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 [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
