Okay, riddle me this: Do you back up your SeaMonkey data on a regular
basis? If so, how?
Only my Bookmarks file - there was a time when SM was losing Bookmarks.
I just duplicate the file and store it outside of my Profile.
On a Mac it's very easy to back up an entire Profile - I just drag and
drop it's entire contents onto another disk. If I need to reinstate that
profile, I delete the previous folder and let SM build a new default -
then I drop in the contents of my backup.
Dunno what you would do on a PC...
Do you expect most SeaMonkey users to know where their profile folder
is? Should they have to know? Backing up your data is a common task, but
we don't see many questions about it, because everyone is so used to the
workaround.
...funny you should say. I said something very similar about
"workarounds" requiring the user to fiddle around with about:config and
pretty much got crapped all over by some members of the SM team.
Yes - I agree with you. A user should not have to do what I describe if
there is a true desire on behalf of the product to provide an ability
for the user to be able to perform that function regularly - the
capability should be provided within the SM interface.
But you asked me IF and HOW I did it, not how I thought it should be done.
