Hi Guys, Thanks for your responses. No it doesn't happen in Firefox. I've used Seamonkey for a long time now and it has been great and there are two things I will really miss leaving it :( The brilliant, neat way it allows you to minimize tool bars. Beats me why Firefox doesn't use that method. It's so easy to switch on and off saving maximum screen space wasted by occasionally used tool bars without having to go through any option menus. And of course I'll miss the ability to edit, trim, or annotate saved pages which is also extremely handy for my purposes. I Guess that will never make it into Firefox(?) This recent change to Seamonkey is driving me nuts and I'll have to vote with my finger tips. Imagine you've been saving daily instances of particular pages, up to half a dozen pages and images per site and often up to 40 or more sites per day. You have a sensible directory structure yymmdd allowing you to find any, year, month and day and have been doing that for many years . Then the Seamonkey developers have a brain wave to associate Web sites with saved Windows directories which obviously suits someone's purpose (saving comics I see :) but as far as I can find out they don't provide any configuration option to chose the long standing save page Windows directory convention. It's almost as bad as Microsoft Developers forcing Excel & other office application users to switch to their new fangled 'ribbon menu' system, losing a host of previous functions in the process and destroying hundreds of thousand's (millions?) of long term user's years of application experience and competence. Those developers must have just come out of high school and are starting from scratch. I hope someone does something like that to them in 10 - 15 years. No, it's not that bad!!! Many Web pages I save with Seamonkey use a constant page name so if you are working fast it's now far too easy to overwrite yesterday's pages or images with today's page (it's in the wrong directory...), or if you give pages changed, or dated names, they end up in yesterday's directory. Every done a 'Web Page Complete' save for a complex page with 15 or 20 sub directories into the wrong directory and then have to shift everything to the correct directory? Just another a tedious interruption. I was hoping someone would have a configuration fix for this problem but I guess not so I'll just have to bite the bullet and switch permanently to Firefox, and use a separate page editor when needed. There are also some image problems I have with Seamonkey that don't happen in Firefox. Try accessing this page: http://www.kitco.com/charts/livegold.html with both browsers. Notice anything missing with Seamonkey? On mine I can't see the GIF charts. Maybe it's configuration but both browsers I have use the default installation. Chrome and all other browsers work fine. And there are other Web sites that I have image problems with Seamonkey, many Wikipedia images for example. Anyway I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth Seamonkey has been a tremendous 'free' effort by many talented individuals for a long time, in the big scheme of things my gripes are only minor matters. Cheers to all, Doc Crock. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
