trying to migrate a system to 2.0.7, with multiple profiles. Linux x86.
Started the new SM, asked about migration, picked a profile, migration
worked, all was well. Then tried to migrate another, using directions
from several sources, multiple postings on the list, magazine articles,
and my own notes.
seamonkey -P NewName -migrate gives a list of existing profiles
seamonkey -createProfile NewName creates a new profile
seamonkey -P NewName -migrate starts the new profile - totally default
migration manager never starts.
All sources agree that should work, it doesn't.
I wonder which sources these would be since they are either all wrong or
you read/copied it incorrectly.
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.0.7/>, Known
Issues, point 2 links to
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_migration_-_SeaMonkey> which clearly
(and correctly) states that the command line option which is to be used
in connection with "-P" is called "-migration", not "-migrate".
I noted that in my followup post about 18 hours before your post, the lines were
typed from memory.
I further note that while 1.1.x supported profile names containing blanks, they
get an invalid path warning in 2.0.7, at least when trying the two step process
from command line. I have not attempted any other procedures, since I had to
restore the whole .mozilla directory after the failure, to be sure I was back to
working configuration.
