Can I move entire Folder that contains Preference newsgroups, Mail
extension and such To the new computer in same location then download a
fresh copy SeaMonkey and it open from scratch.I'd also like to do
similar with Camino, and FireFox as well.
Its been years since I've had to do this. This computer I am on is
about
7 years old. I'm not one of these types that replace computer every 6
months to two years because the software call for it. Usually on a Mac
you shift when there is a shift processors and system software is
written that will only use that new processor type.
this will be only my 5th Mac since 1986. So I don't do this often At
least I'd like to bring over my Mailboxes, Bookmarks, Password, and
newsgroups and my plugins and extensions.
That's what I've done in the past, but I do a clean install on the new
machine first and then move items/folders individually - generally just
my Mail/News items, but now that I'm a bit more up on the structure I'd
just move the whole Profile folder contents, I think.
Provided, of course, that the two machines have the same version
installed. You wouldn't wanna drop a v.2 folder into a v.1 machine.
And I wouldn't want to guess what would happen if the helper apps named
on the source machine weren't present on the target machine.
Yes - agreed. But even so, some components can be re-targeted if one
knows/is familiar with the file structure.
If you know how to edit the helper apps list in v. 2, I'm sure a lot of
us would like to hear it. AFAIK the user no longer has any access other
than to view the list.
see this screenshot? you can't Highlight then click the button as shown?
