Hi everyone, I am transitioning from Vista to Windows 7. I've been using Seamonkey for years now and migrating from XP, Vista, etc quite successfuly. Overall, Seamonkey browser seems to be working fine. I do not have any issue.
The problem that I am facing is with the Profile Manager (again under Windows 7 x64). For sake of discussion, I am using Seamonkey 2.10 and I have also tried the new 2.11 beta. No difference in what I am describing below. I am trying to generate a new profile to add to the default profile you get. As example, I am using "Test". I went through the "All Program --> Seamonkey -- Profile Manager" route. Then, go to Create Profile. Then, I can enter the new name. But, when I click Finish, nothing refresh (I can keep pressing Finish but there is no reaction, that windows remains there). Then, I have to click Cancel to skip that window. After clicking Cancel, I am back to Profile Manager window, but no profile is generated under Available Profiles. Nevertheless, and curiously, I can see that a new folder has been created under AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Seamonkey/Profiles. But, this new profile is not available through the Profile manager. I tried to close and open Seamonkey to see if it will refresh, but it is not there. Then, I tried using Tools-->Switch Profile and then create a new profile. The same problem happens when you reach Finish buttom. That windows does not react and you do not see a new Profile being created. You get stick in the Finish windows and the only using Cancel you can get back to Profile Manager windows. In the Profile Manager windows no new profile appears. However, in this case, if I close the Profile Manager window and I reopen it again (through Tools-->Switch Profile), I can see a new Profile being created. This was promising. HOWEVER, if I close Seamonkey and I check if the new profile is available through All Program -->Seamonkey-->Profile Manager, I cannot see the new profile at all. Furthermore, after re-opening Seamonkey, if now Ii go back again to Tools-Switch Profile the new profile is not being shown anymore. Once again, if I check on AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Seamonkey/ Profiles I can see that a neww folder has been opened, simply is not being shown as part of the available profiless. Because, it seems to me that this problem is related to x64 or Windows 7 (I used Windows Vista x32 in a different machine without problem to create new profile), I decided to use the Windows Virtual PC on the same computer. I downloaded the Seamonekey and installed under the Windows Virtual PC. Then, I went to All Program -->Seamonkey-->Profile Manager. The Profile Manager opened and I click Create New Profile. I typed the new profile name and click "Finish". And immediatly, the new Profile was added in the Profile Manager. The "Finish" buttom worked perfectly under the Windows Virtual PC . Also, the new profile was created and was available after closing and opening Seamonkey again. All this, once again, under Windows Virtual PC. So, it seems that something in the Profile Manager is not working well under Windows 7 or, alternative, it is a 64 bits issue. As far as I understand, the Windows Virtual PC runs in XP mode and 32 bits. My temporal fix is to use Seamonkey through the Windows Virtual PC, but this is annoying as I need to be switching windows and I would like to migrate completely to Windows 7 and x64 bits. So, I would like too know if this is a know issue by Seamonkey and if there is a fix too go through and create a new Profile that is available after opening or closing Seamonkey. Thanks. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
