Hi,
I'm working on an extension for Thunderbird to sync its contacts with
DesktopCouch. It's based heavily on the Bindwood code. In the course
of my poking around, I noticed the following lines in sync.js (from line
101):
// create a randomly named tempfile in the tempdir
var tmpfile = Cc["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"]
.createInstance(Ci.nsILocalFile);
tmpfile.initWithPath(tmpdir.path + "/desktopcouch." +
Math.random());
tmpfile.createUnique(tmpfile.NORMAL_FILE_TYPE, 0600);
Now this is the first time I've done any hacking on Mozilla extensions,
so I might be totally wrong, but my understanding is that the above
would not be cross-platform compatible - which would be a shame, as it
would prevent me from syncing my bookmarks between work and home when we
get DesktopCouch working on Windows. Instead, I've taken the approach
of using the appendRelativePath method of nsILocalFile:
tmpfile.initWithPath(tmpdir.path);
tmpfile.appendRelativePath(desktopcouch." + Math.random());
As I said, I'm a complete n00b at this, so if the above is incorrect or
unnecessary then please let me know so I can learn from the experience.
Cheers,
JT
