This is my idea also .... replacing double-backslash by single-backslash
could destroy the pref.js file ...
This is what I have in my pref.js file:
user_pref("browser.download.dir",
"C:\\ADDON\\ADDED\\Mozilla-Suite\\SeaMonkey\\2.0.2");
user_pref("browser.download.lastDir",
"C:\\ALLDATA\\RandoEvasion\\INSCRITS");

Is that in the prefs.js file itself, or the about:config page? I'm on
Linux at the moment so can't easily check, but I think the
about:config page usually shows single backslashes, but in the
prefs.js file (where Daniel appears to be looking) they're doubled
since backslash is used to escape special characters in the strings.

You might have a separate dir in the content prefs for the site.
First please replace the double backslashes with single ones in
browser.download.lastDir. Mine has a normal windows path in it:
D:\Newstuff Also use the data manager to see if there is a site
specifc content pref.

Well, the other idea I suggested was to look in that download
directory. Right-click that recent download from the results pane
and choose "open file location," which will show you the
directory containing that recent download. If the SM 2.49
installer's not there, that would confirm that you don't have it,
that you need to download it (again).
Paul, as I've stated, there's no entry appearing in the SeaMonkey
Download Manager to right-click on. ;-(
No, I mean the results pane from a Windows Explorer search. You
say the DM acknowledges your other recent downloads -- search on
the most recent one and open that directory in WE. That's the one
SM will use until and unless you change it.
Ah!! O.K.! Wait.
That communicator-v451-export.x86-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz file was
stored/saved to my C:\Users\Daniel\Downloads directory ... which
doesn't list any SM 2.49.4
Guess I'll have to check out my prefs.js file to see where it
thinks downloads should go.
O.k., I checked out my (Windows7) prefs.js and found many prefs that
referred to Mail & News accounts, but I think the ones that might be
of interest are ....
user_pref("browser.download.lastDir", "C:\\Users\\Daniel\\Downloads");
user_pref("browser.download.save_converter_index", 0);
user_pref("pref.downloads.disable_button.edit_actions", false);
So does that mean my problem is with the "\\"'s, which seemed very
common with-in the file??
