Lightning vs. Sunbird

Submitted by dallen on November 30, 2006 - 11:45pm

The above link takes directly to a related topic that highlights a problem that I had with Sunbird. This problem contributed to my becoming aware of Lightning. I now have a couple of questions about Lightning.

First, is there any significance to the fact that the problems discussed in the aforementioned topic that occurred with Sunbird do not occur using Lightning?

Second, what are the primary differences between Lightning and Sunbird, as I notice a significant difference in the size of the two applications? (I understand that some of the difference can be attributed to the fact that one is a stand alone program whereas the other is merely an extension, but does this explain the entire difference in size or are there more substantive differences?)

Sunbird: Time Discrepency

Time Discrepancy

During the creation of an “event,” using the latest version of Sunbird (PortableApps via the new suite which I love by the way), a serious issue occurs. The creation of an event requires that one name it, select the date of the occurrence, and associate it with start and end times. The times are problematic. For example, when I say I want to schedule my final exam for December 7, 2006 starting at 8:30 AM and ending the same day at 12:30 PM the event is created. However, on that date the calendar shows “Final Exam 9:30 AM.” When I place my cursor over the event it shows the times as 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM.

Error in the Sunbird Launcher ?

I am looking in the SunbirdPortable.nsi and i think there is a problem in it.

At line 117, we have ReadEnvStr $APPDATAPATH "APPDATA"
And, after that, on line 198, there is something like this
IfFileExists "$APPDATA\Mozilla\Sunbird\*.*" CheckIfRunning

Assuming the syntax of ReadEnvStr
the Environment variable will be stored into $APPDATAPATH variable

So the line 198 (and some others near line 383) would be
IfFileExists "$APPDATAPATH\Mozilla\Sunbird\*.*" CheckIfRunning

Sunbird: snooze button

Hi,
first thanks for you work on the portable Apps! It's really great.
When I downloaded Sunbird 0.3 I did not get a "snooze for X minutes" button after an alarm showed. Does anybody else not have the button? Is it a bug?
Thanks,
I.
