IRC Session in #Seamonkey at irc.mozilla.org

[asrail] Hi all. I think mozilla tries to make my profiles folder unpredictable. But it's impossible to me change a profile behaviour in seamonkey. I had to change the profiles folder by hand and I can't tell seamonkey it.
[asrail] In Firefox and Thunderbird there is a file Profiles.ini, but I couldn't find it for seamonkey.
*** asrail using the trunk build for linux gtk2 of October 18.
[KaiRo] asrail: mozilla/seamonkey suite is using the binary "registry" file for that, and that's hard to edit
[asrail] Ugh... thanks KaiRo. So, I'm going to create a new one and migrating the data.
[KaiRo] asrail: might be the easiest way, yes... I once heard of a tool to convert registry to a text format and back, but I don't remember where that was
[asrail] lol. Just to stay in the logs:
[asrail] If you move the folder of your profile to another place, just rename it and create a profile with its name in the new place
. It uses the [random folder] of the old profile
[asrail] of course, change every old path of the profile to the new one (paths in prefs.js, history.dat, panacea.dat, downloads.rdf,chrome.rdf, etc.)
[asrail] BTW, it shoudn't work this way. If you switch of profile the passwords saved are deleted. For instance, if you move the data from a profile to other, you have to enter manually every password, including the master one. I hadn't to do it.
