So far, Sea Monkey 2.0.1 has defeated me in this. The idea is to clone 2.01 form machine 1 (aka M1)to Machine 2 (aka M2) and the particulars of my last failures follow: 1. Uninstalled SM 2.0.1 from M2. 2. Reinstalled SM 2.0;.1 on M2 without launching after install complete. Copied entire SM profile (about 34 subdirectories) from D&S in M1 to M2) 3. Prepped prefs.js by doing mass change of M1 name (jim) to M2 name (PC1) (operation detail -- Qedit reported 11 changes made, EXCEPT I did not change 2 entries specifically for IRC in Prefs.js where "jim" is the user name and those CMD entries did not refer to D&S location) 4. Replaced places.sqlite on m2 with m1 copy. 5. started SM2 on M2. 6. Result of intended operation -- failure PLUS. The PLUS was that not only did I have no bookmarks transferred *but* the personal toolbar was also locked *and* that the personal toolbar was now locked to drag & drop items from the Navigation window. (The profile copy was successful since the Adblock icon now appeared on Personal toolbar -- and was operable -- of M2 browser and all subfolders, filters and mail were present and operable in M2 SM email client.) End initial attempt at elegant symphony. :-) (it should have worked) Enter Plan B: 1. Export bookmarks from M1 to file (bookmarks.html) on shared folder on M1. 2. Import bookmarks to M2 (using "manage bookmarks") 3. For that session, there were 536 "objects" in bookmark manager and bookmarks did exist from toolbar call of bookmarks but not on Personal Toolbar. 4. I unset and reset "bookmarks toolbar" as personal toolbar. Result: Personal toolbar populated with proper bookmarks and folders. BUT When i closed and reopened SM on M2, all bookmarks had disappeared. (I did Plan A and Plan B complete operations several times) Any ideas? jim _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
