Using Nixory

[Esc]

How do you set a profile in Nixory. The program will not scan until the profile is set. From what I've read, the path in Firefox is preceded by a "." and the folder is hidden from view.

Doing a search in Firefox, I found the folder to be "/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/my9kxxws.default".

How do I enter this path in Nixory as a "profile" to get the program to scan?

Don't you already have a profile in Nixory?  In your example, it's under "/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/my9kxxws.default", but it should already under Options->Preferences->Scan and under "Profile Path".  Also note that it should say under "Profile name" "my9kxxws.default", and in the directory (/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/my9kxxws.default) it should have the "cookie.txt" file.

If you can't really find the directory then click on "Add new" and open up the file dialog.  Next navigate to /home/user/, right-click and choose "Show Hidden Files".  That will show where Firefox is "hiding".  Then you can navigate to the directory as normal.

 Also wondering: on the "Select which profiles are to be used" dialog did you actually click on the checkbox for your Profile name?  Sometimes people get stuck on the details.

Thanks Ertain. Nixory didn't create a profile path when it was installed. The path I showed in my example was found in a search I did, to find where the profile was kept by firefox.

What I was missing was that you "right click" to show hidden files 

Now I go through the search and find "/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/my9k..ws.default/" and I find a number of files in that directory. I've tried selecting "cookies.sqlite" and a couple of other files, but nixory keeps telling me the selected file is invalid

Which file type is nixory looking for?

If it says that cookies.sqlite is invalid maybe you are using an old version of nixory incompatible with this file. (firefox once used cookies.txt)
Try downloading the latest release (I think it's 1.0.3)

[Ertain]

The version I tried did have a "cookies.txt" file.  Do you have cookies enabled in Firefox?  It needs those for scanning.

yoshi, synaptic installs version 0.6.3.. that's the one I have. I've downloaded the recent version, 1.0.3 but it won't install, because of a missing python component I think.

Ertain, I've tried scanning both with and without cookies enabled.. same result.

I'm starting to think it may be because of the older version. However, we are told not to install anything outside of synaptic.. does this included program updates? How do I get the missing python installer for this program?

[yoshi]

looks like the version synaptic has is outdated and incompatible with firefox 3.x
You should download the source package of the latest version and install python with synaptic
then run it with "python nixory.py"

make sure you install "pysqlite" and "pygtk" too

Or someone should update the synaptic package
