Backing up my /home directory under Linux, I noticed that it spent a few
minutes backing up my Seamonkey Cache. This is *not* time well spent so
I decided to do something about it.
Preferences -> Privacy and Security.
I checked 'Always clear my private data when I close Seamonkey' and
'Cache'. Problem solved! All I have to do is leave Seamonkey (which I
do anyway) before taking a backup and all will be fine.
No.
Instead of actually deleting my Cache, Seamonkey helpfully renamed the
Cache directory as Cache.Trash[10-digit-number]. Which I then spent
several minutes backing up.
What is the point of this behaviour? The option is under "Privacy and
Security". Just renaming the contents is neither.
Seamonkey 2.14, the 64-bit Linux version.
I have had this option set for months at work (Windows 7 x 32) so I need
to see if I have 0, 1 or n similar directories there. Tomorrow.
