I have been trying to set up my Linux SeaMonkey to use the same profile
files as my Win7 SeaMonkey 2.49.1 on my Win E:\ drive. In doing this, I
had stuffed up the location, you know, that bit where you select a
location for the Profile .... and SeaMonkey puts the Profile in a folder
*BELOW* that selected location!! This has resulted in my Windows
SeaMonkey, when I boot up the Mail & News Screen, listing all the
abook.mab, booklist.xml, blocklist-addons.json, bookmarkbackups, Cache,
cache2, cert8.db, etc, etc, something like 50 files and folders showing
up on-screen in my Win7 SeaMonkey e-mail account screen.
No problem, I thought, its about time I had a new profile and then I
could just copy over the required files and then, after some time, I
could delete and remove all the old profiles and their files/folders. Or
so I thought!!
I started SeaMonkey, went to Tools->Switch Profiles, selected "Manage
Profile" then "Create Profile" and created a new Profile. Of course, I
like to install my Profiles where I want, on my E:\, so on the second
screen, I selected "Choose Folder" and selected where I wanted the
Profile on the E:\ drive.
When I finished the Profile creation, I noticed the "Create Profile
Wizard" screen showed that my "user settings, preferences and other
user-related data" would be stored at
C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\(gobble-de-gook.Default
User.
No problem, I thought, that's just where "they" store the extraneous
part of the Profile. Then I went looking for my profile and it wasn't
anywhere near where I had told SeaMonkey to put it! I then tried to
create a new Profile directly under my E:\ .... and it didn't show up,
but still the
C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\(gobble-de-gook.Default
User was showing up on the Create Profile Wizard.
What am I doing wrong?? Or is the "Create Profile Wizard" broken in that
it will not allow me to put a Profile where I want it?? Could someone
else try creating a new Profile using the "Create Profile Wizard" on
Win7 or, possible 10, in SeaMonkey 2.49.1??
TIA
