Same with me, Mark, and by the time I've switched back to the

The install instructions are to open Tools and select Extensions and

Oh, you are almost there. You already have the folderpane.xpi file, and
you already know where the Add-On Manager is.
Now:
- Open the Add-On Manager.
- Click on the second icon (Extensions) -- the one that looks like a

- Click on the Install button on the lower left.
- Select the folderpane.xpi file from where you saved it (apparently

Is it still possible using SM2 WebBrowser part to open the

YMMV, but in any case, if we would not

Why ?


The Gecko 1.8 branch was abandoned by the Mozilla Core devs a long, long
time ago. Only security and stability patches were then backported to
that branch, not by Mozilla but by Linux distributors with long lived
branches, but even that source of bug fixes seem to have dried up in the
middle of 2009. Without a SeaMonkey 2.0 to migrate our users to.
SeaMonkey would have died on the wine before the end of 2009.

That's why the original plan to release SeaMonkey 2.0 in sync with
Thunderbird 3.0 became fatal when Mozilla Messaging kept pushing back
their release schedules, and pushing and pushing, until January 2010. So
we took the decision to release SeaMonkey 2.0 at around Thunderbird
3.0b4 with the risk of a slightly unstable mailnews backend. But as the
alternative was to let SeaMonkey die it wasn't really a choice.


You will say the same after switching to SM 2.1 ?


Unfortunately we may be forced to do that as well. Chrome seems to have
lit a fire under the Firefox devs and they plan to abandon the 3.5
(Gecko 1.9.1) branch once Firefox 3.6 is out in early 2010 and Firefox
3.7 in late 2010.

We had originally planned to keep 2.0 as our current branch for most of
2010. However it looks like we will need to release a 2.1 based on 1.9.2
(Firefox 3.6) somewhere in summer this year whether we like it or not.

History search function

2010-01-10 Thread jim
Sometime back, i had to use IE for a while and noticed something about its
history search function.

I could search for a remembered text fragment in the http url and if found
it would bring up the original url that contained that text fragment --
though the text fragment was not in the URL.

It apparently searched its cache files.

That type of history search would be a nice-to-have for Seamonkey.

Some do, some do not, unfortunately. We'll be trying to get in contact
with the add-ons community even more to encourage them to make their
work available for SeaMonkey as well, but even though we have probably
about a million users, we naturally are standing in the shadow of the
mass-market Firefox with its 200-300 million users.

Still, with SeaMonkey 2, it's much easier to get Firefox add-ons to work
with SeaMonkey, and we hope more and more add-ons will do that.

One for example is the theme SkyPilot Classic. It was my favorite them 
but it has an issue with QuoteColors I've posted on the Projectit.com

was my default Theme. Now I've had to use something else because of the 
incompatibility. The quotecolors vendor even tested and found it was a 
defect in SKyPilot.

Yes, provided the update does not make incompatible extensions you are
not prepared to do without ... Some extensions' author may have trouble
updating as fast as the main product does. A point to consider and an
important one, given the pivotal role customizing plays in the
popularity of those products.



Install MrTech extension that way you can block the compatibility check.
 Most that have been altered to work on SM 2 simply need the  version

Fortunately now that we have made the big move from the old XPFE backend

The ability to import/migrate *some* data (I think global history) from
1.x profiles will be lost in 1.9.2. We had hoped to have most of our 1.x
users migrated to SeaMonkey 2.0 before switching to 2.1. As a workaround
I guess we can make a release note for 1.x users to upgrade to 2.0 first.

Other than that 1.9.2 is a significant improvement which will enable us
to do more fancy stuff (if only we had the developers to do it of course).

I hope So.
 in case above both post on the Forums and post directly to tech

was mention because someone else took upon themselves port SkyPilot to

 You wouldn't see this if you didn't have a preview pane set open and 
browse messages by opening them - I think it's really called the Message 
Pane, looking at the menu options.


I use Classic View for Mail/News - if you have a Message Pane open 
browsing a subscription, go to the pane that displays the option links 
for account settings, search, etc. by selecting the Account name and 
open a tab from there; the tab will open to the same page/selection.


Once you select a subscription to view the Message Pane is snapped shut 
and you have to drag it back open - in both tabs.  The display setting 
for the Message Pane is not remembered and/or carried forward for the 
next tab.

If they work properly I love auto updates. In the past I've seen where

On Mac its a piece of cake to replace the application with another 
version Drag the old application Icon (which is actually the entire 
application to trash open the .DMG file (Disk Image) drag the new 
version to application folder , double click to open and your set.




I don't mind auto updates if they give me a notice and choice to say no 
to them - I just trashed Google Chrome for that reason...stealth 
updates.  I don't like that about Google Earth either, but I'm putting 
up with it just because I mostly trust where it's coming from and who's 
doing it - but I don't like the way they're doing it.


Yeah - manual updates on a Mac are a breeze.  And I recently grabbed a 
couple (free!) Widgets that will review and check all of my installs 
(both apps and widgets) and let me know what the latest versions are and 
link me to where I can grab them.

Can't figure out where SM2 is keeping datas to prompt me to log in twice for usenet/news server.

Hello!

I am trying to redo my nntp.earthlink.net usenet/newsgroup setup so I 
can log in with only one prompt since it requires me to enter my e-mail 
address and its password. However, I am still getting two login prompts.


I removed this account, deleted this specific account files and

Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\whatever123.default\News\, checked my 
prefs.js file (no signs of the old ones I just deleted), etc. After 
restarting SM and making a new acount, I still see the same problem. Am 
I mising something else to clean/delete?


I do not have this problem on my new office machine with 64-bit Windows 
7 HP (Dell OEM) with a clean install and setup from scratch. I am using 
an old, updated Windows XP Pro. SP3 at home that has the problems. I did 
NOT upgrade/migrate from SM v1.1.18 (just did a clean install and setup 
from scratch).


Thank you in advance. :)

Well, let me put it this way: SM now is using the same infrastructure as
Firefox and Thunderbird, and plans on keeping doing so.

If FF+TB ever decide to change their profiles substantially so that a
profile migration will be necessary, *they* will have to solve that
headache first. And it will be a *big* headache, since there are
hundreds of millions of Firefox users out there. Personally, I think
they will try to find ways to make it work with the current profiles.

Even if a migration is needed, by the time the need to migrate reaches
Seamonkey (SM can wait a few months to a year before migrating without
much of a problem) the migrating subroutines will be very well debugged.

So, while there *might* be future profile migrations some time in the
far future (although none in the perceived horizon), it should be way
less traumatic than this one.

 Because we do have too little build power to do release builds as well,

4. Replaced places.sqlite on m2 with m1 copy.

5. started SM2 on M2.

6.  Result of intended operation -- failure PLUS.
The PLUS was that not only did I have no bookmarks transferred *but* the
personal toolbar was also locked *and* that the personal toolbar was now
locked to drag  drop items from the Navigation window.

(The profile copy was successful since the Adblock icon now appeared on
Personal toolbar -- and was operable -- of M2 browser and all subfolders,
filters and mail were present and operable in M2 SM email client.)

End initial attempt at elegant symphony.  :-)
(it should have worked)

Enter Plan B:

1. Export bookmarks from M1 to file (bookmarks.html) on shared folder on
M1.
2. Import bookmarks to M2 (using manage bookmarks)

3. For that session, there were 536 objects in bookmark manager and
bookmarks did exist from toolbar call of bookmarks but not on Personal
Toolbar.

4. I unset and reset bookmarks toolbar as personal toolbar.
Result:  Personal toolbar populated with proper bookmarks and folders.

BUT

When i closed and reopened SM on M2, all bookmarks had disappeared.


(I did Plan A and Plan B complete operations several times)

Any ideas?

That's a 32bit build (i686) running on a 64bit (x86_64) machine.

Right, a 64bit build looks like this:
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US;
rv:1.9.1.8pre) Gecko/20100108 Lightning/1.0b1 SeaMonkey/2.0.3pre




Oh!! Well that then prompts the question

Where can I find true 64 bit versions??

Fortunately now that we have made the big move from the old XPFE backend
to the new toolkit, subsequent upgrades won't be as traumatic. If things
work out upgrades will be as seamless as Firefox upgrades. For one thing
there will not be any more profile migrations.

You mean if the is a 3, 4, 5, 6 and so on of SM  That it will just read
your current Profiles?? If so that would be wonderful Just install the
new application and star right where you left off.



Well, let me put it this way: SM now is using the same infrastructure as
Firefox and Thunderbird, and plans on keeping doing so.

If FF+TB ever decide to change their profiles substantially so that a
profile migration will be necessary, *they* will have to solve that
headache first. And it will be a *big* headache, since there are
hundreds of millions of Firefox users out there. Personally, I think
they will try to find ways to make it work with the current profiles.

Even if a migration is needed, by the time the need to migrate reaches
Seamonkey (SM can wait a few months to a year before migrating without
much of a problem) the migrating subroutines will be very well debugged.

So, while there *might* be future profile migrations some time in the
far future (although none in the perceived horizon), it should be way
less traumatic than this one.



Hurray! No more Worrying about something breaking (fingers and toes, and 
legs, Crossed).

Re: Installing SM v.2.x in a HD Partition OTHER Than c:\

2010-01-10 Thread HenriK

HenriK wrote:
My memory is that a workaround was required when one wanted to have SM 
v.1.x installed in a HD partition other than c:\.


Does SM v.2.x also require some sort of a workaround if one desires it 
to be installed in a HD partition other than c:\?  If so, where do I 
find the instructions for the workaround?


Thanks in advance for the assistance.



I am very appreciative of the good advice but I still am not doing 
something right or am a bit thick in the head.


I copied the original profile location under 'Documents and Settings' on 
my c:\ drive (all of the stuff in the folder that has what appears to be 
a randomly generated name) and then pasted it to the partition where I 
really want these files to reside.  I further pointed SeaMonkey e-mail 
to the new location.


What has happened is quite weird.  The mail now goes to the new location 
but the address book and the bookmarks (and perhaps other things) have 
remained in the original 'Documents and Settings' folder on my c:\ drive.


Can anybody suggest what I might have done wrong and suggest a fix for 
the problem?


Thanks, in advance, for suggestions and comments.

Well, if you need such a version, you surely have a 64bit machine to run
it on. And with such a machine you could build a 64bit version by your
own and give Robert a link to it, so that he could upload it for others. :-P
