I have not noticed this message before. Does it refer to sync?
I guess I will get my own answer soon if that is the case.

Well, it is clearly nothing to do with sync. I guess it is just an oversight.
I thought it might be a mod that removes the triangle icons, but it is not that either.

@Gwen-Dragon Reported bug as:
(VB-60695) Bookmark Panel Toolbar displays (needs upgrade)

Logging out of sync, then logging in again seems to have fixed the issue.
Unfortunately, that produced a second issue. I lost all of my custom thumbnails.
-
@Pesala I confirmed internally as well.

That's a new info.
You should update the VB-60695. I don't use custom thumbnails thus I can'tcanhelp.
Thx -
@lamarca I created a new bug report.

If you mean the cloud at the left bottom, I can not confirm. Tested on Stable as well

Is sync supposed to include custom thumbnails? Custom thumbnails are specified using any local path, unlike thumbnails that are created by the browser which get saved inside the user's profile. So a custom thumbnail can be pointing to a file in a location that doesn't exist anywhere except on the machine that created it, e.g. an external USB drive. If those custom thumbnails get synced to any other machine they won't work, so it seems like syncing them is just wasted data.

Do you have the bug number? Please, post here.

No bug # I just posted it to the forum.

Thank you.

@lamarca Not on stable; only on Windows Snapshot

@bonetone Custom thumbnails are not (yet) included in sync, though it has been requested. They are stored locally but should not be affected by sync being disabled. That bug is fixed already internally.
There is no reason why local thumbnails could not be uploaded to the sync server for sharing, but we might need settings to include a local path for custom thumbnails (and Windows backgrounds).
-
@Pesala just in case.

Due to undesirable restriction. In the past, Notes + attachments were not apart. They are (hard) working on image ....

Well that might explain why I'm unable to reference local paths when trying to load custom JS files in browser.html. I wanted to store them elsewhere on my machine rather than next to the browser.html file, but trying every kind of URI could not get the files to be picked up. Although, the speed dials can pick up images, so I'm not really sure what the reason is, just that I can't do it.
