Composer is just maintained. There will be no enhancement.
You should use http://bluegriffon.org/


Looks like bluegriffon hasn't been changed in two years.
Hard to believe that it was perfected that long ago.


BlueGriffon is still at least a dozen years newer than Composer.

No word count, but he might want to take a look at Thimble.

https://thimble.webmaker.org/en-US



Can you have security problems of that nature when editing local html?



I have no idea.

I now use an IDE called Geany to do what little HTML composing I do.

I can preview that file in Firefox, use its developer tools to make changes, 
and watch them change ala WYSIWYG. It does have a bit of a learning curve.

Yes, and the spell check works very nicely.

Somewhere I recall a utility that lets you add Word Count to the right-click 
context menu.  This will enable me to shade the entire document, right-click, and get a 
word count.  If memory serves me correctly, it was a Windows utility.  I wonder if 
there's such a thing for Linux.  I'll have to check it out.

WordCount was/is an extension for SeaMonkey (and Firefox), which was
superceded by WordCountPlus. I don't think any work has been done on the
extension since 2008, though I still occasionally use it in
browser-panels that don't include a word-limit counter. I haven't had a
need for it in the Composer for some time.
http://wordcountplus.mozdev.org/
This link should get you the latest modified XPI to work in your current
SeaMonkey Browser, but I personally, cannot get the right-click
menu-item, to so much as show in my nightly-build of SeaMonkey-Composer
nor SeaMonkey-Messaging, and the icon only appears in the Browser
status-bar for me.
http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/tmp/convert/54e174a18d7be6.16255575/dest/wordcountplus-1.2.3.xpi
Hope that helps. Barry.
(sorry! Forgot to insert the link previously!. Barry)

Thanks.  Neither the stable nor the beta release will install in 2.32.1.  Oh 
well.
I probably should mention that the XPI file needs to be downloaded to a 
local folder, and then use SeaMonkey to open the file from the 
browser-toolbar's menu, File, Open File, which should open an install 
dialog. Barry.

You can yourself, do the conversion for SeaMonkey at:-
http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/convert.php
by pasting this direct link to the original xpi file, in the cell 
provided on that conversion page.

http://downloads.mozdev.org/wordcountplus/wordcountplus-1.2.3.xpi
Download the file it produces, to a local folder, and then use SeaMonkey 
to open that XPI file via the browser-toolbar's menu, File, Open File,

Well, wget is GPLv3, so Apple would rather blow up the Sun
than touch it.

cURL however is under a MIT/X derivate license, so yes;
Apple even packages it.

What exactly do you mean when you say work on it? Do you want to garner

 If you are referring to a page that calls other pages, and you just want
 to read them at your leisure while you are off-line, then File  Save
 page as, gets the first page as a file and the other pages in a
 sub-directory, which the first page will call.

My recollection is that the process you describe will only get the one 
page you are viewing, with the HTML in the directory where you save it, 
and supporting files for that one page (images, CSS, etc) in the 
subdirectory. It won't grab an entire site.

Nope, but you can use grep... in profile there is a Mail folder with

Each account with filters and the log enabled with have a file
filterlog.html

grep -c Applied filter filterlog.html

to get count of all filters applied or

grep -c Applied filter quot;Filter Namequot; filterlog.html

to get count of specific filter named Filter Name ;-)

Maybe there is an extension, or maybe someone should write one.



I just opened it in my text editor, EditPad Pro, to search for applied 
filter and clicked the count matches button. :-)

John, if you are trying to filter individuals (rather than everyone) who 
post via Google Groups, have a look under Tools and create yourself a 
filter to mark messages from a particular email address as Read.


The filter can apply to an individual news group, or, if you select the 
news server it can apply to all groups on that filter.

Easy way is to set a messge filter for news.mozilla.org (not just the
user group) - this way the filter will apply to all news.mozilla.org
groups that you subscribe to.

Tools|Message Filters|Filters for: (use the dropdown to select
news.mozilla.org)|New:

Filter name: Injection-info: googlegroupps.com
Apply filter when:
x Manually Run
x Getting New Mail
o Match all of the following
Click 'Subject' and select 'Injection-info'
Click the blank box to the right of the 'contains' box and enter
'googlegroups.com'
Perform these actions:
 select the dropdown box and select your preference (Delete Ignore
thread, etc)
Click 'OK'
Click 'Filter Log' and check 'Enable the Filter Log' - you can then
check the log after awhile  see if the filter is working for you.
Later, if you'd rather not use the disk space, you can clear the filter
and turn it back off.

Note: I previously had mine set to 'Delete', but unfortunately some
developter/contributors use googlegroups exclusively for posting to some
to the dev groups. Seems odd to me that a dev/contributor would use
googlegroups to post to news.mozilla.org, but there you go... So I now
set to 'Ignore Subthread'  I can then check the thread later to see if
it was spam or from a dev/contributor.

Obviously you can set the filter for each news.mozilla.org group that
you subscribe to, but then you need to remember to do so each time you
subscribe to a group.

msgFilterRules.dat:

name=Injection-info: googlegroups.com
enabled=yes
type=20
action=Ignore subthread
condition=AND (\injection-info\,contains,googlegroups.com)

Depends on your circumstances.

satellite or dialup. I chose satellite and suffered with the 
consequences until the regional phone company got in the game and built 
out its fiber network.


But I do understand your frustration. The worst was the initial

Two thoughts:

1) Does Win8 offer you the option of installing for All Users rather 
than for a particular user? You probably need to be an administrator...


2) Having installed in the two user directories, can you set one of the 
installations to point to the other profile?

It can be done but it is a very bad idea, because you can really screw 
things up if you switch profiles while the former profile still has 
SeaMonkey running. A far better idea to share an email account with more 
than one user is to use IMAP and then different profiles would have 
access via a server to the same mail.


But if you insist. Copy the WinXP profile folder [SOME_SALT].default to 
some commonly shared location on Win8.1. For this example I will choose 
C:\Users\Public\SeaMonkey


The path to the profile will not be:

C:\Users\Public\SeaMonkey\[SOME_SALT].default

Then in each profile goto:

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey

Edit the profile.ini

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
; Change IsRelative for 1 to 0
IsRelative=0
; comment out the existing NEW profile
; Path=Profiles/[WIN8.1_SALT].default
; and add absolute path to profile in Public
Path=\Users\Public\SeaMonkey\[SOME_SALT].default

Do this for both profiles with the same info. Of course you need to 
replace [SOME_SALT] with whatever your WinXP profile salt was. When you 
are in either profile will will be using the *same* profile folder. So 
this really is a bad idea. List of caveats


* profile location must be writable from both profiles
* you must fully logout from one profile before logging if from the other
* it still might get foobared despite above precautions.

than one user is to use IMAP and then different profiles would have
access via a server to the same mail.


Firefox and Thunderbird have the same issues.  It's really not a good 
idea to try to share a profile.  Even if you've done it safely up until 
now, it's still a disaster waiting to happen.


There's several better work-arounds:

1) Working from a common Windows user ID, as suggested elsewhere in this 
discussion;


2) If the server supports it, using IMAP, and where all your mail is 
stored on the server (and mirrored locally if desired).


3) I haven't played with it, but the Mozilla Sync tool might be usable.

4) If you're determined to stay with POP, there are  ways of having 
multiple users share the same mailbox, although it takes some tinkering 
to do that.  Primarily, that's a matter of adjusting mail retention 
settings (e.g., setting mail to not be deleted from the server 
immediately after download, typically for something like 15 or 30 days). 
When I've done this in the past, I find it also useful to add BCC: to 
myself, so that each profile access has copies of sent messages copied 
to the inbox.  Plus, for the purposes of long-term storage, it generally 
helps if you designate one profile or the other as the Primary profile, 
and the other(s) as Secondary.  That's not an official designation, just 
something you determine yourself.


One additional twist -- for me, since I have several mail accounts, and 
I do the majority of my work from a specific profile on a specific 
machine, I do prefer POP, and I consider that to be my primary. 
However, I do mail access from a number extra points, including 
Thunderbird on my primary working machine, and Seamonkey, Thunderbird or 
web mail on other machines.  In those other profiles, I use IMAP 
(because the servers support that), and in each instance, I tweak the 
client so that copies of sent mail are saved not to the Sent Mail 
folder, but to the Inbox.  Additionally, on my primary POP client, I set 
retention for 15 days.


With that setup, I have read access to virtually anything current, no 
matter which machine or client I'm using, and anything that I write on a 
secondary client will always be the inbox, where the primary POP client 
will download (and I can subsequently file in my archives).


However, if you're in the process of moving to a new computer, now is a 
really good time to get away from trying to share a profile.  Just 
because it's technically possible (and that you've done it in the past), 
doesn't mean that you should continue doing it.

Windows 8.1 installation question

2014-12-30 Thread Dick Hoffman
We are slowly moving off an XP system to a new computer under Win 8.1. 
I've installed SeaMonkey 2.30 and used Mozbackup to copy the profile 
from the XP system to the 8.1 system. On the XP system, my wife and I 
share a single SeaMonkey profile and share an email account. On the Win 
8.1 system the profile was placed under my account as 
C:\Users\Dick\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla...)and when my wife signed on it 
built a new profile for her in her account as 
C:\Users\Jean\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla Is there a way to set up a 
profile folder in a common area somewhere so that we have one shared 
profile as we did under XP? If so where and how do I do it?

 I do get precisely one Google cookie by visiting nhl.com, and since
 Google isn't the originating site, that makes them third-party cookies,
 which SeaMonkey claims it's blocking.

 How can Google set a third-party cookie from nhl.com when my setting
 says to reject third-party cookies? I must conclude that SM's
 cookie-handling routine is not working correctly.

 
 
 Sorry for the unnecessary noise.
 
 Then you need to file a bug report, or nhl.com is setting it and it 
 isn't a third-party cookie.
 
 Since a lot appears to be broken in SeaMonkey lately, you could switch 
 to Firefox.
 

If nhl.com is setting the cookie, then it is indeed a third-party
cookie.  My suspicion is that the nhl.com server is creating Web pages
that include fragments (e.g., images, search boxes) supplied by Google
or other sources.  SeaMonkey is instructed by links and scripts within
the nhl.com Web pages to request those fragments from third-party
servers; the replies include cookies from those servers.

I have the extension Live HTTP Headers from
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/seamonkey/addon/live-http-headers/.
I used it while surfing the Web sites for the four financial
institutions where I do online transactions.  Two of those sites -- for
credit unions -- requested fragments from Facebook servers.  Since
Facebook is now collecting information on Web users who do not even have
Facebook accounts, I reread the privacy policies of those two credit
unions and determined this situation violated their stated policies.
One credit union modified their Web site almost immediately to stop
pulling fragments from Facebook.  I had to complain to the federal
credit union regulators -- that they should force the credit union to
abide by their own privacy policy -- before the other credit union took
action.

Note:  The addons.mozilla.org page for Live HTTP Headers might indicate
that it is not available for the current version of SeaMonkey.  All it
requires is a tweak for compatibility.

You could default to blocking cookies and make exceptions for those that
you need.  I do that, and I have no unwanted cookies.


A tempting idea, I'll grant you. But it would be a hassle because so
many sites malfunction without them; it would take years to build up a
list of exceptions from scratch. Still, I'm sorely tempted...

You could use a cookie handling extension which makes it much less 
hassle to add exceptions.  I use CS Lite.  It gives a good interface for 
cookie handling and viewing.  I did have to bump up the max version for 
SeaMonkey in the install.rdf file in the installer to get it to install, 
but it works.

Perhaps the allow for session permission specifically for google.com

Whether or not that's correct/expected behaviour is another question...

See the response I gave to »Q« 16 minutes ago downthread.



So you didn't try a test profile.

Okay, I started my SeaMonkey with the test profile. Had the 2 Google
cookies I mentioned earlier. Cleared cookies, history, cache, and
everything else I could check.

Restarted SeaMonkey with the test profile, had the 2 Google cookies
again, repeated the Clear history, restart process and the 2 Google
cookies come back on every restart.

Let me set Block Cookies from This Website, the website being
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/, clear history, restart and
they're back. Block Cookies from The Website under Tools  Cookie
Manager is still enabled.

Let me try checking When removing, block the listed websites from
setting future cookies in the Cookies tab of Data Manager and using
Remove there also. APPLAUSE! No Google cookies!

That was an adventure. :)


An interesting one, but not really relevant to my query.

I don't get Google cookies on startup as you do, so I don't need to cure
a problem I don't have.

I don't get them merely by launching the browser as you do, so I don't
need to cure a problem I don't have.

(I don't understand what clearing history has to do with cookies, but be
that as it may...)

I do get precisely one Google cookie by visiting nhl.com, and since
Google isn't the originating site, that makes them third-party cookies,
which SeaMonkey claims it's blocking.

How can Google set a third-party cookie from nhl.com when my setting
says to reject third-party cookies? I must conclude that SM's
cookie-handling routine is not working correctly.


You could default to blocking cookies and make exceptions for those that
you need.  I do that, and I have no unwanted cookies.


A tempting idea, I'll grant you. But it would be a hassle because so 
many sites malfunction without them; it would take years to build up a 
list of exceptions from scratch. Still, I'm sorely tempted...

OK, your policy is the same as mine except for Accept cookies normally 
(I have Accept cookies for current session only). Let's see what 
happens if I change to your setting... No difference, I still get the 
Google NID cookie and the NHL cookie set. I restored the setting to 
Accept cookies for current session only.


Now here's something weird... You already know my default policy is to 
accept only session cookies. I looked at the permissions for google.com 
in the Data Manager, and it said Allow for Session, which sounds like 
the same thing, right? But if they're the same thing, SM wouldn't 
remember the google.com setting, would it? So I checked the box to Use 
default, and now I don't get the Google cookie.


Apparently there's a difference between Accept cookies for current 
session only and Allow for Session, which could only make sense to a 
computer.

Sorry for the unnecessary noise.

Then you need to file a bug report, or nhl.com is setting it and it 
isn't a third-party cookie.


Since a lot appears to be broken in SeaMonkey lately, you could switch 
to Firefox.

I went to nhl.com  did a view source - could this

 script type='text/javascript'

or this

  (function() {

po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js?onload=onLoadCallback';

set a first-party cookie?

Removed all nhl.com and google.com cookies and cleared Private Data.

same result. No NID cookie was set.

Sorry, Paul, are you suggesting Google owns Yahoo?? I would have thought

Start SeaMonkey with a test profile. Check cookies. I'll bet you see one 
for Google, as it is most likely set by the Google default search engine.


My test profile had two Google cookies. Same name PREF, two different 
Content: ID's.


Have you tried the Allow cookies for the originating site only (no

My first guess is that it's the Google safebrowsing cookie.  The

that the NSA was using the Google safebrowsing cookie to track people,
Mozilla took a look at blocking the cookie, but AIUI it turned out that
the safebrowsing API requires a cookie in order to work at all.  It
looks like they decided to sandbox the cookie somehow;  I don't
understand the details.  I think they also got Google to promise never
ever to use it for tracking or building dossiers.  FWIW, the bugs are

My first guess is that it's the Google safebrowsing cookie. ...


I don't think so. I tested as follows:

From the last surviving browser window, clear private data (includes 
cookies and cache). Close the browser window. Open a fresh browser 
window, which by pref opens a blank page. Check cookies, nothing. Go to 
home page (my company website, which does not set cookies). Check 
cookies, nothing. Note that I have both safe browsing options enabled at 
Edit | Preferences | Privacy  Security.


I therefore conclude that Google is not setting a cookie on browser 
startup, and it's not setting one in order to evaluate whether my 
company website is or is not dangerous.


The Google cookie I get from nhl.com is called NID, it's 131 
characters of alphanumeric soup, and it varies from visit to visit.



It's bad enough that they update their dossier on me when I visit
their own sites, do they have to do it everywhere else, too?\

More to the point, how can I set SeaMonkey to do as it says and block

OK, let's try that...

Nope, didn't change a thing. Google set another cookie called NID 131 
characters long.

So you didn't try a test profile.

Okay, I started my SeaMonkey with the test profile. Had the 2 Google 
cookies I mentioned earlier. Cleared cookies, history, cache, and 
everything else I could check.


Restarted SeaMonkey with the test profile, had the 2 Google cookies 
again, repeated the Clear history, restart process and the 2 Google 
cookies come back on every restart.


Let me set Block Cookies from This Website, the website being 
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/, clear history, restart and 
they're back. Block Cookies from The Website under Tools  Cookie 
Manager is still enabled.


Let me try checking When removing, block the listed websites from 
setting future cookies in the Cookies tab of Data Manager and using 
Remove there also. APPLAUSE! No Google cookies!


That was an adventure. :)

You say that they said: when a file is already on your local computer, you get

So it's not a problem with the SM browser. Any browser will follow the dropbox 
mechanism.


Right -- this one isn't a SM problem; but as it eliminates my alternate 
approach, so the SM problem below becomes more critical to me!




You have just the SM problem:
right-clicking on the Dropbox desktop icon, then selecting View on dropbox.com, 
then looking at my new folder or files and verifying the time and file sizes. However, that has

Exactly.  If no other Dropbox users report this problem, I'll try to track down 
some errant SM extension that might be causing this behavior  . . . .

This is a recent problem -- just in the past week.

As to your question -- I haven't a clue, since Dropbox keeps its inner workings 
hidden from users. I found the product almost unusable until I stumbled upon 
the way I use it -- keeping a local folder on the desktop of each of my 
computers that I can interact with using normal file management tools and even 
without an internet connection; and only accessing Dropbox.com when I need to 
verify that a file I want to share has uploaded properly and the link I'm about 
to send a colleague connects to that file.

Perhaps I'm not even using their product correctly; I've tried to get tech help 
from them a few times without success.

Whenever I get frustrated with Dropbox, I try another file sharing services, 
only to find even bigger problems (e.g., my recipients must create an account; 
or they get bombed with advertising; or the download page has additional links 
designed to trick my colleagues; or the interface has just as many 
peculiarities as Dropbox or an even-more-baffling interface). Then I slink back 
to Dropbox -- until the cycle resumes!

Dropbox question

2014-12-06 Thread Bill Spikowski

A technical question for Dropbox users:

Usually I interact with Dropbox through the local folder on my computer; 
Dropbox uploads and downloads changed files without my interaction.

However, when I email a colleague a link to a file or folder I've posted on 
Dropbox, I like to test the link before sending it. (Dropbox is confusing 
enough for regular users; new users are often completely baffled, even when the 
link is correct!)

One way I've verified the upload is by right-clicking on the Dropbox desktop icon, then 
selecting View on dropbox.com, then looking at my new folder or files and 
verifying the time and file sizes. However, that has suddenly stopped working for me in 
Seamonkey, although it still works in Firefox and Chrome.

Dropbox has made a recent change that's trouble for me; the other way I 
verified these links was by pasting them in my outgoing email in Seamonkey, 
then clicking on the link before sending the email and making sure I'm being 
sent to the right file. Dropbox now defeats that approach; their explanation is 
that when a file is already on your local computer, you get redirected there 
instead of to the actual link on dropbox.com.

Either of my old methods worked fine, but I prefer to stay within Seamonkey 
rather than switching browsers, especially when I'm on other computers and 
don't recall my passwords.

Any suggestions? Dropbox doesn't seem to have any real tech support, and I 
haven't been able to find anyone else reporting this problem through Google.

You say that they said: when a file is already on your local computer, 
you get redirected there instead of to the actual link on dropbox.com.
So it's not a problem with the SM browser. Any browser will follow the 
dropbox mechanism.


You have just the SM problem:
right-clicking on the Dropbox desktop icon, then selecting View on 
dropbox.com, then looking at my new folder or files and verifying the 
time and file sizes. However, that has suddenly stopped working for me 
in Seamonkey, although it still works in Firefox and Chrome.

Re: Another bookmark question

I was organizing bookmarks today and messed something up. Dragging
folders of bookmarks is sometimes flaky, with folders ending up in the
wrong place, but I've never actually LOST any folders. This time I'm
afraid I have, about a dozen folders that are pretty important to me.

I have a backup of places.sqlite from yesterday, but I'd rather not
replace the current file because I have made a lot of other bookmark
changes since yesterday. Is there a way to extract just the lost folders
from yesterday's places.sqlite and paste it into my current file?

I have the SQLite Manager extension installed, but I have no clue how it
works, or if it can accomplish what I want to do.


Here's one clumsy workaround, others may think of something better:

1) Export your current configuration as Bookmarks.HTML. Rename it so you can 
identify it, e.g., MangledBookmarks.HTML.

2) With SM closed, copy/paste the backup places.sqlite over the existing one.

3) Launch SM and import MangledBookmarks.HTML, which should create a separate 
bookmark folder.

4) Drag and drop the lost folders back to where you want them. Delete whatever 
folders you no longer need.

5) Lather, rinse, repeat. ;-)



YES -- that worked like a charm!
