I'm not sure what you are referring to. Clipboard Manager is on the Taskbar, on the Right, next to Volume Control. It lists the last files worked with, but AFAIK doesn't open them.kuman11 wrote:mike,

Sounds like a case for another 'portable', perhaps?mikeslr wrote:Unfortunately, without a substantial work-around whose details escape me, you can't run two versions of Seamonkey as each expects it's profiles to be stored at /root/.mozilla --whether that is its actual location or a symlink to its actual location. Addons are stored in that folder. If you update beyond Seamonkey 2.46, it will remove the incompatible addons. Reverting to the earlier version of Seamonkey won't get them back. I think they may be recoverable if before uninstalling the new Seamonkey you first delete /root/.mozilla/seamonkey. But, of course, you'll loose any bookmarks which are also stored in your profile.
You can run chrome clones as root by using the option "--no-sandbox"mikeslr wrote:Hi Mike,
Correct on all counts, especially regarding a portable Seamonkey. Hint. Hint. . I recall running Iron 58 under Slacko 5.7. Have no experience with Slimjet 14. But for those interested, here are the links.
Iron, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 923#943923, but read the instructions.
Slimjet, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 303#952303, again read the instructions.
IIRC, the reference to bbe required that the bbe script be downloaded and the executable dropped onto it to enable Chrome & Clones to be run as root.
Iron 58 was published in Feb 2017, Slimjet in April 2017. Although I like Iron I haven't bothered to set it up in part because of its age and frankly I prefer your palemoon portable.
Now then, Mike. How would this do you? I've just put together a 'portable' version of SeaMonkey 2.46...mikeslr wrote:Hi Mike,

Concur. I've attached a pet here which will create a menu entry avoiding any conflict: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 89#1024889Mike Walsh wrote:@ kuman11:-
No reason at all why you can't use the 'portable' I've put together. It gets around the problem of the profile in /root, because the profile is contained inside the portable's own directory.
What is it you want to do with this? There was some mention of wanting to run multiple profiles? I've got some ideas as to how you can do that, and with the 'portable' it should be somewhat easier...
Mike.

....and 'FF2' reads as follows:-#!/bin/sh
#LAUNCHDIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"; pwd)"
LAUNCHDIR="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"
mkdir "$LAUNCHDIR/profile" 2> /dev/null
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LAUNCHDIR/:$LAUNCHDIR/extralibs${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH} "$LAUNCHDIR/firefox" "$@" -profile "$LAUNCHDIR/profile"
Note where the modifications (in red) have been made. Just ensure that your numbers match; that's the easiest way to remember what you're doing.#!/bin/sh
#LAUNCHDIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"; pwd)"
LAUNCHDIR="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"
mkdir "$LAUNCHDIR/profile2" 2> /dev/null
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LAUNCHDIR/:$LAUNCHDIR/extralibs${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH} "$LAUNCHDIR/firefox" "$@" -profile "$LAUNCHDIR/profile2"
