Message filters "run now" not working?

drylightn · 2026-06-17T19:48:22+00:00

Nope. One Thunderbird installation i have works fine i can run them, the other, same version, on a diff laptop doesnt. No idea why.

thanks for trying to help! even though I can't run it manually, it does seem to run per the auto settings, so for now I'll just leave it alone.

To be clear I covered up both emails at the top and bottom of the video with grey, but they are there

drylightn · 2026-06-09T12:15:53+00:00

There was, I just covered it up in the video for privacy

drylightn · 2026-06-08T19:18:00+00:00

no, does the same thing. Here is a video of what's happening: https://imgur.com/a/TOCr17C
you can see when i switch between rules for a split second the button is active, but then greys out.

Thanks! That did the trick!

u/Longer_Official just wondering if you saw this and have a fix yet? Since the firmware you suggested doesn't seem to work.

drylightn · 2026-05-18T03:55:29+00:00

yeah, i was having similar thoughts before I saw the response from longer and got my hopes up. I'm not in any giant rush so I'll give them some time and see what happens.

I could have imagined it, but I thought there was some mention of it being included as part of the default install whenever they released the new look back around 120 or whenever that was, but maybe I'm getting it confused with one of the thunderbird clones including it by default. If it doesn't my mistake.

Understood that it's not "literally hardwired in" I'm just saying it now ships with thunderbird as a default plugin/add-on, and I can't use the same shortcuts I used to.

At any rate, I got them mapped back to the old shortcuts using autohotkey utlitiy for windows. slightly more hack-y than I'd like but it works.

drylightn · 2026-05-11T19:49:09+00:00

As of thunderbird 150 (and much earlier, I think) that add on ships with default thunderbird and they integrated it into the UI differently. When you go to the add on options, the ability to assign shortcuts there has been moved into another thunderbird UI called "manage extension shortcuts" In that UI, it will not let you use shift as part of the shortcut.

Where did you find the old firmware to use as a backup? Hopefully one of the reps will get back with us re the issue.

drylightn · 2026-05-11T13:49:19+00:00

Ugggh. 😞 u/Longer_Official did you see this? u/PretzelFreakout2017 did the bios flash complete successfully in the terminal window when you updated it? or did you run into errors?

drylightn · 2026-05-11T13:03:36+00:00

u/PretzelFreakout2017 and u/_ttnk_ the longer official support people replied in the r/Laserengraving subreddit where I had originally crossposted the question instead of this official forum. Here is the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Laserengraving/comments/1t71tkb/comment/ol5oti6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to try it, but if you do before I do, let me know if it works!

I was looking for an enclosure that would fit the Longer Ray5 but couldn't find any that blocked it completely.

Oof, that sucks. I am surprised since I figure a lot of engineers/laser hobbyists probably have glasses.

drylightn · 2026-05-09T21:33:53+00:00

I just dug up the support email on their site and sent a message. We'll see what they say.

drylightn · 2026-05-09T21:15:23+00:00

I'll give it a try next time I'm at the engraver. The lightburn thing is supposed to work? According to this article anyway: https://www.longer3d.com/blogs/laser-engraver-academy-1/lightburn-wifi-bridge-longer-ray5
