Troubleshooting hang on close?
I'm running Seamonkey on Windows 8.1 64-bit, with 8 GB RAM. It never closes cleanly, whenever I close it, it winds up remaining in memory consuming about 460 MB or so, and I have to kill the process. Consequently, none of the 'remember setting on next startup' features work, i.e. reopening closed tabs, or remembering the position of the split pane in the mail client. I don't know if it's because of an extension or something else, but is there a way to troubleshoot faulty extensions without creating a fresh profile and reinstalling them one by one? - If you're afraid of loneliness, do not marry. -- Anton Chekhov - ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Not the inspired by Chrome, Firefox style versioning system please!
Firefox went from version 4 to version 5 in less than 2 months - in imitation of Google Chrome, who seem to be incrementing the version every other week. Please tell me Seamonkey isn't going to do the same thing so that by the end of the year we're up to version 3.5 or 4, and 5 by next year. Last week I updated to 2.1, and now barely a month later you're on 2.2, and looks like 2.3 is a few weeks away..compared to when 2.0 debuted last September and went on up to 2.0.14 for the minor fixes. I can see 2.1 has major new features and changes relative to 2.0x, but what about between 2.1 and 2.2? Shouldn't this be a minor update to 2.1?

TB vs SM for a non technical user
Ever since I started using Seamonkey 2.x, I've been torn between using it and Firefox + Thunderbird, so I use all 3. I've used Firefox since 0.6, and have numerous extensions I can't live without. Thunderbird 3.1 is really great, with threaded conversation view and so on. SM beats both of them by being tightly integrated and taking up less memory. I want to set up an email client for my father who is not quite a tech savvy user. He primarily uses GMail for mail, and as of now just accesses the site directly via a mostly barebones Firefox installation. From what I've seen on this group, most Seamonkey users are power users, or Netscape Communicator fans who miss having an all in one client. Seamonkey itself has quite a few complicated features over Firefox and the preferences UI can be daunting for an average user. Would it make sense to switch him over to Seamonkey and setup his Gmail account via IMAP, as opposed to installing Thunderbird?

Question about behavior of 'Get new messages'
The 'get new messages' button has a drop down to choose a specific account. What is supposed to happen when you just click it? My problem is I have a Gmail IMAP account and a separate pop account that I haven't checked in over a year. I don't want it to download everything into 'local folders', so till now I've been just doing a drop-select for gmail. Here's my understanding of how it might work- 1) If an account or a subfolder is selected in the tree view, 'get messages' will only get them for the selected account. 2) It always fetches everything. Which of the above is right? As an aside- is there a way to exclude an account from being included when I click 'get messages' (so that it only happens if I select it from the dropdown) ? Said account already has automatic mail check every x minutes disabled. - All science is either physics or stamp collecting. -- E.

After running Windows Update last night, which included patches to some MS Office programs, I found (as usual) that Micro$#!+ had stolen my default browser and email settings. So I set them back. But it turns out that one machine has SeaMonkey Mail as the default newsgroup reader, and the other has Outhouse Distress, and doesn't even offer SM as an option. I've poked around in Control Panel | Internet Options | Programs and in Set Program Access and Defaults, and I can't see how to fix it. Nor does SM seem to have its own way of testing and changing the setting. Any ideas? Telling Seamonkey to make itself the default newsreader doesn't work? In SM 2.0 there's the option to do that..dunno if possible in 1.x because I've never used it. Another workaround could be to remove OE from 'add/remove windows components' if you aren't using it. Maybe it sets itself as default newsreader always. - It's supposed to be unhappy.

Re: How hard is it to port FF extensions..?

Bug:Dragging a link to addressbar simply appends it to existing URL.
I like how one can select a text link on a page and drag it to the tab bar for it to open in a new tab- or drag an existing link to do the same. However when I try dragging a link to the address bar (to make it open in the current tab), it just gets appended there. Let's say I'm on www.example.com, and there's a link to www.anothersite.net When I drag the link to addressbar, the text there changes to: http://www.example.comhttp://www.anothersite.net This feature works fine in Firefox, I've used it several times there.

'Replies to my messages' view for newsgroups?

Binary multipart attachment download from newsgroups?
Is it possible to do in Seamonkey? I remember in Outlook Express, you could select all the messages representing a binary file, and use an option called 'combine and download' or something. Can one do that in Seamonkey?

Bug: SM 2.0 went *poof* on expanding a newsgroup folder..
This has happened to me twice so far- first while expanding a newsgroup with the view set to 'unread messages' I was left looking at the crash reporter window. The second time was with my Gmail IMAP account, folder view again set to unread only. FWIW, the news server uses an encrypted connection.

Re: Locking Cookies?
David E. Ross wrote: Is there some way to lock the cookies so that subsequent browsing does not change existing entries? With SM 1.1.x, I originally set cookies.txt to read-only. When a bug was introduced that caused read-only settings to be ignored, I then created a backup file called cookies.bak.txt; before launching SM, I would execute a script that would copy cookies.bak.txt over cookies.txt. Since cookies are now in an squlite database, this won't work. This is especially wanted while I browse bug reports in the bugzilla.mozilla.org database. I had a set of default cookies that caused Bugzilla to display in a certain way. If I changed a display, it would be only for that one session. Now if I change a display, that becomes the default display the next time I enter Bugzilla because my cookies are changed. For example, when I login, I want the short Find a Specific Bug display. However, if the last thing I did was run an advanced search, my next login gives me the long Advanced Search display. As another example, I want the default for query lists to be by bug number. If I do a sort on status, that now becomes my default. How can I lock a set of default cookies so that they will be in effect the next time I launch SeaMonkey? I saw an extension called CookieSwap, perhaps it may help solve the problem.You can get it from here: https://www.mozdev.org/projects/overview/xsidebar/ -- The first million is the hardest. -- Cornelius Vanderbilt ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Seamonkey 2.0: Download manager takes ages to open
The first time after launching Seamonkey 2.0 on Windows, hit ^J to open the download manager, and Seamonkey freezes up for almost a minute before it opens. Subsequent closing/reopening the download manager works fine. This is also seen when clicking a link to download the first time..it takes ages before the window opens and the download starts.

Another question about download manager
(I'm also 'Rex King' who posted just before this) At first glance, it seems pretty comprehensive compared to the one on Firefox- and I considered ditching 'DownThemAll!' which I've been using on Firefox for a long time. But it doesn't appear to support multi-segment downloading..can someone confirm? Also, the ability to sort downloads automatically into subfolders based on a regex would be nice (i.e. what the Download Sort extension for FF does) -- Technology is a word for something that doesn't work yet -- Douglas Adams ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
