In the aftermath of 30119 it seems that we need to put up a dialog at the lowest level before deleting a profile to show what folder is about to be deleted to allow the user to abort the procedure, to prevent against foo caused by future updates to the profile manager. e.g. "you are about to delete all files and folders in the folder c:\foo, they will be unrecoverable. click cancel to abort this operation" or similar. (requested by jar)

beta1?

[PDT+] w/b minus on 3/7

Bhuvan, any update?

Working on this. Will have an update by tomorrow evening.

On backend, we are initialized before the hidden window activities are done. Common diaog services are based on having hidden window initialization. So, currently looking at the other alternative of passing the directory name to frontend for the confirmation....

I spoke to davidm regarding the chnages I can do in the backend using nsIPrompt. It is too destabilizing for beta for that changes. We can work this out via front end once we start using nsIRegistry and have GetProfileDir scriptable.

Once gayatri lands i18n changes, we should do this from the frontend as nsIRegistry can be used to query for directory name. Then a javascript confirm dialog can be put up. Will talk to ben regarding this one.

With gayatri's changes in, now nsIRegistry can be used to query the registry for profile directory name. A confirm dialog can be thrown with the obtained directory name. Displaying confirm dialog is much easier and convenient to achieve i18n compatability and to alter messgae as required. As per the directory name, we are getting it from the registry and it is accurate. Posting the patch (next update). Reassigning to ben.

Move to M16 for now ...

changing the component to front-end.

Putting on [nsbeta2+][6/01] radar. This work must be done by 06/01 or we may pull this for PR2.

some slight modification of delete profile dialog required + bhuvan's patch. Time to complete: 2 hours.

Changing from [6/01] to [6/15]

Move to M19.

Cleaning up status whiteboard by marking beta2 minus (6/15 has passed) Folks are too doomed to handle this for beta2

Per nav triage team: We have a dialog now. It's imperfect, but its good enough.

Starting in N4.7, the Delete profile dialog displayed the path of the profile about to be deleted. Adding 4xp keyword, nominating for nsbeta3.

nav triage team: taking this one for the gipper

replacing nsbeta2-

make that n*s*beta2-
