Thank you, Jonathan, but that's not the problem I'm interested in. I
see you are on WOW64 Windows 7, the same as me. Could you please have
a go at giving yourself a new, test, SeaMonkey profile by selecting
Tools->Switch Profiles->Manage Profiles and then, on the second
screen, give this Profile a Name then Click on the "Choose Folder"
button, pick a new location (i.e. *not* the one suggested by
SeaMonkey) and see if the Location on the "Create Profile Wizard"
screen has changed to the location you had selected??
No need to actually create the Profile (unless you want one), just
cancel your way out of the "Create Profile Wizard" screen.
I'm on Win 7 Pro (64-bit) too, using SM 2.49.1, and I did just as you
said. And just as you would predict, it failed.
I chose an external drive, and when I clicked the "Select Folder"
button, I was returned to the previous dialog where it informed me that
my profile would be stored in... exactly the default folder it had
originally proposed. No matter how many times I "selected" the other
location, SM ignored my selection and promised to save the profile just
where it pleased.
You need to select a folder on the drive, not the drive itself. The
profile is created directly in the specified folder, not in a salt.name
subfolder. That's what I found yesterday when I tried with SeaMonkey
2.49.1 on Windows Vista (sorry... should have mentioned in my response
that I'd actually tried it on Windows!)
