Re: SM 2.0: Location bar autocomplete oddities
Seth Plait wrote: I don't know if this is a bug but it's at least confusing. In the privacy security settings I have configured SeaMonkey to always clear my private data when I close SeaMonkey. Now, if I enable erase browsing history and disable erase location bar history and then close and restart SeaMonkey, the location bar autocompletion no longer works for URLs that I typed in before closing the browser. However, those URLs are still shown in the drop-down box. Disabling erase browsing history makes autocompletion work across restarts. I always thought the browsing history was just a list of links that I followed. Did I miss anything? Starting with SeaMonkey 2 the location bar autocompletes against the browsing history, including page titles (can be tuned in Preferences), just like in Firefox. The location bar history (what you actually typed) is only used for the drop-down that can be opened using the marker at the right end of the location bar.

Re: Browser Preferences - History
JD wrote: Always remember visited pages for at least [__] days I reset it to 7 days. Remember visited pages for up to [__] days I reset this to 3 days. So you essentially told SM to keep a record of visited pages for at least seven days but no more than three. Well... Maybe you should swap those two values. ;-) What SM will actually do with the settings you provided is this: It will keep a record of at least seven days of history, and the second pref will be ignored because the first takes precedence. Check with Help, it says the same (well, of course it does, I wrote that part! :-)). What is the difference between the above two settings? I'm reading Help but maybe it's too early in the morning for me to see a difference? I tried really hard to make Help understandable there. Please read it again, maybe a little later during the day. ;-) Remember up to [__] visited pages This is currently set for 40,000 pages. That seems a little high to me. Of course SM doesn't store 40,000 pages, it just stores the information which pages (URLs) have been visited, when, and how often. The data is stored in a database that can easily handle that amount of data. Querying the data is no issue either. That's a major difference between SM 2 and its predecessors. It's default is to remember forty thousand visited pages? And what's the difference between this setting and the other two? Please check Help. Any summary I could come up with here would be less accurate than what's written there. I figure this all depends on my browsing habits. For example, I'll probably visit Amazon.com once a month and I like to type in is Amazon. I might go to TigerDirect.com every three months and all I need to type in is TigerDirect. Right now, when I type those in I'm seeing every TigerDirect web page I've visited in my lifetime and two previous lifetimes. I'm kidding about that previous lifetimes but I do get a very long list that drops down under the Location Bar. The location bar of SM 2 is capable of learning from which entries you choose. It takes some time (depending on your browsing habits days, weeks, or months) but it will get better every time you make a choice. So what would be a better starting place for the above three settings? Hmm, I had 90/30/40,000 here. Strange. Reset the middle one to 180.

No. Would make submitting a useful bug report easier, and source is not really a great resource, even if you know how to read it, it takes time. Prefs that do not show up by default in about:config are not meant to be used by average users, that's why they're only to be found in the source code. Theoretically one could build a list of prefs from source but that would only be a snapshot then because the source can (and will!) change at any time, constantly. If there's a chance that a pref is used by more people it should go to the Preferences panel (SeaMonkey mentality) or be findable in about:config (Firefox mentality, SeaMonkey fallback).

Do you have any idea how elitist that sounds? Maybe you just got me wrong, please read on. Dozens of people have filed bugs, discussed this on servers, in chat rooms, and on other mailing lists. But they're just average users, and because this stuff means their user agent doesn't work they do care a great deal. And will the next time some totally undocumented option is needed to make some common task work. The tone of your average user comments shows how little you value other people's time. My point is that the average user shouldn't have to care about these prefs at all. At least not to work around bugs. The problem at hand is a bug, and as such it should be fixed. It's just that *in this particular case* dealing with these prefs helps to *work around* the bug until the fix is available (here: with SM 2.0.1, due next week). In many other cases there are no prefs, hidden or not, that help to work around a problem. Because this stuff might change is exactly why about:config should dump all available values. Or call it about:everything. People already know they may break something, and things may change, what's new? Prefs that do not appear in about:config unless manually set are prefs without obvious default, i.e. their default and type (!) solely depend on how they are used in the internal implementation. As I said, the implementation can change any day it is developed further. How should those be shown in about:config when they are not set by the user (in which case they already appear in the current situation)? How would the user know which type (string/boolean/integer) they are and what possible values would be? OTOH, if a pref would be important enough to be useful for more than a very small minority or seldom edge cases, the developers would only have to define a default for it and it would appear in about:config by default. If you find a pref that you think deserves that kind of attention you can file a bug and request that. It'll depend on your reasoning whether it'll be accepted or not (and the reviewers, of course). All I'm saying is that making a pref visible by default just because it works around a bug that should (and was!) be fixed another way is the wrong way to go.

There is: Edit Preferences Privacy Security Master Passwords, click Change Password..., enter your master password in the Current password field, click OK. That said, since I installed SM2 into folders named Seamonkey2, can I delete all folders named Seamonkey? 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.

I don't find a description of it in the SM2 Help Even worse, there hasn't even been a bug report for that. My bad. Now there is: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545480 The new Archive feature (inspired by Gmail) automatically moves a message to an archive folder when you hit A with a message open or select Message | Archive. In SeaMonkey it's Shift+A. And there's a context menu item as well. The archives folder layout sorts messages by year, with subfolders for each month. That's the default. You can change the behavior using the mail.server.serverX.archive_granularity pref. From the source: This attribute and constants control the granularity of sub-folders of the Archives folder - either messages go in the single archive folder, or a yearly archive folder, or in a monthly archive folder with a yearly parent folder. If the server doesn't support folders that both contain messages and have sub-folders, we will ignore this setting. Single Archive Folder = 0 Per-Year Archive Folders = 1 Per-Month Archive Folders = 2 As I wrote above the default is 1. Note that AFAIK sub folders are not created automatically currently. You need to do that manually once for each year/month. Or maybe I'm wrong and only the subscribing doesn't work. Or not always. Anyway, once the correct folder hierarchy is visible in MailNews the Archive functionality works as expected. Does this work with an IMAP server? Yes. If so, presumably the Archive folder is on the IMAP server. By default it's the same server if it supports it, yes. You can set the Archive folder per server under Account Settings, Copies Folders. I for example always set it to Local Folders for all accounts. YMMV. What happens if you have an IMAP server that does not support sub-folders? Then flat archiving is used automatically.

Re: SM Stopped asking for passwords
Lance Courtland wrote: 1. When I go to sites that ask for a user ID or password that is new, SM has stopped asking to remember it. Preferences/Privacy Security/Passwords/Remember passwords is checked. No master password. SM 2 uses notification bars at the top of the display area to ask whether to store log-in information after the log-in procedure has been initiated. If this is what you are talking about as well and it doesn't work for you then one of your extensions might cause the issue. Have you tried starting SM in Safe Mode (AFAIK there should be an entry in the start menu if you used the installer)? 2. Sometimes SM will automatically fill in the ID and password, sometimes I have to type the first letter of the User ID and select the correct one from a drop-down list, and sometimes I have to type the whole User ID before the password is automatically filled in. Is this normal? SM 2 uses a different password manager than SM 1.x. It will only fill in the log-in form automatically if there is exactly one set of log-in credentials stored for the site. If there are multiple sets to choose from you can either click one of the log-in form fields with the mouse or use the down (arrow) key on the keyboard. Either way a drop-down of all account names stored for the site will be shown from which you can choose. Use Return/Enter to fill the form with the highlighted entry or use the Del key to (permanently!) delete the associated log-in credentials.

Re: SM2 profile transfer mechanism
Rubens wrote: Over the years I´ve got used to transfer my profile from one computer to another with SM 1.1.x using the following method: 1- Creating a folder structure in the new computer like this: D:\SMprofiles\MyProfile 2- Copying all files and folders under the MyProfile folder from the old computer to the MyProfile folder at the new computer. 3- Starting the Profile Manager in the new computer, starting a new profile creation and selecting the same profile name and folder location. From this point on, SM 1.1.x assumes all files already there as belonging to the new profile and works normally. But, this method does not seem to work for SM 2.x, because the previous profile data is not recognized. The difference is that the SM 1.x Profile Manager asks you to specify the path to the parent folder of the actual profile (which is contained in a folder called random.slt) while the SM 2 Profile Manager asks you for the actual profile folder (called random.profilename by default). Anyway, with SM 2 you can edit the paths directly in profiles.ini and skip the whole Profile Manager configuration. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Changing_Profile_Folder_Location HTH Jens -- Jens Hatlak http://jens.hatlak.de/ SeaMonkey Trunk Tracker http://smtt.blogspot.com/ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Archive feature additional question
Rob Steinmetz wrote: Can anyone tell me if there is any difference in behavior in Seamonkey regarding the Archive folder. One thing I have noticed in the SeaMonkey 2,x is that it periodically re indexes mail folder and if you have a lot of mail that can take a long time. I was wondering if the Archive folders are normally skipped in that process. It would seem that they would not need to be maintained at the same level as the main folders. AFAIK SeaMonkey does not periodically re-index mail folders (like TB3's gloda). It does periodically compact mail folders, though, if you configured it like that (by providing a space saving threshold). AFAIK Archives folders are not treated differently there. But unless you delete messages from folders they won't ever need to be compacted so if you always only add messages to Archives folders they won't be affected. On the other hand, since the Archive feature moves messages, the source folders are quite likely to need compaction at some point in time.

As I see those Menu-items there when click on the source or the file I'm reminded of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499114 This regression should also be fixed when getting hands on that progress window if possible. Different bug, different problem, different solution. btw: I'd suggest to open the menus by right-clicking. Left click (or at least left double-click) should open the file when (double)clicking on the file-name or the downloadpage when (double)clicking the download-location. After that the window should close (see bug 499114 above) The problem there, as I see it, is consistency vs. discoverability. Currently it's consistent in that the twisties on the right of the file name and source hostname indicate that you can use the left mouse button (twisties always work like that). If you switched to the right mouse button for opening the menu then the twisties would have to go (because they inherently say left click me [1] but that would do nothing then) and be replaced by something else that indicated that a context menu is available (replacing it by nothing is not really an option because a simple string doesn't indicate that a context menu is available). [1] Random example: Web Developer Toolbar Basically I agree that the open/launch action should be triggered by a double click, though. I'd just go another way by providing a visual representation of the finished download through the system icon matching the download file type. See bug 513691 comment 80.

Re: Local Folders
John Doue wrote: Lots of users keep an inordinate amount of mail in the Inbox. Local Folders can indeed be used as a storage area for emails that are not immediately needed but that should still remain readily accessible. Local Folders are probably of little help with POP accounts but with IMAP it makes sense to have a defined local storage. Personally, this is the only practical use I ever found for Local Folders. I use Local Folders for that (local, categorized archive) and cross-folder/-server searches. For example there's a bug about cross-newsgroup search folders that are put on below a news account (in that case you're repeatedly asked to (un)subscribe that folder). If you instead put such a search folder below Local Folders there is no problem (at least starting with the upcoming SM 2.0.4 where bug 546040 is fixed so that replying to a message in a search folder honors the message type, e.g. news vs. POP/IMAP mail).

Back to the Manage User Profiles, there are now TWO profiles listed, neither of which will open with the Use Profile button. Although the rename button opens the correct window and accepts what I type it, no rename occurs, and neither profile can be deleted. It's correct that another profile appeared.

Does the Profile Manager appear if SeaMonkey is *not* running while you use the Profile Manager shortcut? If yes: See my first sentence above.

Re: Global installation does not work localized
Michelle Konzack wrote: Am 2010-05-21 18:32:23, hacktest Du folgendes herunter: I'd recommend doing a chmod -Rf o+r /path/to/sm-installdir first, maybe also chmod a+x /path/to/sm-installdir/components if you want to install certain global extensions. For what? Under UNIX/Linux a global installation is done by root. Sure. But with a global installation the files are not run by root. The Others group should be able to read all files (except for confidential information, which AFAIK SM's application directory doesn't contain). From past experience I know that this is not necessarily the case after you just extracted the files. Similarly everyone should be able to access the components directory, that's why I suggested a+x. If either read or execute rights are already granted for Others you can skip that step of course. For the actual installation of extensions (like localization packages) you should change the owner of all files to your user (chown -R yourusername /path/to/sm-installdir) temporarily, start SM as your user, do the installation, and change back the ownership to root. Ehm??? The localizations are installed global an should available for ALL users. Each user should install its own copys? No. I just assumed you knew how to accomplish that step. You have basically two options with SM 2.0: a) drop the XPI files that should be installed globally in the extensions directory of the application directory and start SM once. For security reasons that should not be done as root. That's why I suggested temporarily changing the ownership of all application files. b) using the --install-global-extension command line option. Use a full path and have the XPI files available on a local path to ensure it actually works. This should be relatively safe to do as root, i.e. without the need to change file ownerships. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options#section_51 Neither option works with SM 1.x. Option b has been dropped after SM 2.0 so SM 2.1 will not support it anymore. Given the Add-on Manager rewrite that landed this month it might even be the case that option a won't work with SM 2.1 anymore either (cf. bug 566373 which is AFAICS limited to the extensions directory within the user's profile).

Re: Installing Seamonkey manually vs via Synaptic / Apt (Ubuntu / Mint)
Rob Lindauer wrote: The Seamonkey install instructions I've been using (successfully) for a year or two have me expand the Seamonkey tar/bz2 file into a subdirectory under home, and manually add an entry in my Gnome/Kde menu, as opposed to installing via Synaptic/Apt. The rationale as I recall is that I as nonprivileged user can thereafter add extensions, and no have to run as root when doing so. With SeaMonkey versions before 2.0 there were extensions that needed to be installed into the application directory so you needed access to that directory, which usually meant you needed to be root. Starting with version 2.0 SeaMonkey uses the same add-on back-end as recent versions of Firefox which means that you can install all kinds of extensions into your user profile which does not require special privileges. Does such thinking still hold, or should I be using Synaptic to do the installs? It depends. There are basically three kinds of setups: 1. Global install using packages provided by your Linux distribution (in your case Ubuntu) 2. Manual global install (as root, e.g. under /opt or /usr/local) 3. Manual local install (as your user, e.g. in your home directory) Option 1 is the way to go if you have multiple (system) users and/or want to let your distribution manage the software installed on your machine. The advantage is that it'll probably just work out-of-the-box, install all required dependencies and that your distribution will take care of delivering updates to you. The latter can also be a downside, though: depending on your distribution, updates might not be offered too often or not in a timely fashion. Option 2 is best if you have a multi-user install like above but want more control or go with what is provided by the SeaMonkey team. With this setup you'll have to take care of installing any dependencies and updates yourself, as root. Option 3 is recommended for single-user installations because you can let SeaMonkey update itself directly whenever an update is available (or at any later point in time, whenever you want).

Note: not a confrontational question, just curious as this is the first I've heard of this. Basically all extensions that have default preferences and/or components. All these had to be installed somewhere under the SeaMonkey application directory. You might have chmod'ed your SeaMonkey application directory a long time ago and have forgotten that you did it. I guess I'm still confused... just switch back to SeaMonkey 1.1.19 to reply. The _only_ thing that I've done to install is to extract the seamonkey-1.1.19.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz to a home folder (/home/seamonkey119) and run it from there: /home/username/seamonkey119/./seamonkey -no-remote -mail -browser In that case you probably did that as your user. Philip and I were talking about a global install done by the root user, e.g. under /usr/local. With your setup all application files are owned by your user so you can of course install any extension. BTW: -no-remote does nothing with SeaMonkey version prior to 2.0. Just remove it.

I remember this has come up before http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.seamonkey/msg/322a9a5878456338: Actually the only reason that 1.1 on linux supports -no-remote is that on linux seamonkey is a shell script that translates -no-remote into set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 seamonkey-bin etc. Oh well. You're right. I just wished people replaced this with -invalidOptionThatTriggersNoRemote or something that has the same effect without confusing people like me (I always forget).

More specifically, the OP was asking about the rationale behind installing in the home directory as opposed to using the system package management. The latter is always installing globally. I was just saying that before SeaMonkey 2.0, access to the application directory was needed in order to be able to install some kinds of add-ons. With SeaMonkey 2.0 and later, application directory access is only required for updating the application itself. So there are now fewer reasons to go with that approach as before. That's all. BTW: -no-remote does nothing with SeaMonkey version prior to 2.0. Just remove it. I beg to differ Sure, Stanimir already explained that and I already confirmed his findings. My statement was wrong.
