As I saw the path was wrong I wanted to browse to the correct directory. In my version of puppy linux, the path goes via root and a hidden directory .mozilla. The file open dialogue didn't see this hidden dialogue, so I was unable to go the the news directory in the mozilla profile. May you search at the wrong place? In a terminal, if you are using the default profile : lsof | grep seamonkey | grep \.default In debian Jessie, lsof is : /usr/bin/lsof and then launch something like : rox found_directory -- Sorry for possible mistakes in English! http://pasdenom.info/ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

On Windows those buttons open the operating system's file browser (i.e. Explorer), so whether or not hidden files are seen depends on Explorer's settings. Not sure if there's a similar arrangement on Linux. Since you know the name of the hidden directory, it may be possible to navigate to it by typing it's path in the filename field. i.e. enter /mnt/home/root/.mozilla/ as the filename and press enter (or click open or whatever the equivalent is), and it might then show the content of that directory. Again, just a guess based on the Windows version. Mark. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Good tip to look at the file browser. So some linux applications apparently put the open file dialogue in the display hidden files/directories mode independent of the file browser mode for it and some, like SeaMonkey don't. Good to know.

Good tip to look at the file browser. I'm glad that worked, but I'm surprised by it. Usually Mozilla apps use their own file browser instead of the system's, but yours must be using ROX. In about:config, what's the value of the ui.allow_platform_file_picker pref? (Usually, default is false, which would make SM use its in-built picker.) ROX probably has a keyboard combo to toggle showing hidden files, but I don't know what it is. KDE's file picker uses ctrl+h for that; maybe ROX does also. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

KDE's file picker uses ctrl+h for that; maybe ROX does also. Good thinking. I have ui.allow_platform_file_picker;true ROX uses indeed ctrl+h. If I am in the file open dialogue in SeaMonkey, ctrl+h displays or hide the hidden files/directories. So ROX is used as the value is true. I did put the value to false and then I get the Mozilla's file browser and in this window there is a tick box to show or hide hidden files/directories. So this clears up the issue.
