Question for the developers here:
I'm using: Mozilla 1.2a
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910
I'm also using a similar Moz on Linux and WinXP. My 'fileserver' is on
my Linux machine, which is also my ADSL gateway, and there exists a
directory with group permissions for all here - available via Samba
server, and I place the newsrc files in a directory there.
This enables me to use Moz to read newsgroups whether I'm on the Linux
machine, the Windows machine (which has had the relevant directories
mounted) or my iBook running MacOS X. The problem is - and it's quite
possibly not at all a Moz problem, or it might be - is that I very often
start Moz on the iBook but forget to mount the relevant volume. This
results in Moz deciding that the painstaking effort I put into typing in
the paths (because you can't simply drag and drop the newsrc files)
would be in vain as it forgets those paths in favour of (unused) local
paths.
Wondering how it would be possible to make Moz hold those paths in a
more persistent manner, such that if I start it up without the drive
mounted (and this is quite frequent - I've even made the local newsrc's
an alias of the remote ones, which calls the mount dialog, but it's
still too late by then) it doesn't trash my settings, but simply looks
for them again next time?
Cheers.
