Hello all, running SM 2.29.1 on Win 8.1
I want to delete a few unused/unneeded profiles while moving my SM
folder from one drive to another.
Consistently I receive an error message which says something to the
effect "cannot delete as this profile is in use etc.." despite the
fact that SM is NOT running, how do I take care of this? I need to
move the profile as it is hogging up a small drive and causing problems.
TIA - bo1953
Okay, now my challenge is, I have moved the SM profile from disk C to
disk D, my issue is after pointing the new profile in SM Profile
Manager, I receive the following message:
SeaMonkey cannot use the profile"Default user1." It may be in use,
unavailable or damaged. Please choose another profile or create a new one.
What is the issue I have created here in trying to change the profile
location? I have been able to change two (2) others without issues.
TIA - bo1953
Locate the file profles.ini for SeaMonkey. In my configuration (and in
general), it is at
<C:\Users\zyx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\profiles.ini>, where
"zyx" is my Windows account name.
The file should contain a pointer to the folder where your profile is
located. That would be the item Path. I suggest you specify a complete
path, starting with D:\, in which case the item IsRelative should be 0
(zero).
When I did this, I then had to modify prefs.js in a plain-text editor
while SeaMonkey was terminated. For preference variables having values
that were paths to various folders and files, I had to change some of
them to reflect the new location of the profile. For example, my home
page is the export of bookmarks from places.sqlite (automatically done
every time I terminate SeaMonkey). The exported file resides in my
profile, so I had to change that from a C:\ path to the new D:\ path.
Okay, David, just to be clear before I go off and start changing things
in the prefs log file, for example, I can do a a right click on the
file, then click on 'Edit'. from there I can go to 'Edit' then to
'Replace' where the values inserted are C: and D: respectively, this
would make, in essence, the correct changes to the path I need in order
to use the new profile?
TIA again... bo1953
