I'm not using SM 2.X yet, so I can't comment on that. However, I just
wanted to make sure you understand that the profile manager for SM 2.X
will see only the SM 2.X profiles - it won't see the SM 1.X profiles.
I am aware of that. I also took a precaution before importing the 1.x to
2.x archives and configuration, I made sure that I had only only one
profile in the older SeaMonkey Mails. That was probably a mistake as now
I cannot create a second profile, rename, or do anything in the 2.0.x
Profile Manager.
My intention was to delete all the older versions of SeaMonkey, but the
malfunctioning 2.0.4 Profile Manager forced me to reinstall 1.1.19
yesterday, and use that for the second profile. A new conflict came up
with this. Although the programs and profiles are all in different
folders, the 2.0.x desktop icons sometimes link to the 1.1.19 program
instead of 2.0.x.
Obviously, I would like to have just one SeaMonkey program running, the
latest version. That I cannot create a second profile in 2.0.4, is a
major problem for me.
I hope there is a fix for the non-functional Profile Manager in 2.0.x.
I wonder if perhaps the path to profile manager is for the older 1.x
installs? If you have both 1.x and 2.x installed there will be two
profile managers, one for each. Maybe putting in the the full path to
the SM 2.0 version will help. See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
Also, right-click the profile manager menu item, select 'Properties' and
make sure that the one in the Start Menu actually has the correct path
for SM 2.0. I have multiple versions on SeaMonkey installed on the XP
test machine (on purpose) and have multiple SeaMonkey Start Menu's
(SeaMonkey, SeaMonkey2 etc), so if I'm not careful I may bring up the
wrong profile manager. That probably is not your case, but worth checking.
None of the discussions that have ensued from my initial request apply
to me. I am accustomed to having two installations of two versions
simultaneously since the early days of the first Mozilla Suite (and
going back even further). So I am not accidentally opening one version
for the other or mistaking one profile manager for the other - where the
profiles have different names to prevent such confusion.
It was during the initial import process from the 1.1.1x to 2.0.x that
the 2.0.x Profile Manager apparently became corrupted. Finding no "fix"
for this anywhere, the only way I could resolve the problem was by
making a new installation of 2.0.4 in a folder separate from the prior
2.0.x installation, and then copying over the mail and newsgroup folder
contents, but I did not copy over configuration folder contents except
for the bookmarks and addressbook. The newest installation, however, did
not give the option of migrating/importing files from any other
SeaMonkey to another - only from outside programs that I have never used.
This created a whole new set of problems. I ended up losing all my
passwords (not the master password which I do never activate) that are
stored in signons.sqlite and signons3.txt that had been converted during
the first 2.x installation. Simply copying these two files over from the
corrupted folder to the new profile does not activate them, and I could
not find any instructions how to import them otherwise such as exist for
importing from one 1.x installation to another 1.x.
Can anyone help me now? I have spent several days on this frustrating
problem. Thank you in advance.
