If 2.0.14 is the end of days, then I guess I'll just have to live that way or start using Safari/Thunderbird in combination. Assuming that what David said is indeed the case, the Mac version of SM I have in in fact 2.0.13 and it only SAYs it's 2.0.14 under the About SeaMonkey icon. I believe what David said above, because I had downloaded and used 2.0.14 directly, and Widgets WAS demonstrably broken. So this one that shows the duplicious identity really IS 2.0.13, and it works just fine for me, Widgets and all.

I'm not liking much of what I read about 2.1.x. The most definitive way to find out which version of any app you actually have installed (or at least what OS X thinks you have installed) is to open System Profiler and look under Applications. Takes longer, because it shows you everything you have on your machine...but worth a cross-check. One other thing you may have run across is that going directly from any of the 1.1.x versions without installing 2.0.0 first can screw stuff up - I've seen that, too. I always advise Mac users moving up to 2.0.x to install 2.0.0 first and let it do the migration, then install 2.0.x. -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
SM Get Info discrepancy
I have what I thought was SM 1.1.13 in my applications folder. I select Get Info from the Finder, and it says it's v.1.1.13. But, if I double click on it and open it, and I choose SeaMonkey/About SeaMonkey, the revision says it's 1.1.14. Why is this?

Finder/File/Get Info is a Mac feature similar to the Properties feature of Windows. I select a file, right-click, and select Properties from the pull-down context menu. Among the properties displayed for executable files is the version. In general, I would trust what you see from Finder/File/Get Info more than what you see from selecting [Help About SeaMonkey] on the SeaMonkey menu bar. That is because it is very easy to spoof a different version. However, I recall at least one instance of a new version of Mozilla Suite or SeaMonkey that was released to end users when the developers forgot to change the version number seen by Mac's Finder/File/Get Info and Windows' Properties. But I might be mistaken about that. -- David E.
