If that doesn't help, report back with details of what's happening and when and one of the experts will jump in and help. I am trying to read a .tef file created by TablEdit, a program which creates tablature for musical instruments. There is a special font (tef265.ttf) Which this program uses. It is in my font file. When I click on a .tef file (http://everythingdulcimer.com/tab/Be_thou_my_vision_DAD.tef) instead of the notes and tab numbers, question marks are in those positions. If I do a shift/click then SeaMonkey file download manager kicks in and then I can click on launch file and the file is displayed correctly with notes and tab numbers and I can play the song and make adds/changes. This problem has occurred in the past two months whereby it had worked for several years before. I believe I have made a change somewhere but I cannot find it. Under Preferences/helper applications I have added application/tef and under file type details I have added open these files with tabledit.exe This makes no difference. If you need further clarification I will try to supply it. To me, the question marks sound like a font issue, not a program issue. Your system is behaving as if it doesn't have the right font and substituting one it does have, and there are no glyphs at those positions in the font it does have. On my system, which doesn't have that font, SM opens it as a text file and displays in Courier New, so of course I get white question marks in black diamonds. What happens if you launch TablEdit and open the file directly from there? (just do CTRL-O and paste the URL into the dialog). If it opens fine, SM has a problem and I would look at its font settings (e.g., Edit | Appearance | Fonts | Allow documents to use other fonts); if not, then it's a system-wide problem and not SM's fault. But I'm just a power user, not an expert, so take this with a grain of salt. The OP said: and I can play the song and make adds/changes. so, it's a program issue and not a font issue. This web document *must* be opened by tabledit.exe who finds the neede font. SM cannot do the job. SM try to open this file by it's own (with expected bad result) The OP tell us exactly where to search: This problem has occurred in the past two months whereby it had worked for several years before.

Scroll up to the top to the group, click instantaneously get: Newsgroups: gmane.linux.ubuntu.user Subject: Re: D-Link Airplus DWL-G650+ I think you're misunderstanding Kent's complaint. The big delay and high CPU activity that Kent is referring to is when newsgroups with many thousands of messages already downloaded are checked for new messages. It's not when a message is displayed or when SM2.0 downloads the number of headers you want the *first* time that a newsgroup is checked. AFAIK, SM2.0 check for new newsgroup messages in several cases: • at startup, if the Check for new messages at startup setting is checked for the relevant newserver; • every x minutes, if the Check for new messages every x minutes is checked for the relevant newserver; • when the newserver is expanded in the Folder Pane, if the about:config - news.update_unread_on_expand setting is true (that's the default in SM2.0); • when the user click on a newsgroup in the Folder Pane (I don't know if this is always true, or only if about:config - news.update_unread_on_expand is false). That said, the point is that SM2.0 is considerably slower and consumes a very bigger amount of CPU time than SM1.1.18 to perform this task. Moreover, if the CPU isn't powerful enough, SM becomes unresponsive for a varying amount of seconds until the check is done. I think this is the very same issue that was causing the application stalls and CPU burst discussed in this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.seamonkey/browse_thread/thread/b2ca52cd58029e13/ I haven't tried to reproduce this issue with a fresh new profile, yet, but I think I experienced it after the profile migration from SM1.1.18 to SM2.0: with the Check for new messages every x minutes setting checked (just like it was on SM1.1.18), SM2.0 was unusable for the frequent stalls. We absolutely need a bug report about this.

If it finds a Communicator profile, and it will, it will offer to convert the profile for 7.2's use.

You should get a dropdown to select the desired action, one of which should allow you to browse to location of the application you wish to use to open that file type. Did you do this? From what you said earlier: I have tried the setting in preferences/helper applications but it makes no difference. it would seem that you tried to do this and it didn't stick. If that is the case, my suggestion was to set it to ask every time, then navigate to an example of that file type in the internet, and try to set the appropriate application when it asks, to see if that will stick.

I'm not sure how the list is setup but know from experience with Yahoo Groups that this problem may not be a problem of SeaMonkey's but of Google's where the list, I believe, originates and a simple change in the settings of the reply to preference by the moderator of the list could repair. I'm on over one hundred Groups on Yahoo and each has their settings different so I have to watch when replying to them if clicking reply just sends it to the posting member or back to the Group for distribution to all members. -- Big Bill Massillon, Oh USA ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Importing a profile from a different computer
I am using SeaMonkey 2.0 and have had very few problems except for the one regarding copying and pasting text. I have read comments about McAfee (which I have) and their site adviser, but I do not have that installed. At any rate, the copying/pasting problem is so random that I can live with it. I would now like to load SeaMonkey 2.0 on a laptop computer and use all the profile data from my desktop computer on it. If I was to copy the .slt folder from my desktop to a memory stick, could I direct SeaMonkey 2.0 to import that profile to the laptop?

I have tried the setting in preferences/helper applications but it makes no difference. w. sm 1.1.18 win xp, sp3 I am assumong that it not behaves as Firefox does. You can edit existing entries, but you cannot add them. Rather, the first time an unknown file type is encountered, you make a selection which is added to the list. Do I understand that you have tried to edit an existing entry, but the setting doesn't stick? If so, try setting the file type in question to always ask, then navigate to such a file type and set it that way. Lee To all who posted a reply to my query: Please read again my original post, quoted above. Example: When I click on a link to a .pdf file, SM knows it is a .pdf file and calls Adobe Reader to read the file. I want SM to recognize a .tef file and call tabledit to read the file. Where is the setting to do this? It is not in edit/preferences/helper applications as I have the .tef files identified there as: application/tef and file type details as: open these files with tabledit.exe This is as clear as I can describe the problem.

Password pre-fill doesn't work with transformed documents
I've noticed saved passwords are not pre-filled into transformed documents using Firefox 3.5 and SeaMonkey 2.0, while this worked just fine with the Password Manager of SeaMonkey 1.1 (and I guess with Firefox 2). I've encountered this with my bank's online banking service: https://remote.bank.allianz.bg/EBank/ They serve up XML content providing an XSLT xml-stylesheet which generates the HTML output in the browser (client-side).

That's possible. I guess that first the oddity of the action of having a mail-list as well as a newsgroup mirroring each other's messages must be resolved.

I'm on over one hundred Groups on Yahoo and each has their settings different so I have to watch when replying to them if clicking reply just sends it to the posting member or back to the Group for distribution to all members. Right. So, considering that AT THE MOLMENT I get news messages in teh newsgroup as well as in the mail list, I'm going to quit/delete my connection to the newsgroup, and see whether I still get messages! If I still do, let's see what the header shows this time! Thanks for the post. Oh wait! I see that in THIS post's header, the newsgroup is NOT shown, but Google or Yahoo, whichever, manages to put YOUR name on top, and that's the person who gets any further answers, not the group at all! Support-seamonkey... does get listed as a CC, but, not in the header of my reply. My reply was ONLY addressed to you, personally! So everyone can see what's happening, I'll ADD support-seamonkey... to the header as CC, but as it was first delivered to me, to send back, it only had your (William's) name on the mail! There's STILL something screwed up, isn't there.

Is it possible to hack these to run with SM2.0 by adding an entry for

Something like this:

I have just finished a working port of download statusbar. I shall
upload it to my website later tonight.
There should be a version of Quote Colours for SeaMonkey 2.0 available
from their website. No idea of the rest.

Seamonkey 2.0 in Debian and ubuntu I really miss the installer!
Hi, Seamonkey 2.0 does not take mail settings, and others with it any more in Linux when it is decompressed, like all Seamonkey versions up till SM 1.1.18. So this is a real pest and inconvenience. I know Linux is a poor relation to MS windows, which SM 2.0 installer does take all the settings. The installer was really great in the Linux version, and transcended all the uncertainty waiting for an up to date packaged version that usually never happens with SM. I am staying with 1.1.18 for now, and hoping either an installer is reconsidered, or I must decide what to do, as this is not good enough to lose your old mail. I wonder if someone has a solution for the poor old Linux version. Here's hoping Regards Rod ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
