Subject: [Sage] Sage goes (NULL) on directories.
Message-ID: <1233a1c30909151135o75ec177y59cb6be4c74225e8@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Peter,

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the latest (and maybe even previous)
release of Sage is nullifying the names of folders after you set it up
to work with a directory. Meaning that after Sage has been pointed at
a directory, after some time it enters a NULL value into places.sqlite
resulting in that directory appearing as "(no title)" later on for
anyone who happens to notice. Even worse, it's capable of doing this
for bookmark menu entries which users can't typically rename, for
example : "Bookmarks Toolbar" & "Bookmarks Menu", which if nullified
cannot (easily) be restored to their previously named values.

If you want to try and reproduce this for yourself, point Sage 1.4.3
at one of the above mentioned places on a fresh profile with some
folders full of dummy feeds and bookmarks. Then point Sage at a
folder, it may not do it at first few times so a restart might be
necessary after the selection or the next time you give Sage a new
directory to work from. But in the end you should wind up with a few
"(no title)" entries where previously named entries once existed.

I thought I was going crazy at first when I saw this, and since it was
only my "feeds" folder I decided to take Sage through the crash course
to see what else it can do and discovered some annoying consequences.
On the bright side, it's not too severe but annoying enough to warrant
a fix.
