seatab x 2.1.1

[The.Purple.Hippo]

does anyone know where I can get the addon seatab x 2.1.1 from CatTheif. I've searched everywhere including the wayback machine, but nothing.

Thanks

Use SeaTab-X-2

The original SeaTab 2 is no longer being updated

[The.Purple.Hippo]

Yeah, I saw that, but its not compatible with my version of SM 2.53.12

Yeah, I saw that, but its not compatible with my version of SM 2.53.12

But a Cat Thief extension that she stopped updating back in 2012 is going to be compatible with your version of SM 2.53.12?

You need to update install.rdf
line 17 to <em:maxVersion>2.53.*</em:maxVersion>
I'm using it in 2.53.15 and in 2.53.16.b1.
I have installed in 2.57

Yes, I had it working in my old profile, but I need it for my new one. And it was working in SM 2.53.15 when I took it for a test drive.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try it.

what didn't work?
Let's start over.
Download the xpi from the Thunderbird site.
https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/se ... -2/?src=ss
Click on view version history.
There are two versions available.
Click on download xpi.
With SeaMonkey closed open the xpi with a extractor such as 7zip.
In an editor open install.rdf.
go to the section.

Code: Select all

    <em:targetApplication>
       <Description>
        <em:id>{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}</em:id>
        <em:minVersion>2.0</em:minVersion>
        <em:maxVersion>2.27</em:maxVersion>
      </Description>
    </em:targetApplication>

Change maxVersion>2.27 to 2.53.*
the "asterisk" is pattern matching, matches all version of 2.53.
save install.rdf and update the xpi
In my system 7zip will ask if you want to update the xpi.
Do so.
Open SeaMonkey.
Open the folder where you saved the xpi.
Drag the modified xpi into a SeaMonkey window.
SeaMonkey will ask do want to install the xpi

Copy the .xpi from the old to the new.

And what are the files? They're not listed in the extensions directory, and I can't find them anywhere else.

well, I did everything as you suggested, but I keep getting a corrupted message when I go to install it.

Change maxVersion>2.27 to 2.53.*

Actually it should be "2.*" IMHO. You can do this by yourself or just use dedicated converter:

In this case it works like charm.

Try a new profile, your current could profile could be corrupted.

I tried the converter, and yes, it worked like a charm.
