I wanted to add newsgroups from the already defined mozilla server.
As I saw the path was wrong I wanted to browse to the correct directory.
Beem, which path was wrong?? What file are you looking for/at??
In my version of puppy linux, the path goes via root and a hidden
directory .mozilla. The file open dialogue didn't see this hidden
dialogue, so I was unable to go the the news directory in the mozilla
profile.
Why is this so and how can I correct the open file dialogue to see also
hidden directories?
The path was /mnt/sda3/root/.mozilla/........ and had to be
/mnt/home/root/.mozilla/.....
When pushing browse in the file open dialogue I got all the files in
/mnt/home/root except the hidden files, so those with a dot in front.
So the question remains, why is this so? A bug?
But I found I could go in about:config and edit the path manually.
Not a solution for beginners or non-technical users.
On Windows those buttons open the operating system's file browser (i.e.
Explorer), so whether or not hidden files are seen depends on Explorer's
settings. Not sure if there's a similar arrangement on Linux.
Since you know the name of the hidden directory, it may be possible to
navigate to it by typing it's path in the filename field. i.e. enter
/mnt/home/root/.mozilla/ as the filename and press enter (or click open
or whatever the equivalent is), and it might then show the content of
that directory. Again, just a guess based on the Windows version.
Mark.
