Oh yeah,somebody needs to get ahold of somebody and have them post an 'under construction' meme or something on this thoroughly antiquated feature page:

Re: SeaMonkey Sync
Bookmarks can be exported into HTML then imported.
In theory they can be backed up and restored — but my dump produces error on restoring and unknown set of bookmarks lost if transfer via dump.

Re: SeaMonkey Sync
Thanks Iav, when I ditched Firefox, exporting bookmarks was a train wreck. I'll attempt to export and import as HTML and see if I have any luck.iav wrote:Bookmarks can be exported into HTML then imported.

I haven't looked at that password exporter yet, I'll check it out now.
FYI, I'm in contact with MR Tech to see if we can revive his Toolkit to export and import add-ons.
I'd still love to have a solution involving an actual automated sync function, but at this point any band-aid technique will be helpful.

Re: SeaMonkey Sync
I use Password Exporter 1.2.1.1 with my seamonkey.
https://github.com/fligtar/password-exporter
I don't know where to find that signed downloadable addon — but can give xpi from my profile if anybody tells me how to find correct file in tons like {b243fe83-b8a7-47de-855d-21d865243d5d}.xpi
Another possible way for passwords — Quick Passwords http://quickpasswords.mozdev.org/index.html
I use v3.10. There are backup and restore function, but I newer try it, and don't know is it usable or not.

Re: SeaMonkey Sync
No worries, I found a way to mirror the entire freaking profile. I'll post it here shortly just as soon as I read back through and make sure that it's legible.iav wrote:I use Password Exporter 1.2.1.1 with my seamonkey.

Re: SeaMonkey Sync
Well, it's not a Sync, but I figured out a way to mirror a profile:

Re: SeaMonkey Sync
Confused here. Does it just not work at all any more?
I currently use 2.46 and have never set up Sync before. I do not use FF, so no conversions or transfers involved. I simply want a recovery option. I try to keep a recent backup of the Profile, but that's not always the best option.
When I tried yesterday, I just got an unknown error on entering the email address, no matter what I used.
Should I try setting up my own server?

Re: SeaMonkey Sync
Own server works (for me) in Seamonkey 2.49.*, but it will not work after that - older Sync 1.1 code has been removed in 2.53.Wish You Were Here wrote:Should I try setting up my own server?
Note that you'll have to use Seamonkey version 2.25 to set up Sync with your own server as AFAIK the appropriate functionality has been broken in versions after that. Once Sync has been set up, it should work fine in versions up to 2.49.x
