Some of you may have remember that I had reported about Suiterunner, i.e. Seamonkey with the same kind of Addon and Download Manager as Firefox.
After going from Seamonkey1.5 to Suiterunner1.5, the name has gone back to Seamonkey2.0, or to be more precise to 2.0a1pre, at which point it seemed stuck forever. It could not be more primitive, but, it has been quite stable. I have been dowloading .zip files every five days, and not seen much new stuff. Very few addons are compatible with it, but until last Sept 24, it used the .slt profile format, and the profile was somewhere I selected. It used a Suiterunner-named (my choice) profile. The profile was a mess, containing an .slt folder, plus several files and folders in the main Mozilla profiles folder (my choice, again).
Then, yesterday, I was offered to import settings. I said [size=yellow] what?[/size], and did nothing about it. In exchange I got a vanilla profile, or the same format as Firefox, of the type xxxxxx.default. The old profile was no longer usable. Mind that all this happened with v.2.0a1pre, with no warning.
I, almost, chucked the entire thing, and tried again this morning. This time I was not offered the option to import setting, but I copied all Suiterunner files, and pasted them into the Mozilla|Profiles|Seamonkey default folder, deleting all 40+ files and folders, which were all over the place. In fact, I am using that build with the new and cleaned up profile.
So, beware.

You are a glutton for punishment.

Richard,
for me the use of Seamonkey1.1.4 was a worse punishment. I posted earlier about my problem with it not displaying the correct URL, and lacking the ability to go back (other than using enter to open the displayed URL.). I was one of only three people who had the issue. So, I welcomed Suiterunner. It worked fine, until they made changes at midstream.
But, I got over that. I hope that they will come up with an user-friendly change from SM to Suiterunner, which is called Seamonkey2.0.

Hey-

I got 2.0a1 on my old laptop.

I was intrigued because someone I think at Mozillazine/SeaMonkey told me that the 2.X would have the same kind of autocomplete as IE7, NN9 and FF2.X.

Well, it does.

So, screwed around with it, read some posts at MZine SeaMonkey Builds.

I got it to install Colorful Tabs (a developer told someone else a toggle in about:config that would make most extensions work).

I got it to install Xtab, that little X in the tabs to close a site, but only in a default theme.

I got Mostly Crystal to install (I use it with SM1.1.6) but it lost the "X' and also the New tab push pin icon.

It's already pretty solid, I think.

I never played with alphas before. I mean, you know, I should not do it. I don't know enough.

It's got colored favicons, but I had to change the values in about:config just like in SM1.1.6. They ought to make that the default.

Anyway, I knew you were fooling with it.

Until proven otherwise, Firefox/Thunderbird are my defaults. Anything else comes and goes.
As for SM2.0a1pre there have been no builds since 11/7, meaning I am not sure what.
I don't like a suite as default, but I use what's around, at least once. Each program does what it does, so no sharing of anything.

Egad-

All I did was uninstall in one computer and disable in another computer. No biggie.

Ah, Fulvio-

You know that I AM THE WEATHERBUG, at least in Jersey.

New Jersey weather: finally it is November, dark and blustery, a sure sign of 25" snow storms to come so I can quit this computer and go out and play.

Fulvio,

Regarding the change in location of the profile, there was mention of this in the mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey newsgroup. Also see here.

(Richard - please keep the snow down there, thank you.)

Not sure which post you are referring to. I have been using SM2.0a1pre for quite a while, and I have been comfortable with it. It has been six weeks since my original post, and as a rule, I download the nightly .zip files every five days, and work from the unzipped file.
