SeaMonkey Portable Launcher Test 1 (for 2.0 Betas/Alphas/Nightlies)

I've just posted a test of the SeaMonkey launcher for the upcoming 2.0 release. SeaMonkey (formerly known as Mozilla Suite) is an internet suite with a web browser, html editor, email, etc. It's what Firefox, Thunderbird and Sunbird were originally based on. It looks like they're finally implementing the -profile switch that allows it to become portable. So, I've put together the launcher for it.

You'll need to supply your own copy of SeaMonkey since SeaMonkey 2.0 is in alpha stages... and everyone is using and alpha or nightly build (which makes it silly to ship with a copy included). Just download a zip of a nightly release or a zip of the current alpha build from the bottom of this page and copy all the files from the seamonkey directory within the zip file to the SeaMonkeyPortable\App\SeaMonkey directory.

Download SeaMonkey Portable Launcher Test 1
(may take a few minutes to hit the download servers)

SeaMonkey Portable 1.x? Nope. SeaMonkey 1.x doesn't support the profile switches or structure we use in Firefox, Sunbird and Thunderbird. It has a messy binary configuration we'd have to update, replacing any local profiles, on each launch. So, we're waiting on SeaMonkey 2.0 to be released for the official portable version.

I believe I found a bug

I put an INI with

However, if I have my main browser open (Seamonkey) it reports that it's already running.

I believe.

Allow multiple instances only allows multiple instances of the portable version because running local and portable at the same time is not a good idea usually.

Mozilla browsers don't support multiple instances. If you want a new window there should be a menu option for it.

Seamonkey is the renamed community driven continuation of the Mozilla Application Suite, with it's name taken from the code name for the suite. Seamonkey came first.

If Seamonkey came first, how come Firefox started out as "Phoenix" without the naming convention? That doesn't make sense unless Firefox aka Firebird aka Phoenix came before Seamonkey.

The Mozilla Suite came first. Then came Firefox branded as Phoenix and later Firebird; after that came Thunderbird. At LAST came Seamonkey, that is a RENAMED Mozilla Suite made by the community. This was what happened.

Yes, but it's the direct continuation of the Suite.
Therefore, Mozilla Suite == Seamonkey Suite

HTML editor worth the download?

Semi off-topic, but how good is the HTML editor in Seamonkey? My trial version of Frontpage 2003 @ work is about to expire and I need a replacement. Nvu/KompoZer didn't blow my skirt up the last time I tried it/them.

(I used to do all my HTML/CSS by hand in a text editor. I'm doing so much now I need a WYSIWYG GUI to keep up with demand...hence me using Frontpage...which I hate :mad:)

EDIT: Nevermind. After installing SeaMonkey and trying Composer out for HTML editing and then re-trying KompoZer out...I can see where NVU/KompoZer got their initial code from when the Mozilla Suite went OpenSource. The table editor is *exactly* the same in both Compser/KompoZer, that's how I figured it out.

VERY minor issue...

All the the text files I looked at in \SeaMonkeyPortable\App and subdirs refer to Firefox.

Edit: Also...if some newb wants to try SeaMonkey out (the non-newb normal PA beta test peeps will figure this out on their own) the SeaMonkey zip file extracts out to a \seamonkey directory. You need to go into that directory and copy ALL the files/folders in \seamonkey to the \SeaMonkeyPortable\App\SeaMonkey directory for the portable version to work right.

Multiple instances

I know I brought this up earlier in the topic, and someone said it wasn't possible.

I just tried opening a normal firefox window, and then I used a portable firefox with

AllowMultipleInstances=true

in the ini.

However, when I have the line in Seamonkey portable ini, it still throws the error about another instance running if I have my main browser running.

It is for local and portable copies. It's late, and I'm not thinking too good. I'll look into the source of SeaMonkey.

Allows multiple instances for me. Make sure you're using the right SeaMonkeyPortable.ini from SeaMonkeyPortable\Other\Source

Ok, I think I found what is happening on mine.

I used these lines in the ini

[SeaMonkeyPortable]
DisableSplashScreen=true
AllowMultipleInstances=true

If my normal seamonkey is running, it errors and says it's already running. Then, if my normal isn't, this one will start WITH a splash screen.

I have this in the same directory as the launcher, but it appears to be ignoring it.

It is a long shot, but maybe you need to use the FirefoxPortable.ini. John only made a little hack to be able to run SeaMonkey. Maybe he as forgot to make the ini use [SeaMonkeyPortable] instead of [FirefoxPortable].

Try this:

[FirefoxPortable]
DisableSplashScreen=true
AllowMultipleInstances=true

Buggy

Seamonkey automated builds are buggy and occasionally won't launch at all. This is why it's not even at the alpha level yet. Just try a different nightly build.

Version 2.0 alpha needed

You are using the wrong version for this launcher. You need a nightly Seamonkey 2.0 alpha build. You can get it from the following link: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk/. I have been using it for several weeks with no problem. There was a problem with a few of the builds about 4-6 weeks ago, but since then I haven't had any problems. The problem may have been a space problem on my USB drive. Also, be advised, these builds can now perform automated updates.

A pair of silly questions

1) Is there any hope to have someday an official (stable) SeaMonkey Portable?

2) Sometimes you can make a portable program this way: a) install a full program on a PC; b) copy all the files (except uninstall.exe and uninstall.000, for example) to your portable device; c) uninstall the program from the PC. So, why it doesn't work with Seamonkey?

1) I think we plan to once SeaMonkey itself becomes more stable.

2) Many apps (the Mozilla apps, Pidgin, 7-zip, and many others) don't keep their settings contained in the app's directory. Some apps use the %APPDATA% folder on the system, some keep their settings in the registry, some use both. In the case of SeaMonkey, it store's the users' profiles in %APPDATA%.

2) FireFox and Thunderbird (both from Mozilla apps) are already portable, so why SeaMonkey isn't yet?

1) We're waiting for SeaMonkey (non-portable) to become more stable, and add in a -profile switch, that will allow us to tell SeaMonkey to keep it's settings together with the app, instead of in %APPDATA%

2) Firefox and Thunderbird both support the -profile switch to set a custom path to the users' profile, SeaMonkey has not yet implemented this switch.

It's done when it's done™ (actually it is "It's done when Seamonkey 2 is done" )
Mozilla Seamonkey 1 does not have the -profile switch properties that are used by Firefox and Thnderbird Portable for changing the profile path automatically.

EDIT: Ok, it's what Zack said. But mine is funnier.

I'm not sure that I will learn quickly the tags you're using here. Though I could evaluate myself as an experienced user, HTML-writing isn't my cup of tea.

By the way, why don't you use here something like Simple Machines Forum?

uhhh, because it is closed source?

Isn't SMF closed source, with redistrbution restrictions on it?

Also, from what I understand it is basically a forum system. Drupal (which they use here) is a full CMS, and incorporates a forum within that (it may be a simple forum module, but Drupal itself goes way beyond what non-CMS systems could do in other ways)

I was just kidding

I was just kidding with that on the bottom, but if you want you can go to here for more info.

Basically is a <ol> tag for opening an ordered list, placing each list item between <li></li> tags and closing the list with </ol>

Example:

<ol>
<li>List Item #1</li>
<li>List Item #2</li>
</ol>

Which Gives

List Item #1
List Item #2

And beyond what Jimbo said, I think that they don't use that (I'm supposing you're talking about BBcode) because this forum doesn't allow as much tags as BBcode would, for keeping the layout clean. Plus, BBcode is a bad base for HTML learning as it teaches to implement deprecated tags and less users know HTML, that makes the forums layout cleaner.

But lets go back to the topic, shall we?

Where should I report or what should I do?

Yes, let's come back to the topic.

I have some more (not silly now) questions. First of all I must mention that I'm using Seamonkey with the Russian language (so I'm sorry if I make a mistake in translating back to English). And I noticed some bugs in it.

When I try to download a file I get a window saying:
XML syntax analysis error: unknown symbol Address: chrome://communicator/content/downloadmanager/downloadmanager.xul Line 53, symbol 1
When I fill in any password for the first time a dialogue appears asking me if I want to save the password. That's OK, but the problem is that there is no question if I want to save it. I see only "Yes" and "No" on the two of three buttons. I saw this window in FF and could guess its meaning.
When I use the e-mail client it always asks the password for my e-mail box. Couldn't it be remembered from the first time I fill it in?

Where should I report or what should I do?

Got to MozillaZine Forums. This is about Seamonkey 2, that is in ~~beta~~ alpha state, so go to MozillaZine Forums, follow to the Seamonkey Build Forum, and give your info. Don't forget that Seamonkey 2 is in alpha state, so it can be really buggy.

I think they banned all of mail.ru due to spammers and forum trolls.

No Files!

I downloaded the app, installed it and when I wanted to run it it said:"seamonkey.exe was not found. Please check your configuration." So I went to H:\PortableApps\SeaMonkeyPortable\App\SeaMonkey and there was nothing in that folder. Maybe You(John) Would like to fix that

Thats because........

I believe there are no files because Seamonkey is in Alpha. I also believe they are always updating it "nightly" thats why John said it would be "Silly" to include it. So he could put files there but then it would be different the next day or whenever they update it.

Please read the post above.

This is only a launcher. Post reads: "You'll need to supply your own copy of SeaMonkey." This works in conjunction with the seamonkey.exe downloaded from the Seamonkey homepage.

Can't use Portable Launcher

Okay, I've downloaded the launcher, copied all the seamonkey files, including seamonkey.exe, into the same directory as the portable launcher.

I get a message that seamonkey.exe can't be found -- check your configuration. I've looked at any file that looks like a config file. Can't find a clue.

Can someone help? Thanks.

You've put them in the wrong place

If you re-read the top post, there is a line in it that tells you exactly where to put the files expanded from the nightly (or beta), though it is pretty well hidden in the text.

You need to put them in a subdirectory compared to the seamonkeyportable.exe called App/SeaMonkey - the folder should already be there when you install the launcher, but empty.

Hope that helps

2.0 Official

John, I just tested this with the ofifcial 2.0 of SeaMonkey. Everything works fine, but %AppData%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey is left behind. It only contains crash reports, though.

But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
