Hello !
I have now a new Windows 10 Pro 64 bits PC.
This is what I will do to install SeaMonkey on this new pc;
I will first upgrade to SeaMonkey 2.40 on my old Windows 7 pro 32 bits
PC with all needed extensions, plugins, etc ...
Then I will install SeaMonkey 2.40 on my new Windows 10 Pro 64 bits PC.
and now ....
If I remplace the directory
C:\Users\RAY\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\
of the new pc with the directory
C:\Users\RZ\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey of the old pc.
Will I have the same environment and datas ?
I suspect problems ... see hereafter.
What happens with the installed plugins, extensions...etc ...
What happens with the "Helper Applications" when a lot of applications
not installed yet ?
Should I do differently to have the same options/.parameters, all the
mails and newsgroups, all the bookmarks ?
I don't think you'll have problems. The prefs.js file contains relative
file paths, so you shouldn't have to worry about editing it.
To support what Chris said, I have had no problem moving profile from
Windows to Linux
from:
C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\
to:
/home/jonathan/.mozilla/seamonkey/
Just works, and you cannot get more different than moving to a different
OS and filesystem.
Jonathan, I'd ask "Why bother??". I share a profile between my Win7 SM
install and my Linux install.
Profile on a Win7 drive and just point the Linux SM to the Win7 drive
location.
Too easy .... been doing it with SeaMonkey Suite and MandrivaLinux 2007
... no problems!!
