“Live Bookmarks” or RSS,XML,Atom in “Places”
Hello. I'm looking for a means of organizing my Places Library in such a way that I might focus only on "Live Bookmarks"; Places commonly identifiable by unique "RSS"/ Live Bookmarks icons, as separate them from "regular" URL's, identifying those which point to a dynamic list of news, or new URLs. I wish to limit "Library" queries to return only Places which are those RSS feeds, or "Live Bookmarks", yet I find such facility unbeknown to me. The default "Places"/ "Library", while it does afford several methods by which we might sort, and identify various Places, I know of no way of easily excluding common site URL's, as to return limited results from any Places search query. I admit, my first thought gravitates toward expecting some XPI / add-on might exist, already affording the query results grouping I seek, though such consideration is in conflict with my truer nature: I tend to expect the solution is already before me; I can find what I want from an unmodified Seamonkey release, yet I continue to overlook the standard function which might produce the results I desire. Perhaps there is no need for any /add-on/; moreover, according to my queries at AMO, no such add-on exists. Ideally, I hope the experts here might recommend a particular search pattern, designed precisely for isolating the RSS / Live Bookmarks I, as I intend to return. Perhaps there's a syntax I might employ for such isolated results. Ideally, I'd improve my ability to better query the Library, w/out any "requisite" add-ons. I look forward to your recommendations. Thank you! ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

SM 2.3 Changelog
TODO I'm afraid it concerns me to see "TODO" as a changelog: 2.2 to 2.3 Upgrade data. This curmudgeon is displeased and wary of the FF camp. As a user since Mosaic, it's difficult to find the proper description so I'll settle to say, I find it insulting to read of FF Update schedules should mirror that of Google-Chrome while that implementation manifests in a confused, likely unnerved user base. Please do not let that influence manifest likewise in Seamonkey. TODO: Best wishes... :wink: Post Script: please disregard any apparent duplicate "post;topic" of this nature, moments earlier. As advised by a Google Groups warning of "taking a long time to process" which appeared several minutes later (while the post itself did not appear, in accordance), I've posted again.

SM 2.3 Changelog: “TODO”
I'm afraid... seeing this concerns me. Please don't let Seamonkey become Firefox's “red-headed-stepchild”. Please let us not suffer the nonsensical patterns of late from that cr*p-factory (i.e. paraphrased, "following more the Update Schedule, and borrowed nomenclature; updates scheme of Google Chrome") for the In-Kids' Club. The kid in me likes the sugary side, while the curmudgeon in me actually posts topics.

History as Places item
Whomever came up w/ the idea of the "History" item, and the various denominations thereof: Thank you very much! That's rock n roll, man/ chica. That's the sort of thing i dig. Keep the groove-on that direction, I hope. It's difficult to notice everything, but-- at risk of nonsensical, more so than usual-- it's why Seamonkey kicks so much ass-sshhut-your-mouth (i'm just talkin' bout Seamonkey!) nice. now, if i can only remember what URL i want, of all this awesome aggregate, super-intelligent hyper-data ... what's that stuff-- hotter than gas... plasma! yeah, it's plasma-rific! not places. plasma-ces yep. that's it. your new word, right there. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Allow me to clarify, I would not concern myself with derailing, whether gratuitous, or otherwise, but here we have a conversation stemmed to suggest-- i dare say, ironically-- what are the proper ways of communication on this channel. I beg your pardon, if I may reiterate my primary concern. I do not require the reader sift the sludge of mine, to glean what signal travels along that noisy text. With experience, of course, I've become aware that I fail to squelch the noise from my signal, so I abstain from communique for the returns only continue diminishing, notwithstanding my considerable effort toward the opposite. A lonely man bares his burden, so to spare them his torment he refuses his callers. I am likewise cognitive, and I wish to spare you. As stated in the original text, allusion to /multiple profiles/ is not to open discussion of "profiles", but in preface to the primary concern. Furthermore, I presume a productive contribution, or the discussion which might ensue, is best appreciated within the context of the "now" (i.e. i enjoy the X on the Y release; the gizmo introduced in ver Z.1 works well, and I hope to see more development there; etc.), unless otherwise stated and understood as such (i.e. the conversation which /did/ ensue, here, as would rely upon speculation; the future of multiple profile management; public reaction and opinion; etc.). In handling discourse with kid-gloves, communication breakdown is a likely result, albeit undesirable for effective communication. It stands to reason, then, we're “damned if we do; damned if we don't”, and /Hank Hill/ I suspect would agree, or Confucius. Guffaw. Original signal, reprocessed, sans gloves; sans preface: 1.) Firefox and Seamonkey Sync suffer from an apparent lack of foresight. 2.) Sync, it seems, operates on a quantitative assessment, while qualitative attributes: A.) are evaluated erroneously B.) while the attributes (quality) of "places" are of primary importance ... it seems the Sync evaluation somehow effectively disregards attributes in favor of quantity of items. I'd wished to abstain from hacking-up the sort of presentation I've provided, directly above, but perhaps it's best for clarity. Another way of saying it: If I never see another "Getting Started", "BBC Headlines" RSS, and link to Firefox something or other-- it will be too soon. (yet, i suspect i'll see it all again, real soon.) best wishes. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Multiple Seamonkey and Firefox Profiles: Everything but the Kitchen Sync
I suspect I'm not the only user who maintains multiple Firefox and Seamonkey profiles. Whatever the reason for doing so (i.e. to have profiles w/ few xpi's installed, some targeting web dev, some social b.s., separate e-mail config, another for... whatever), I find some quirks imposed by the otherwise groovy "Sync" bit. Remarkably, I didn't recognize the global affect of Sync-- from Firefox to Seamonkey-- until I found myself forever tweaking my "Bookmarks bar", when it finally occurred to me that the changes to the toolbar items, and the arrangement thereof, was not mere manifestation of poo-brain[1] or simply as bookmarks used to be-- different in every browser. The madness into which I indulged, addictive, fervently chasing the dragon after so many unique www-browser invocations (Fox / Monkey, separate unique instances, many profiles); as imposed if by poltergeist, the continuing appearance of disarray-- after I'd ordered them-- finally came to a sensible resolve when I realized my efforts were my own undoing. It occurs to me now, perhaps the Sync users-- like "Opera Link" users preceding-- should be more challenged by some hurdles before Sync is activated, to allow Mozilla / add-on dev'rs opportunity to more forcibly impose fair warning of the implications of "Sync"-ing multiple profiles, browsers, etc. In short (right), what first confounded me, later seemed only nature; to be expected from /merging/ sources (never mind Sync is clearly in active development). Forgive me, for the above is not the primary topic I wished to present, but rather a preface to it. I wanted to acknowledge that I realize there are likely other users who maintain multiple profiles: I apologize if the following has already been covered, regarding Sync, and multiple profiles; seamonkey-sync/firefox-sync users. Due to Sync, which I so enthusiastically enabled, and configured across-the-board (without regret, for mozilla's model provides ample headroom, w/ the .json backups, etc), I find quite often the "Getting Started", along with "Most Visited 'smart bookmarks/ places'", and the RSS for "Latest Headlines" appear in my Bookmarks Toolbar. Considering the genius which I can only imagine must be employed to make the "Places" functional (smart bookmarks): why not configure Sync to exclude the "default" bookmarks from those accounts which have existed. Perhaps this isn't the best way to qualify the "problem". I reckon there is a more appropriate quality to impose as "criteria" for determining whether the "default" bookmarks are "Sync'd". I'll spare you the insult to your intelligence... uh.. or, wait-- is that my own?-- wishing to spare myself the humiliation of offering up any ideas. ha! best regards [1] http://goo.gl/pA0cB ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
SM2.1b1 - Library Sort vs. Navigator-Menu::Bookmarks
please note unusual presentation of items, as appear in Seamonkey 2.1 Beta 1 Navigator, main menu > Bookmarks as shown, here: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/XWTXsaGAJYmaTB7ZldDwDA?feat=directlink In contrast, the /Library View/, or Bookmarks Manager, does not appear to behave abnormally, as sorted via "sort by name" (top level selected, for sorting "Bookmarks Menu"). https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ILAuijyBFg197OAoeEIIUQ?feat=directlink NOTE: the skewed appearance of navigator menu > bookmarks items did not occur until after instance of user activity in Bookmarks Mgr window, where several items were updated (deleted, sorted, moved, etc.). this SM2.1b2 installation is extended with the "Firefox Sync" add-on, and-- as such-- was synchronized automatically (i.e. apparently operating as desired), and manually via "Sync Now", during aforementioned organization of Library items. Skewed menu items not recognized until after Bookmarks Manager activity was finished, when user wished to re-open it-- discovering the BM Mgr menu item / handler was out-of-place. Other functionality seems unaffected. (this topic posted via affected browser, which has not yet been closed / re-opened [since menu items appear skewed]). best regards.
