How to copy Seamonkey profile
I do not understand why this is not working.
I go to AppData and Roaming and copy the profile Default and copy it to the new Seamonkey , deleting the Default folder that is there yet it is not working.
Can anyone explain to me how to do this, so I don't pull my hair out?
Thanks
Cheryl

Re: How to copy Seamonkey profile
Not clear on what you're looking to do, but...
(Generally) Mozilla finds profiles by looking in profiles.ini.
So the location specified in profiles.ini needs to exist.
Or you can use Profile Manager to set up a "new" Profile pointing to the location where you have made this "copy" (which I'm not clear on).
Or you can use Profile Manager to create a new Profile, & then copy existing files from your "old" (which I'm not clear on) Profile into the new (overwriting the new).
Any number of things you can do, but have to understand what it is you're looking to do.

Re: So I tried to copy over my old profile and now Seamonkey
I installed Seamonkey 2.0 over the most current Seamonkey and then used the Windows Start menu and found Manage Profile and after a few attempts was able to create a new profile and Seamonkey started...whew
So my problem is solved..although I still need to import my old profile..but that's another question.

Re: How to copy Seamonkey profile
You would think it would be a matter of simply copying...however I changed the name...so that may be my issue but I had to recover from that which took me awhile so now I'm afraid to mess with it...but I would like my bookmarks and passwords.

Re: How to copy Seamonkey profile
Okay it worked...whew..Thank you therube....I left the original user profile alone and made a new one and then copied the files over without changing the name that Seamonkey assigned and all my bookmarks are there...woohoooooo! It's a miracle!
Thank you as always for stepping up to help me!

Just copy the Seamonkey folder from there to your new destination. Should work as expected.

(I doubled a link, above, rather then putting in the link I wanted:

Re: How to copy Seamonkey profile
When I do this, I copy my profile directory from the old to the new, i.e. 9sc8mwq4.Rich
I then open Profile Manager and create a new user account called Rich and point it to the directory I just copied over , 9sc8mwq4.Rich.
That's it. When I start Rich, everything is there as it should be.

Re: How to copy Seamonkey profile
My original issue was I changed the name of the new one to match the old one...that was a mistake.
