    Password Exporter 1.2.1
by Justin Scott (fligtar)

This extension allows you to export your saved passwords and disabled login 
hosts using XML
or CSV files that can be imported later.

Add to SeaMonkey
Not available for SeaMonkey 2.20
===============================

how can I get this to be downloaded and installed ?


1.  At
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/password-exporter/>,
place your cursor over the gray "Add to SeaMonkey" button, right-click,
and select "Save Link Target As" from the pull-down context menu.

2.  On the "Enter name of file to save to" window, navigate to where you
want to save the file.  Then, click on the Save button.

3.  Open the file password_exporter-1.2.1-fx+tb+sm.xpi in a ZIP
application (e.g., Winzip).

4.  Depending on the ZIP application, open the install.rdf file in a
plain-text editor WITHOUT unzipping the XPI file.

5.  Near the bottom of the install.rdf file, under the line that is
        <!-- Mozilla SeaMonkey -->
change the line
        <em:maxVersion>2.1b1</em:maxVersion>
to be
        <em:maxVersion>2.20</em:maxVersion>

6.  Use the Save capability of the editor.

7.  Close the ZIP application.  If it asks about saving install.rdf, the
answer is "yes".

The extension can then be installed from the local XPI file on your PC.


david ...
OK,   I did the edit, and saved the file
the downloaded file and all the extracted and edited files are in the same 
directory
I figured out how to install (an add-on)  from a file
but, now I get a message that the file is corrupt, and cannot be installed


Do NOT extract the files from within the XPI file.  Instead, "view" the
install.rdf file in a text editor application.  (Winzip provides that
capability.)  Edit the viewed file and use the save (not save-as)
operation of the editor.  When you close the editor, you might be asked
whether you want to save the result back into the XPI file; the answer
is "yes".  Then you install the extension in SeaMonkey from the XPI file
via the Add-ons Manager, or you drag-and-drop the XPI file into the
SeaMonkey rendering window.


used 7-Zip, which seems to have the same options as Unzip
worked just fine
now have a print out of all the PW's for SM

I previously exported them to FF and used PW Exporter there

Thanks for your help
the real obvious question is WHY hasn't the author made it available for SM
if all it takes is a one line edit ?
