BirdieSync installation affects Thunderbird Extensions
Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 4:42 pm
I just installed BirdieSync 2.0.0.1 and saw the same bug that appeared when I installed v 2.0.0.0. I use the MR Tech Tookit extension to enable some other Thunderbird extensions that have not yet been updated to run under Thunderbird v. 3.x - presumably it just updates the MaxVersion parameter. After installing BirdieSync these extensions are all greyed out and disabled again. Re-enabling with MR Tech toolkit and restarting Thunderbird restores everything to where it was. BirdieSync is working just fine. However, it might be a tad disconcerting to anyone who hasn't worked out why their extensions have suddenly failed, and needs fixing in a future release.
I also noticed that after installation the BirdieSync icon in the Taskbar (Windows 7 Home premium) disappeared, and the Windows Mobile Device Centre icon re-appeared (I had the latter suppressed). The icon was also missing from the Birdiesync entry in the Notifications Area Icons settings in Windows. I restarted Windows and the icon reappeared. This may be nothing to do with BirdieSync install itself as I had also updated and re-installed Avast! antivirus after BirdieSync, so it might have been that - but, for what it's worth, I thought I'd mention it in case it was of any help.

Bob
