 I thought they wanted (and deserve...) feedback when they get it wrong?

 The itty-bitty buttons on the new Download panes are pretty clearly 
 wrong.  Particularly for laptop users.  It was right before...make it 
 right again.  That seems like common sense, to me.

 I may have the team at a disadvantage because I DO evaluate human 
 interfaces for software for a living, but my comments still stand - and 
 I hope those whom are coding are listening...to ALL of us whom are not 
 pleased.  I have a growing list of gripes I plan to submit formal bug 
 reports against.

A real professional qualified UX person! This is great! Rufus could you
do us a great favour and read the comments in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513691
(Sanitize redesigned download progress window)

And then write up a cogent summary of why the mini buttons are wrong,
wrong, wrong. Almost all the SeaMonkey developers are actually against
the mini buttons. The only person in favour of the mini buttons is,
unfortunately, KaiRo, the project co-ordinator.

Until now all we have is 100% negative feedback from our users
(dismissed by KaiRo as I'm right, everyone else is wrong) and
anecdotal evidence from the other developers.

Now if a professional human interfaces person like you could come up
with some authoritative statement (and the reasoning) about the
undesirability of the mini buttons. I'm sure all of us will thank you.

 That is a damn good question  why should SM have anything to do with 
 iTunes but, I can tell you that it did totally destroy my iTunes 
 library.  It happened before too but, this time I had a backup.

You didn't do something totally stupid and kept your iTunes library
inside the SeaMonkey application directory did you? Otherwise SeaMonkey
has totally no idea where your iTunes library lives so it would be
totally unable to trash it even if it wanted to.

Yes, this is normal.  The Local Settings path is for files that

If you're asking how it got that way, I can't answer. Perhaps someone
else can if you make that point clear.

I don't see how it can be a problem to have it pointing to a directory
not in/under your profile directory, as I expect that is why the
application allows you to change it. In fact, I can see that someone
may want to place the cache in a file system that has plenty of space,
so you don't need to limit the maximum size of the cache.

Best Regards,


And another good reason to *NOT* have the cache in the same location as 
the profile is that when you back-up your profile, you don't necessarily 
want to save all you cache info.


I don't know that it would make much difference where the Cache folder 
actually is, except for hard drive ware and tare!!

Can anyone help me figure out how to transfer the spell check from

Rudra, when you run the Spell Checker, you get the option to Download 
more Dictionaries. Download and Install the new dictionary then do a 
Windows Find Folder/File, looking for persdict (without the quotes).


Persdict.dat is the file where your mother special words/spellings are 
saved. The newest one should/might be a blank one created by the 
installation of the new dictionary. Select the next newest one and 
copy/paste to when the new one is.


Then she should be right to go.

Same results - unable to use Message/Edit Message As New
After highlighting and deleting the To line then typing 1 or two
characters SeaMonkey hangs (Not Responding).

It appears as though the hang occurs once SM has enough characters to
complete the new address.  Perhaps in the routine that looks up
addresses while typing.

 PAUSE WHILE I TRY SOMETHING THAT JUST CAME TO ME 

I disenabled the 'Address Autocomplete' option.  It now works fine and
lets me enter the entire address manually without a hangup.

Now I'm going to enable 'Look for matching entries in local address
books'.  SM hung - Not Responding  This, to me, would verify that
somewhere in the address lookup routine there's a problem.

The file referenced in the crash is gkwidget.dll.


As one who is looking a purchasing a new laptop before Christmas, and
looking at getting a 64 bit one with Windows 7 on it, I'll have to keep
an eye on this thread.


AFAIK it's recommended to run SM2.x on WinVista and Win7 for better 
compatibility. (the 32bit version should do just fine though)
Has something to do with the xpcom (which is not even present at SM2? in 
that case it can't crash ;-P)

Ah, sure, sorry that I have missed the point. At least I have imported

SM2 is NOT Junk! ;)

2009-12-08 Thread Arne
I have now used SM2 intensively in the last 7 hours, since I installed 
it on my Vista Business. So far all so good!


My main concern was if I could find the extensions I badly want to 
have compatible, but that was the least problem! I don't need many, 
and all installed smoothly when I managed to find them. ;)


Even the experimental version of the new Swedish dictionary 
installed perfectly and works. I picked that because SM refused to 
install the older versions as not compatible.


I had to copy and paste the plugin's (.dll files) for embedded WMP 
movies from SM1 to SM2. But instead I was positively surprised that I 
now could watch (flash) movies on two newspaper's sites, where it 
previously was impossible to do with SM1. And that happen without my 
need to do anything after the install of SM2! :D


Wanted to share this, with a big THANKS GUYS! to the developers! I'll 
get back IF I found something to complain about, or at least need an 
advise in some matter, and I keep my SM1 for some time yet just in 
case. :D

can SM 2.0 and 1.1.18 co exist?

2009-12-08 Thread hawker
I would like to upgrade to 2.0 and start trying it but there is at least 
one extension that does not work in 2.0 that is a near show stopper for me.


That said I am also having issues in 1.1.18 that I hear were corrected 
in 2.0.


Can I install SM in a different directory and use Mozbackup or some such 
to clone the profiles to each? This way I can run both versions on the 
same machine.  I realize moving forward from the clone they will have 
different bookmarks etc, but that is fine.


Will 2.0 1.1.18 coexist on the same machine and play well?  What happens 
with the user profiles in this situation? Do they share or can they be 
separated?

That doesn't really help. What would help is a suggestion how to make it

I'm missing in all that discussion is constructive ideas how to make it

And then write up a cogent summary of why the mini buttons are wrong,

unfortunately, KaiRo, the project co-ordinator.

Until now all we have is 100% negative feedback from our users
(dismissed by KaiRo as I'm right, everyone else is wrong) and
anecdotal evidence from the other developers.


adding a (very...) small percentage of the many people that DO NOT 
express their opinion often and DO NOT jump up to any protest, I find:
- Seamonkey 2.0 as a whole a pretty good and efficient product, for me, 
my personal and professional use.

- The download manager with its small buttons not an annoyance at all.
- The migration process working mostly (although I advise from time to 
time to redo your SM profile, in order to start from a clean state 
(specially after adding or removing many add-ons, extensions and doing 
changes to the defaults...).


Hope this voicing of a SM user who is 99% satisfied helps re-balance the 
strong voicing we tend to see a bit too much here

No, the only thing we really know is that is sometimes doesn't import

that it reproducibly destroyed anything at all (and I ignore your 
rudeness of writing all-caps messages).

Water off a Ducks back.  I am wondering if it is because I have SM 
installed in Documents and Settings?  Perhaps I should try Program Files.
The interesting thing is though when SM2 installs it does not look 
anything look 1.1.18.  There is a box that says something like 
installing (or) updating GRE and then it is finished--that is a box 
comes up and says Finished.

When the shortcut is clicked nothing happens.

John, i am afraid that logic, in the sense you want to use it, does not 
apply to computers. There is no clear link between SeaMonkey and iTunes, 
indeed, none at all.  SeaMonkey simply could not be causing this 
problem, it is clearly something else.


By your logic, if I pat my cat, and a vase falls from a shelf, patting 
the cat caused the vase to fall.  Computers, and, for that matter, life 
are simply not that simplistic.


Lee

I think that you are wrong.  If no downloads, files or any other 
computer operation is running except the install of SM2 and it clearly 
fails since SM does not work after the install and iTunes is corrupted, 
the only conclusion I can draw from that is that SM was the problem

on almost all my machines (unless forms are needed or I have multiple profiles), 
and I was looking for something which worked not new features.


Thanks for the clarification.


Similarly if/when a new major branch is cut from the trunk (e.g. 2.1)
the tip of the trunk will be bumped to e.g. 2.2a1pre (unless you are
firefox where you get silly progressions like 2.0 - 2.5 - 3.0 - 3.5
- 3.6 - 3.7 - 4.0)

It's all the same code as SeaMonkey, though, just in a different package. Be 
glad they didn't pick something like mersine primes for version numbers.

I'll take a wild guess that if you save the message and look at the actual data, 
that either an odd character set is being used, or one with a high bit set. In 
any case, it uses ? to note a character it can't display.


A filter option for character sets other than a few user provided defaults would 
be useful. Running Linux I can do that filtering upstream of the user agent, so 
I just see it as a crap count in rejects.

Bill Davidsen wrote:

Like many people who don't quite understand the NNTP protocol and 
equate it to mail or web or mailing list or something they thought up, 
you are confusing DELETE (move to trash or just erase) with CANCEL 
(send NNTP CANCEL message, attempt to remove this from every server 
everywhere). Oddly, people delete mail from their mailbox and don't 
expect all other cc recipients will lose their copy. That's the way 
the news reader should work, I don't want to see this headers in the 
header list any more, I'm not interested. If the message is 
downloaded, get rid of it. Just like mail.


SeaMonkey can take a delete rule in a message filter and not get 
excited because it's not my message, why can't news work right? The 
conceptual problem is old, whoever wrote the key bindings bound delete 
to mean cancel, k to mean throw away this thread, and no obvious way 
to just throw the message away. I would love to have news work as 
mail, and add some additional command to actually attempt to sent the 
CANCEL.


News does work right. The fundamental difference between news and mail 
is that news messages do not belong to you (except of course your own 
posts). So they are not deleted when you download them (POP3 model), and 
you have no right to delete them on the server (IMAP model). What you 
/can/ do is hide them (e.g. by killing the thread or marking them as 
read), and that's why this group's 11,434 messages look to me like 26.


No, the NNTP interface to DELETE is to try to send a CANCEL message, whereas the 
mail function of DELETE is a local removal to junk or the bit bucket. Having the 
same key do very different things in news and mail was a bad design decision, 
and the user can't remap keys because there's no function (unless it's 
undocumented) to mark a message never show me other than the K function 
which hides the whole thread.


If I were designing this over, I would have a delete subthread capability to 
hide a post and any reply with a references header including the evil post. I am 
neither asking for nor offering to write that, just saying that it would be 
vastly useful for people who hijack threads or deflect the topic.


I believe that the functions of news and mail should do the same thing, and that 
there should be a way to not see something, by erading the headers as well as 
marking it read.


Unless you're a total idiot who constantly posts stupid $#!+ (and I 
don't think you are), chances are you really don't need to /delete/ all 
your messages, just the occasional misfire. And a filter isn't the right 
tool for that, it takes wetware.


On the other hand, I would find it convenient to be able to plonk 
certain writers (or should I say wrongers?) without having to sift 
through a hundred messages or so every day for their names...


And you can do that in a filter before you see the post, once it's read you can 
only hide all unread. There are reasons for not doing that, too.

All I can say is that I tried several times to install 2.0 over 1.1.18

that there is a problem moving between the two.


So this means SeaMonkey does not support migration from 1.1.18 to 2.0?

Sir, your logic escapes me.


No they are talking about there is a Migration assistant to go from
1.1.18 to 2.0, but if you are dumb enough to wait until 2.1 to jump.
then you be unable to bring over your files automatically unless you

I don't know which. I all I know is what the developers are saying that
there is a Migration assistant built into 2, Tools menu import  choose

Are you sure that's how you initiate the migration wizard in SM 2.0?
I understood it differently. Have you actually done this?



But that there will not be one sufficient to import from SM 1.1.18.
everything. Part of it will be removed and will continue to be until

Sorry, you've completely lost me here. I have no idea what you're trying

I'm saying for now history data will be remove in migration manager so 
all your history will be left and not migrated. As other components are 
changed that portion will too be left out.  Until the point to migrate 
anything you'll have to do it manually.

Re: Domains and IP Addresses

2009-12-08 Thread Rickles

David E. Ross wrote:

Does SeaMonkey cache the translation from a domain name to an IP
address?  If so, how can I clear that cache?

That's done by Domain Name Service (DNS), and the length of time the 
record remains cached on your PC is called the Time-to-Live (TTL). 
That's part of the data passed to your cache from the DNS server that 
resolves the name-vs-IP request.


There are 3 ways to clear it:
*-at a command prompt, type 'ipconfig /flushdns', then Enter
*-reboot your PC
*-wait for the TTL value to render the cache contents invalid (default 
is normally 1 hour)


After any of those events, the next time you want to navigate to a page, 
 that page's IP address must be resolved through DNS again.  This gives 
you a fresh entry in your cache, and the whole cycle starts over.

Address book nicknames don't work as before

2009-12-08 Thread Jay O'Brien
Prior to 2.0, typing a nickname into the To line when composing a message would 
retrieve the address with that nickname. Now, addresses that start with that 
nickname show up as a selection before the desired address. For instance, my 
nickname is jjo. That used to bring up my address and insert it into the To 
line. Now, there are two selections. The first is someone whose email address 
is jjo...@... that is followed by a selection for my address. I don't want 
selections; if I have assigned a nickname, it should take priority over all 
others.

My workaround is to start the nickname with a space, then as there are no full 
addresses that start with a space, the nickname is the only selection. However, 
I want the Version 1 behavior back; how can I accomplish that?

 Do you have any idea how elitist that sounds?

Maybe you just got me wrong, please read on.

 Dozens of people have filed bugs, discussed this on servers, in chat
 rooms, and on other mailing lists. But they're just average users, and
 because this stuff means their user agent doesn't work they do care a
 great deal. And will the next time some totally undocumented option is
 needed to make some common task work. The tone of your average user
 comments shows how little you value other people's time.

My point is that the average user shouldn't have to care about these
prefs at all. At least not to work around bugs. The problem at hand is a
bug, and as such it should be fixed. It's just that *in this particular
case* dealing with these prefs helps to *work around* the bug until the
fix is available (here: with SM 2.0.1, due next week). In many other
cases there are no prefs, hidden or not, that help to work around a problem.

 Because this stuff might change is exactly why about:config should dump
 all available values. Or call it about:everything. People already know
 they may break something, and things may change, what's new?

Prefs that do not appear in about:config unless manually set are prefs
without obvious default, i.e. their default and type (!) solely depend
on how they are used in the internal implementation. As I said, the
implementation can change any day it is developed further. How should
those be shown in about:config when they are not set by the user (in
which case they already appear in the current situation)? How would the
user know which type (string/boolean/integer) they are and what possible
values would be?

OTOH, if a pref would be important enough to be useful for more than a
very small minority or seldom edge cases, the developers would only have
to define a default for it and it would appear in about:config by
default. If you find a pref that you think deserves that kind of
attention you can file a bug and request that. It'll depend on your
reasoning whether it'll be accepted or not (and the reviewers, of
course). All I'm saying is that making a pref visible by default just
because it works around a bug that should (and was!) be fixed another
way is the wrong way to go.

Re: Seamonkey 2.0 is JUNK .

2009-12-08 Thread MCBastos
Interviewed by CNN on 8/12/2009 13:30, John told the world:

 Water off a Ducks back.  I am wondering if it is because I have SM 
 installed in Documents and Settings?  Perhaps I should try Program Files.
 The interesting thing is though when SM2 installs it does not look 
 anything look 1.1.18.  There is a box that says something like 
 installing (or) updating GRE and then it is finished--that is a box 
 comes up and says Finished.
 When the shortcut is clicked nothing happens.

Let me get this straight. You have a highly non-standard setup -- you
install applications in what is designated by the system vendor
(Microsoft) as an user data area (I wonder if your iTunes setup is
non-standard too?), disregarding all the defaults and recommended
settings. Then something goes wrong -- and it's somehow Seamonkey's fault?

An aside: the most irate complaints I have seen in this forum came from
people who went out of their way to make things break. I remember a guy
complaining about Seamonkey not working right after forcing the
installation of 2.0 over 1.1.x. Another one cut  pasted his user
profile instead of using the import tool -- while the release notes are
very clear about the profile structure being changed.

THINK OTHERWISE, USING LOGIC, THAT IS!!!:o


John, i am afraid that logic, in the sense you want to use it, does not
apply to computers. There is no clear link between SeaMonkey and iTunes,
indeed, none at all.  SeaMonkey simply could not be causing this
problem, it is clearly something else.

By your logic, if I pat my cat, and a vase falls from a shelf, patting
the cat caused the vase to fall.  Computers, and, for that matter, life
are simply not that simplistic.

Lee


I think that you are wrong.  If no downloads, files or any other
computer operation is running except the install of SM2 and it clearly
fails since SM does not work after the install and iTunes is corrupted,
the only conclusion I can draw from that is that SM was the problem


Could it be you have some cross-linked files in which case you need a 
Drive utility to fix.  If your using a Mac AppleJack comes to mind if 
not using Leopard or Snow Leopard.



not very likely I ran checkdisk yesterday and no problems

 Later,  keith


To Keith, Robert Kaiser, Leonidas Jones, et al: First my system is Win
XP with sp3, a fairly fast memory and all that other technical stuff. I
have decided, in light of the FACT that a LOW-LIFE USER, like me, who
needs and needed clearer instructions and understanding than I will ever
get from the Developers and their supporters, have DELETED ver 2.0 from
my system as it is NOT an upgrade, and the FACT that any upgrades to it
will make it even harder to migrate what I do have to it, totally
unnecessarily and totally uncalled for! I did keep the download  of it,
in  case someone besides  Keith and Peter Potamus and Philip Jones,
decides to  develop a little bit of  true  support of all the LOW-LIFES
that are called USERS, and maybe even a little bit of a conscience and
even show a slight ability to convey instructions to said LOW-LIFE
USERS! To make it even clearer, I am NOT upgrading to WIN 7, if I ever
do, until sometime in the summer when they truly have a workable OS!
Thanks, Keith for your kind words and I wish others would try to HELP
more like you and Philip Jones and Peter Potamus, instead of sloughing
off us LOW-LIFE USERS as DIRT OR FUNGUS OR SOME SUCH! If, as is
predicted by the Developers, it becomes evident that 1.1.18 cannot be
migrated to version 2.xxx, because of their drive to make it as
complicated as they can, I will then have to switch to IE, HEAVEN
FORBID! You see, IE is already paid for as part of my OS, and why I keep
banging my head and heart on the likes of some people on this newsgroup
or the list, is beyond even my understanding! Except that , UNTIL NOW,
Netscape/SeaMonkey has been the better product, despite the snide
remarks of the developers to the contrary! I can guarantee you one
thing, SeaMonkey is on the verge of LOSING all the LOW-LIFE'S USERS, and
going back to being a Developers ONLY program, and that, in fact, has
been stated on this newsgroup and the support list, by many, many people
who have said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Now, either the DEVELOPERS get their
minds back on the ground and start using Common Sense or they are
going to become very lonesome people, very quickly! :-( =developers,
:-) =those who have Truely tried to help and listen to all the LOW-Life
users! By the way, how did I do this time, Keith? 8-)

I haven't installed SM 2.0 yet, but I think if there is a SM desktop

you can just create a separate desktop icon if you wish.

 
 If all the answers of those two questions are Yes i will give SM2 a

Just keep in mind that if SM 1.1.X is running (even in quick launch mode)
and you attempt to launch SM 2.0, it will open a new SM 1.1.X window
unless you provide the -no-remote command line option. I believe the
same will be true the other way around.

Also, if you have an e-mail account where you download your mail from
a server (like a POP server), then you may want to configure one of your
accounts to leave the messages on the server. Otherwise, once the message
is downloaded, it won't be available for the other account to see.

Unlike Firefox we don't have any UX guys (paid or unpaid) working on
this project.

The problem with common sense is that it is actually uncommon.

That doesn't really help. What would help is a suggestion how to make it 
_really_ better. We all know that the current design isn't really good 
(though I am convinced it's better than the old design overall). What 
I'm missing in all that discussion is constructive ideas how to make it 
really good. The only suggested option I heard so far is killing the 
progress windows completely, and I think that would make more people 
unhappy than the current design.


Robert Kaiser


Do NOT kill the progress windows!

All they need to do is to return the buttons to their former size - or 
at least half their former size, if they are trying to attempt to save 
some display space...that would be big enough to be able to accurately 
target them with a track pad on a laptop, IMO.  They should spend some 
time using the software with input devices other than an mouse - track 
ball, trackpad, pen tablet, etc.


...but they should also look at it on a net-book or at a resolution 
simulating that screen size/display size BEFORE they implement my half 
size suggestion to see if that really will work for all users.

the mini buttons. The only person in favour of the mini buttons is,
unfortunately, KaiRo, the project co-ordinator.

Until now all we have is 100% negative feedback from our users
(dismissed by KaiRo as I'm right, everyone else is wrong) and
anecdotal evidence from the other developers.


adding a (very...) small percentage of the many people that DO NOT 
express their opinion often and DO NOT jump up to any protest, I find:
- Seamonkey 2.0 as a whole a pretty good and efficient product, for me, 
my personal and professional use.

- The download manager with its small buttons not an annoyance at all.
- The migration process working mostly (although I advise from time to 
time to redo your SM profile, in order to start from a clean state 
(specially after adding or removing many add-ons, extensions and doing 
changes to the defaults...).


Hope this voicing of a SM user who is 99% satisfied helps re-balance the 
strong voicing we tend to see a bit too much here


Keep cool all...

Dominique



1) Do you primarily use a laptop?

2) If not, do you primarily use a mouse as a pointing device?


Most of the problems I've had with 2.0 are interface problems and not 
functional problems - both on my laptop and on my desktop...but they are 
REALLY annoying problems.

Everyone suggested to bring the regular buttons back, as everyone agrees 
that that is better than tiny round buttons stashed to the right. Just 
because you don't agree with that suggestion doesn't mean it doesn't exist.


Second.

Re: 1.18 Stops Working in Win 7

Robert Kaiser wrote:

Perhaps you should at least give the 2.0 form management a try?


There isn't none to speak of, without the aid of an extension.


Wrong. There is form *management*, even if there isn't an explicit 
window for it. The functionality to remember text entered into forms and 
propose it for filling in is there (and even works better then in 1.x, I 
might say). Not having a window to view what has been remembered and 
potentially remove things from there doesn't mean that there isn't any 
management of form entries.



Since you (the developers) don't have the desire, willingness, or people
to put the Forms manger equivalent of 1.1.18 into SM2, buy off the
fellow that created extension Forms History manager and have him
integrate it in to SM2.


Why don't you buy him off? Or do the integration work? You know, this is 
a volunteer project, not a do-it-for-money project. Or did you forget 
about that fact?

You should probably switch to the official 2.0.1 once it's there (or to 
the candidate we have right now), as it's basically the same and you 
will get security updates to it when we have some available.

I agree, even if I personally don't use them, I see why some people like 
them and really want to give those an experience that is functional, 
useful and well-designed at the same time. I just miss ideas on how to 
achieve that.

At the current position it looks like crap, at the former position it 
looks even worse. Suggestions? Text/Icon? If Icon, how should it look?


???

People, please come up with real ideas, right now all I hear is let's 
replace crapwork with crapwork!

Apology taken, but still I haven't seen reports of anything being 
provable destroyed, most people come to that wrong assumption just 
because they don't see their old data in 2.0, which is just because it 
wasn't migrated, but it still sits happily and completely undestroyed in 
the old 1.1.x profile.
