Linux build 2002 02 08 21 In the Advanced Preference panel, the disk cache folder should be editable. - more aesthetic (symmetry with Memory cache and disk cache) - possibility to reset to the default cache by deleting all the folder field - all the cache path could be seen What are your thoughts?

this is not a bug

Sure it is, since you can't clear it out to reset it. (It's clear by default, before you set a custom location)

Not a dupe, it's on a seperate issue from that bug.

This has been discussed in detail already and it has been decided to make the field readonly. Go to bug 46490 for the gory details. Resetting the path is being discussed there, too. Reresolving as DUPLICATE. If you disagree first read that bug top to bottom. I have, I coded the patch. P.S.: You can see all the Cache path. Just try selecting it with your mouse. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 46490 ***

Reopening this. See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46490#c134

Sending to xul for now for creation of the widget I outlined, but I'll probably take this sometime in the near future (when that readonly field bugs me enough ;)

Pasting Blake's comment from bug 46490 here for easy reference: Also, I read through the bug with regards to making the field editable (per request in bug 124635) but I didn't see any solid reasoning, except ease of implementation. Since we allow users to edit paths elsewhere in the app, and sine Windows lets people do it, such a decision really doesn't make sense in the long run. I agree with Simon that we should be using xbl here to facilitate use of the common textbox/path button combination. The field could be smart about being readonly on mac, handle path validation (the issue that seems to be causing the most trouble here), and so forth, all in a consistent manner. But I'll reopen bug 124635 to handle that.
