In Win7, the information that SeaMonkey needs to locate any profiles
is contained in the Windows Registry (I think :-( ).
Where is the similar information stored for Linux??
I'm thinking it might be in a file something like "prof.ini" or some
such and, as I don't have such a file in my Linux profile, that might
explain why my Linux SM cannot locate its profile.
it's usually in /home/user/.mozilla/seamonkey/profiles.ini
Ahh! Close buy no Cookie Jar for my suggesting prof.ini!!
Off to check this out .... or try re-installing SM if no luck.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why? What are you hoping to accomplish? Your can reinstall as much as
you like it does not affect your profile.
but, if the current installation of SM still did not want to "find" and
use the profile, a re-installation might/maybe/perhaps/(you never know)
find the profiles.
However the re-installation was not necessary as SM did find the
profiles after I made the adjustments to "profile.ini". Just that now
it's as slow as a wet week in starting up, so I've got other problems!
With information provided you can move a SM profile from computer to
computer, even to another OS.
Did I mention I use the same profile for this Win7 SM install.
Your profile contains files that point to other files. In many cases,
the Windows installation of SeaMonkey uses the Windows form of file
paths. For example:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop
Does not Linux use the UNIX form file paths? For example:
C:/Documents_and_Settings/User/Desktop
I'll have to check this for you, David. Tomorrow, maybe!
