If you planning on waiting, it will be a long wait. I don't think it will ever be available. It may be even worse than that, I think I remember R.K. saying that the whole 1.1.xx=2.0 was a hack and would be in 2.1.x versions. I am sure one of the developers said that, I'm less sure I remember who, and hopefully 2.1 is years down the road, because migration seems to get about as far as how do I use the forms manager and hang. My own current pet peeve is lack of a good way to move a small set of passwords from one profile to another. It seems that the concept of some global data shared by all profiles would be useful, at least to me and a few others who use profiles heavily. I can sort of get by it, but it would be nice to have a few bookmarks, mailing addresses, and passwords which are common to all profiles, for stuff I do all the time. -- Bill Davidsen david...@tmr.com We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked. - from Slashdot ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

(: Mozbackup 1.4.9 claims to work with SeaMonkey 1.0a - 2.0. Has anyone tried it with SM 2.0 yet? ~N OK, well I tried it, and MB 1.4.9 only finds SM2 and SM2 profiles after SM2 has been installed. SM2 doesn't even seem to import your old settings from the one single profile that it does let you import. It took me ages to get things just the way I wanted them, and it looks like one update blows them all away. SM2 may be better, faster, and easier for some, but until the profile migration is fixed (which as Lee says maybe never), I guess I'm sticking with 1.1.18 for the foreseeable future. All the best to everyone here. ~N ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

All the best to everyone here. ~N Moz Backup is Windows only, so I have no direct knowledge of it. However, your description seems consistent with how it should work. Remember, it is backup tool, its not designed for profile migration. You can invoke the migration wizard manually, to migrate other profiles: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_migration_-_SeaMonkey#Manual_migration Lee Yes I did look at that once or twice, but it all seemed rather convoluted. And it still begs to question, why don't settings seem to stick? Like clicking a link in all my old profiles opened a new tab, not a whole new window. Or maybe that was part of what I used MultiZilla for. Which of course would have to be reinstalled and re-setup from scratch I guess. http://multizilla.mozdev.org/features/index.html I will have another go at the migration when I get more time. Thanks for all your help Lee. ~N Sad to say, Multizilla is not compatible with SM 2.0. It is a hobby extension, so there is no saying when or if it will ever be ported over. As far as settings, most of mine did seem to carry over, but it is a totally different program. They can be reset easily enough in Preferences.
