That would have to be software which is installed on every Linux system
which is capable of using TB or SM. I am not aware of such a beast.

BTW, while experimenting with the browser of 2.57, trying 'Open File'
with klingeln.wav, an unwelcome entry was added to the Helper
Applications. And I could find no way to delete that entry.

Worse, the same entry was now in my 2.53. Oh, the old days, when you
could manipulate the Helper Applications at you will. When you even
could add entries freely invented. *g*

So I had to search for the place where the unwanted entry was stored.
Work, sigh. But now it is gone. :)

Just a guess:  maybe notifications are a special case; maybe TB/SM
hand them off to some external software which plays the WAV.

No. At the moment I haven't installed anything regarding pulse. In
Bill's browser the sound does not work, but it does in notifications.

There's a reason why I am scratching my head. :)

I am not aware of any Alsa fixes specifically for TB. As far as I know it was 
kept disabled in TB 52. Have you installed apulse?

Well, you have one solution for this directly before your nose. *fg*

Export your bookmarks as HTML, make a backup, import them in the
composer of SM, manipulate them e.g. by moving with the mouse.

There is one problem with importing the new list. You did make a backup
of your bookmarks.html, hm?

Before importing the newly arranged bookmarks I would recommend deleting
all of them in your SM. Then, after importing, you may have to move some
contents.

I had that pleasure lately when moving from 2.56a1 to 2.53. Not sure if
the behaviour is a bug.

Has anyone created a tool reorganize existing bookmarks in a hierarchical

SeaMonkey already has that feature, has had it for years, if you choose 
to use it.


In a browser window, Bookmarks | Manage Bookmarks or CTRL-B.

In the Bookmarks Manager, File | New Folder creates a folder. Name it 
and drag and drop bookmarks into it. You can create subfolders, too, if 
you like, but too many nested levels is inconvenient to use.


When bookmarking a new site, don't just do Bookmarks | Bookmark This 
Page (CTRL-SHIFT-D), do Bookmarks | File Bookmark (CTRL-D) and choose 
the appropriate folder.


As for automating the process, no, it won't do that. And your car won't 
pick a restaurant and drive you there either, not yet anyway. ;-)

SM, Linux and sound. Regarding Alsa & Pulseaudio

[Hartmut Figge]

Greetings,

SM-2.57 from Bill can play no sound in the browser on a Linux using Alsa
instead of Pulseaudio. That is as expected. Tested with youtube. Now,
curious as I sometimes am, a question came up and didn't stop bothering me.

What has TB done about the problem Alsa/Pulseaudio? Yes, there is use
for sound in TB. The notification of incoming mail can play a sound. So
I fetched the last Daily, selected klingeln.wav and clicked on play. It
worked. No problem with my Alsa.

Hm.

Next step. SM-2.57 cannot use MailNes, but under Preferences there is
Notifications for incoming mail. Choosing klingeln.way, clicking play
and ... it worked. Astonishing.

So it seems 2.57 *can* use Alsa. If it chooses. :-)

At the moment I am scratching my head.
