Thank you very much for this addon, that has helped me for years.

But today I updated to Thunderbird 128 and now the coloring of messages in cards view is not working anymore. I found a [bug report](https://hogi.sakura.ne.jp/hiki/?Ticket-449) but no solution or workaround. Is there any chance getting this fixed?

I'm a programmer myself. I could volunteer to help to fix this, if there is a way to achieve this...

... I created a workaround via userChrome.css, see [bug report](https://hogi.sakura.ne.jp/hiki/?Ticket-449). HTH

I suggest that the order of tags in message view does not change on toggle tag. Right now when you mark some of the tags as active, they are moved to the first position in the list.
