Hello everyone,

that also was annoying me, I even avoided to use the search function because of this behaviour, what certainly is not effective. Now, I invested some time in hacking the installer, as you said. I edited the file "overlay.js" in the subfolder "content" in the extension's folder within my Thunderbird profile. I commented out the following lines, these are lines 281 to 285 in an unchanged "overlay.js" from TaQuilla version 0.3.2.

        //_addPercentColumn(tagkey);
        //gDBView.addColumnHandler("utaquillaPercent." + tagkey, _columnHandlerPercents[tagkey]);

        //_addStatusColumn(tagkey);
        //gDBView.addColumnHandler("utaquillaStatus." + tagkey, _columnHandlerStatuses[tagkey]);

After this change, I restarted Thunderbird. Now, the TaQuilla's custom columns do not appear. This at the same time is the disadvantage of the workaround: the columns now never appear.

A better solution would be to find the place, where the columns are added when the search bar is used. I wasn't able to find it, though.

It would be great, if you, rkent, as TaQuilla's developer could solve this problem directly!

Oh, I had to edit the file install.rdf, too, because my Thunderbird 8 suddenly stopped accepting TaQuilla as extension. I changed the number in "maxVersion" to 8.* to make it work. I hope there are no side effects because of the changes between Thunderbird 5 and 8. Perhaps you also have an answer to this question, rkent?

Thanks anyway for this great extension! I like it because it adds this filter functions I know from Opera.

Thanks,

beni
