Thanks for the SHIFT- click info, Paul; but it's insufficient. Like
many people, I build up hundreds of cookies, so when I delete there
are some large blocks to delete. SHIFT-click only allows me to
delete those cookies visible in the window, isn't that true? When I
tried it and reached the bottom of the window, more cookies weren't
raised up into the window. Therefore I was only able to delete about
25 cookies at a time. This becomes tiresome when one has about 2-300
to delete.
In the applications which have it, sweep-highlighting continually
brings more items into a window when one reaches the bottom.
Therefore one can highlight as many consecutive items as desired. Is
there some other technique you know to delete 300 consecutive items
at a time? If not, Seamonkey could use sweep-highlighting. I'm
assuming the programming wouldn't be onerous since the capability is
already present in so many other applications.
Number 1: Please stop pruning out the entire message to which you're
replying. It makes it hard for someone who comes along later to follow
the thread.
Number 2: I can't imagine why you would ever want 300 cookies; the best
cure for that, as someone else already said in this thread, is
prevention. I myself accept only session cookies, and those only if they
meet the specs of my cookie policy, q.v. So whenever I close SeaMonkey
(and Mozilla before it), all cookies are purged. If a site wants to set
another cookie when I return, fine.
The Cookie Manager allows you to set certain sites as "always allow" or
"always block" with respect to cookies, and I use that to tweak my
general policy.
For the mechanics of deleting all but a few, I probably would click the
first, scroll to the end and SHIFT-click the last, and then CTRL-click
to deselect the few I wanted to keep. But it will be almost as good --
and probably easier -- to just delete them all and let your favorite
sites set fresh cookies the next time you visit.
