How to eliminate those 7 lines that i don't care and push down my
bookmarks ?
Really not an enhancement ...


More .... the second problem:

I have an local .html file that i use as a kind of bookmarks.
Each link have been parametized to open in a new window.
When links have been visited, the color changed (normal)
when all links have been visited they have the same color.
When i click on a link a new window is open (normal)
When i close this window, my display returns to my link list (normal)
In the past (with SM 2.0.x) the just visited link is surrounded by a
rectangle composed of lines of dots.
NOW this rectangle is not present - so i did not know what was the
just
visited link...grrr....
Really not an enhancement ...

You can call me Ray, you can call me Jay. Just don't call me late for
dinner.

Every software update, upgrade is going to have some items that
individual users don't like.

I'm not crazy about the extra lines in my bookmarks. I'm learning
how to
deal with that.

I had to edit most of my install.rdf files to make my add-ons work. But
I learned how to deal with that.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it don't do what you want then take
the steps to make it work, or learn to live with it, or find software
that better meets your needs.

SM 2.1 is free. It's secure. The people that keep it going don't make
any money for their efforts. I can deal with it. 8-)

To all the SeaMonkey developers, Thank You!

How can I find out more about editing install.rdf files to make add-ons
work?

I can tell you how to do it.

What Add-Ons do you have and did you remove them when they didn't work?

If they're still available, then editing their install.rdf file is
pretty easy. If you removed them, well, it's a little more complicated.


JD - A few of the add-on's which do not work for me, that I want to use
include: password exporter, folderpane tools, password maker and, user
agent switcher.

Your assistance would be great in getting these working. I just deleted
viewsource, do not need IE Tab Plus if UA works (or if that should be
used in lieu of agent switch please let me know).

TIA - Bo1953

If you did not remove the add-ons, you need to edit the install.rdf file for each one.

I'm using Windows XP and the add-ons are located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\"UserName"\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\"randomletters".default\extensions

"UserName" and "randomletters".default will be different on your machine and won't have the " " marks.

Many of the folders for the add-ons are a series of random letters and numbers. In each of the folders for the add-ons, there is a install.rdf file. You open that file with a text editor, I use WordPad.

Look for lines that say: Mozilla SeaMonkey, targetApplication, Description. Below that should be a line that says: <em:maxVersion>2.0b1</em:maxVersion>

Change that 2.0b1 or whatever is there, to 2.1.

Save the changes to the file and you should have your add-on back.

If you've never done this before, save a copy of the original install.rdf as install.rdf.txt so if you make a mistake you can delete your edited file and just rename the .txt version.
