I think most users would agree that correct behavior is to ask when it's
needed, and not at any random times.


Even developers agree on that - the real problem is how to get the 
current infrastructure to do that.

Happy with 2.0.1 now (Almost)

2009-12-15 Thread BeeNeR
Since my previous problems had disappeared, without any real solution,
I'm pretty happy with 2.0.1.

Only two things to complain about:
1.  No quick start button.  I really miss that!
2.  No way to disable having to enter a password when initializing SM
without deleting ALL web, password, certificates, etc. information.

I have nothing on my system that I would not be willing to share with my
minister or the FBI.  Unfortunately when I installed SM 2.0 I entered a
master password.  There should be a way, assuming the user HAS the
master password to deleted it without deleting anything else.

That said, since I installed SM2 into folders named Seamonkey2, can I
delete all folders named Seamonkey?

Gone for good, sorry.

Quoting from the Release Notes:

MailNews account password prompts are no longer serial at startup (Bug
338549)
Workaround: If a Master Password is set and you saved your login
credentials, only one prompt will appear at startup. You can disable
this new behavior by setting signon.startup.prompt to false in
about:config.

There is: Edit  Preferences  Privacy  Security  Master Passwords,
click Change Password..., enter your master password in the Current
password field, click OK.

Depends on where you have folders named Seamonkey and what you put in
them. ;-) If you mean the SM 1.1.x application directory: You might want
to check the dictionaries/, plugins/ and searchplugins/ folders and
initially only move instead of delete but other than that it can go.

Thank Jens - I mis-understood the entering new password feature.  I
though a new master password *had* to be entered.  And the only other
option was a *reset* which would have wiped out all my stored info.

Did as you suggested and am no longer asked for password (twice)on
starting SM.  Too bad about the 'quick start' feature though.
