SM 2.0: Imported my old settings including previous version?
I upgraded SM 2.0 on Friday before I left work. It asked me if I wanted to import all my previous settings, so I said sure - import everything. It then booted up and the first thing I notice is the theme is ugly and the home button is missing. So I start trying to fix the home button (it was *not* on my personal toolbar contrary to advice I read elsewhere) gave up and went home. Monday SM is still on my screen right where I left it. I start playing with it some more and am struck by how it looks like nothing has changed, including my theme (Orbit 3+1, a custom theme). That wasn't there on Friday... So I look at the version # and I'm running Seamonkey 1.1.11. The timestamps on a few directories indicate that there was an upgrade (such as the existence of a new Crash Reports and I now have an extra profiles directory directory), but all the core files and DLL's are dated July. The desktop and Quick Launch shortcuts are identical except for the timestamps. I can find no real trace of any new .EXE or DLL's that SM 2.0 created. So what did it do, import all my old settings including my old version Seamonkey? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

So I uninstalled 1.1.11 (after another mozbackup) and all my shortcuts died. They were pointing to c:/program files/mozilla.org/seamonkey. It found /program files/seamonkey for me, which I didn't see until now. So 2.0 was there the whole time, it just didn't update any of my shortcuts as I told it to, and I didn't know they were supposed to be pointing at a different (new) directory. Thanks developers groan. It may have something to do with my shortcuts being in my user-defined desktop, whereas SM 2.0 puts them under 'All Users'. So now back to my original problem... -sw ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
SM 2.0: No Home Button on Personal Toolbar
The proposed solution to this seems to be that you're supposed to customize the tool bar, using the button from your personal toolbar. Well, I don't have a home button on my personal toolbar. Probably because I turned it off when I installed Home Button on SM 1.1.x. And when I imported my settings from 1.1 the absence of the home button went with it. I don't know why the concept of having a prominently displayed Home button is a foreign concept to the Mozilla folks. It kind reminds me having to re-map the [backspace] key work every time you installed Emacs: Something irritating you have to do immediately after every install and before you can do anything else. Do people really not use a Home button? I'm pretty sure that if you put it right up there on the navigation toolbar by default, only an insignificant number of users would complain about not being able to disable it (the same number of people who would like to disable the Back button). -sw (still wondering why nothing in Windows has the keyboard equivalent of Emacs [Esc-D]) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Pressing Home Button Sets Home Page
SM 2.0 WinXPSP3 Sometimes when I press the Home Button (which has been moved next to the URL bar, finally), it doesn't take me Home, but asks me if I want to set the current page as my home page. Talk about annoying. Any way to disable this behavior? The shortcut for this action is to drag the URL icon to the home button - which are next to each other in my case - but I know I'm not doing this by accident. So moving the home button further away is probably not a solution. -sw ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
SM 2.0 Forwarding and Wrapping
When I post long URLs they are wrapping. In previous versions this did not happen. It left the complete URL in tact on one line. It is unacceptable to wrap URL's. Also, I can't seem to find the setting Forward messages as inline|attachment. It's defaulting to attachments, which is also ugly. I've been over all the options in the UI and can't find any settings to be able to change either of these behaviors. SM 2.0 is beginning to seem like a step backward more and more. -sw ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Making SM 2.0 default email client
I rarely send email from applications, but Adobe Professional and it's Print to PDF Driver insist on using the Windows Default, which is technically Outlook, according to the Internet Options Control Applet.

I switched the default to Outlook, then I used SM where it prompted me to set it back to default, and now Seamonkey appears on the list of apps to use as email clients under the Internet Options Control Panel applet. Apparently if you upgrade from SM 1.1.8 and already have SM as you default, it will never ask you and add it to the list of available email clients. -sw ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Sometimes when I press the Home Button (which has been moved to the navigation bar, if that matters), a dialog pops up that asks me if I want to set the new home page as the default. (...) According to the SM documentation the only shortcut for this action is to: Tip: To specify your home page quickly, drag the bookmark icon image of bookmark icon from the Location Bar to the Home Page button on the Personal Toolbar. Maybe Seamonkey is intercepting some errant VNC event. But I don't see how it could be interpreted as the above action - whatever that poorly worded double-talk above is trying to say. I found that you can drag drop the Home button onto itself which might be what you see. Maybe you dragged it for just a few pixels. OK, yeah - that does seem possible. That's probably what I'm doing and it had nothing to do with VNC. Why you can do this is a mystery, though. I consider that a bug. Thank you.

SM 2.x: Mail Filter keeps getting disabled
Simple mail filter that looks for a word in the subject of an Inbox and puts it into a named local folder. It keeps getting disabled. If I tick the Enabled box, it works until SM gets shut down, then it unticks itself. I've deleted the filter and re-added it. Same thing. It had a mind of it's own. It pretty much makes messages filters useless. -sw ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

This account is set up to POP from pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com (ATT DSL). The only thing odd I notice occasionally is when stafrt the email client, it often say splease wait while the folder is being processed. Apparently it was already checking mail when I fired up the mail window. The filter itself is pretty simple: version=9 logging=yes name=TOSNA enabled=no type=17 action=Move to folder actionValue=mailbox://nob...@local%20folders/TOSNA condition=AND (subject,contains,TOSNA) It's the only filter in the file. And it keeps disabling itself for no apparent reason. Log file is working fine - it logs everything normally up until the point it disables itself. So much for message filters. -sw ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Coral IE Tab Stopped Working
Coral IE Tab stopped working when it asked to update itself to 1.85.20100407. I get a chrome://coralietab/... URL in the tab header, a IE logo in the URL bar and the current website (that was diaplying fine in SM), and that's it. The browser screen is blank. It doesn't even have the familar yellow bar that says if this page does not render correctly... I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with the same behavior.

Mail filters keep disabling themselves
SM 2.0.4, but it's been happening since 2.0.x, my mail filters keep disabling themselves. I've RR's them, as well as SM from scratch, but after a few days, they just stop working and when I look at them, the checkbox next to those filters are disabled. They disable themselves randomly - not all at the same time. They are simple filters. If From: contains whatever move to local folder whatever. This is one of the basic features of an MUA. Next, I try Thunderbird and if that works, then I use Firefox as well. Having stuck with SM since it's inception (and suite before that), I just can't handle all these quirks any more - all these suggestions to set up new profiles and ditch all my old data, lack uf plug-in support... I need to move on to a better-supported set of apps. It seems SM will never be ready for prime time. The same old bugs have been out there forever. -sw ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
