Re: MozBackup problem with SeaMonkey (2.24)?
Le 25/02/2014 11:24, Ian Jackson a écrit :
After modifying the install.rdf file, I've now I've got
ImportExportTools working with SeaMonkey, so I've been playing at
importing and exporting.
One of the tests involved using MozBackup to back up a brand new virgin
SM ('as installed'), the importing a load of WLM emails. I then used
MozBackup again to back up the well-populated SM. As result, I had two
.pvc backup files for SM - one around 350kB, and the other around 800MB.
To try to get back to the virgin condition, I used Mozbackup to restore
the original profile - only to find all the imported emails were still
there. It had obviously NOT correctly restored the profile I wanted.
Further tests indicated that the restore function is additive, ie it
adds the restore profile to the current profile. I've checked that this
does NOT happen with Thunderbird, where the current profile is totally
deleted and replaced with the one you have chosen to restore.
I reckoned that a simple the way of persuading MozBackup Restore to give
you only the profile you wanted might be to prevent it from having
access to the current profile. A simple way of doing this is to sabotage
the path to the current profile by adding (say) 'STOP' to the SeaMonkey
folder name (in \Application Data). When I tried this, I indeed got the
virgin profile I wanted to restored (virgin, with no emails).
So.
Has anyone else experienced this oddity?
Mozbackup is working as if it was a simple copy of the profile content.
You could have erased the profile prior restoring.
I think Mozbackup is too simple but it can solve simple problems.

And it's really unnecessary for Linux or OS X systems to worry about details (for the most part). On either Linux or OS X, the contents of an entire SeaMonkey profile can be overwritten with another profile. In my case (a long while ago), moving from Slackware Linux to OS X was simply a matter of installing SeaMonkey, firing it up to create the default profile and then copying the old profile contents from the Linux box into the appropriate folder on the Mac. For the OP, however, I still recommend a profile migration, either from backup or from the old Mac's HDD. User migration on the Mac pulls not only user-land data but also automagically installs the applications from the old box onto the new one.

My default is first-party session cookies only (not ask), but when I first visited the Ebay site the other day, the setting for that domain was block all (evidently I'd been there before). In order to make it work (to complete my purchase), I had to accept their cookies, right? So I switched to use default cookie permissions and reloaded, which failed, because SM ignored the change and was still blocking all. Over and over I tried to switch to the default settings, and over and over SeaMonkey ignored my command. I eventually got it to work by switching to Allow Session Cookies -- SM doesn't ignore that. But I've seen this before, and forgotten it because it's so *^(* stupid -- SM will honor any of the other menu commands but always silently ignores Tools | Cookie Manager | Use Default Cookie Permissions. There's no chirp or error message or raspberry or middle finger, just silence. I don't get a popup or a dialog with OK/Cancel or anything. Just sullen, useless silence.
