![]() ![]() I guess that this information could help a lot. That's why I initially asked you which files are written by the add-on on the disk (and on which folder), because I just wanted to try to delete them so I could completely uninstall and install back the add-on starting with completely clean preferences. I don't know what brakes the notifications after a while on thunderbird portable, but what is sure is that after a thunderbird update it always starts to work again. Recently the notifications from one of the two laptop stopped to work for some months once again (and the same happened in the past) but each time it got fixed by iteself simply after Thunderbird autoupdated with the latest patch. ![]() I have multiple entries like that in the windows notification settings program list of the same windows installation, but I don't know if this is the result of the fact that this string changes from time to time or, instead, to the fact that I may have done some tests in the past from some different thunderbird portable programs. The name of the application (written with a small font in the last line of the notification pop-up, but also listed in the program list of the windows notification settings menu) is never Thunderbird but, istead, always consists of apparently random characters like DCAD1B5AE66EDD07, 79D06C0435F427DA, 8A69C2F324A5A995 and so on. I believe you can try gnotifier on thunderbird portable yourself, at the beginning it probably works ok out of the box. In this right moment Gnotifier is able to properly trigger the notifications from both thunderbird portable programs and I'm regularly using it in the same way since a long time (I believe since more than one year). I just did some tests again on two different laptops running windows 10.īoth of the laptop never had thunderbird installed. Well, that and the fact that my day-to-day interactions with Windows are now centered a Win 7 box that my current client gave me which I can't use Thunderbird on. Until then, there's not much I can do to help, because officially it shouldn't have worked in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft was testing this new feature in some builds on Windows 10 and plan to officially support it soon. So while it's awesome that the notifications work with portable apps, it's not an officially documented behavior. But's it's disconcerting because the official documentation explicitly states an application must have an entry in the Start Menu with an AppUserModelID defined on the shortcut. It made creating plugins for other applications a pain because not all applications set an AppUserModelID during installation. Awesome because that limitation was extremely annoying to develop around, and I'm very happy to see it removed. Although it is an interesting That is both very awesome and very disconcerting to hear. Thank you very much again for this great add-on and keep up the good The Windows version of doesn't use tray popups to display notifications. Would it be possible to know which files should I remove from the local thunderbird profile to start with a fresh installation of the add-on? I tried to uninstall and reinstall the add-on but apparently while uninstalling some config files still remain on the profile because when I install the add-on again from the xpi my old settings are still there (the list of folders to allow the notification from, for example).ĭo you have an idea why the add-on is working when I start thunderbird portable on a machine but doesn't work on a similar but different W10 machine? The extension works great on a first windows 10 machine (thank you so much, it's so great to have native notifications working!) but when I move the portable folder on another windows 10 machine (fresh win10 installation) the notifications don't work (and testing the notifications from the option panel doesn't produce any visual output at all). ![]() I installed this great add-on on a portable version of Thunderbird (official version from ). ![]()
