(Whiteboard: [PDT+] Must fix by 03/03)

Do to a recent optimization you can no longer query on individual files for their file path. The approved meathod to query the Package for its file path. The problem is that we are not saving the package folder. We need to save the package folder in the version registry.

Doug, can you be more specific? I need to know what error occurs if I don't do my fix. I've installed psm.xpi with and without the call to setPackageFolder(). I didn't see a difference. Can you also tell me the environment I need to have (like a clean Netscape registry or something...). Dan mentioned that you had to checkin a fix to setPackageFolder() for this to work. Has this been checked in yet? Is there a bug already filed to update the psm.xpi installer or is this it?
ssu, see bug 28949.
fix checked in.
