Thunderbird in Haiku
I've build a BONE version of Thunderbird for testing. It seems to work well under Haiku, however I've noted one odd thing:
When Thunderbird is running and I launch Firefox, Thunderbird closes! If Firefox is running when Thunderbird starts - Firefox closes. Seems to happen at the point during launch when the app restarts. Fyysik, is this a bug worth reporting to the Haiku folks?

Isn't it case for same TB and FF builds in BeOS too? If so, we have wrong signature for one of then - not unique, but same as for other app.

using my re-ordered builds on r5bone, SM, FF, TB, and SB can be running at the same time with no apparent conflicts. Note: i've also applied the apprunner-beos.rsrc to SB.

It works fine in BeOS and Zeta

BUT the mimetypes have already been registered on my BeOS and Zeta systems. Haiku was a fresh install. I suspect something funky with the Thunderbird resource file because Firefox had been working fine.

I'll be doing a clean Haiku build from the nightlies tomorrow or Monday. I'll create a new Thunderbird and Firebird installer and try again with a clean install.

Fyysik, if this can be caused by a bad resource file, I probably screwed something up. Sometimes its tough to be a dog...

It may be screwed by resource file.
Also, did you look at name of process(es) rynnibg in Haiku for TB and Haiku?

look here
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/toolkit/xre/nsNativeAppSupportBeOS.cpp#215

this is place where it tries to get app_signature from binary
file, and if it fails, it assigns common one - "application/x-vnd.Mozilla" - so both apps will use that one - and both are single-launch programs - which allows only one instance running

I think we should remove that crap and replace it with some preprocessor programming (Who would think I'd suggest that) that sets the mimetype to a string depending on what is built. I'd suggest choking when it fails to detect what we are building so we fix it fast :)

something like "application/x-vnd.Mozilla$(PROGRAM)"
where $(PROGRAM) is : http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/browser/app/Makefile.in#65

note, if my re-ordering patches are landed, PROGRAM would not have "-bin".

Yes, something in that fashion could definatly work. XULRunner probably being the exception. Maybe use the old code for XULRunner only.

It might also be an issue with how Mozilla communicates internally. It is (or was) actually built to have a common Mozilla base for all apps.

Applies to *all* mozilla products running in Haiku.

in haiku r24784, i saw the same behavior.
one app either closing the other.
these are my re-ordered builds and the filetype information is identified before running and they all have proper app signatures.
