Help information

I have decided that it is best to pull together several threads that I have already started into one project thread.  This should help everyone who is helping me track the progress as well as reduce new thread proliferation.

This project started as a response to a question by Nav posted on July 26, 2007.  See http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?1,73404

I have asked and received great help in two additional threads regarding K-Meleon's macro language.  See http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?1,73580 and http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?1,73471

I have working a macro, which sets an item “Rename_Add” into the Favorites menu and allows the user to rename the title for the favorite.  It then collects the information needed for writing a favorite in the form of  title.url.  Currently it only outputs the info to the Windows Clipboard for checking..

After looking and JustBasic and Bloodshed C++, I have decided that KKO’s idea of using JScript and  Windows Scripting Host will be best for users.  JustBasic would have been easy to code but users would have had to download a runtime engine file, which was over a megabyte in size.  I don’t have any experience with C++ libraries so the training time for me would be long.  I have ordered textbooks on  JScript and WSH and those will take a little time to arrive.

A roadmap of the project ::

Add an item to the Favorites Menu  [COMPLETED]

Discover what an Internet Shortcut looks like internally  [COMPLETED]

Provide a prompt box where the user can rename the title  [COMPLETED]

Add an access key to item the macro places in the menu

Remove unacceptable characters from the renamed title
	Windows will not allow some characters to be used in a file name  
The title will become the filename of the form title.url

Find how to direct the output to the FAVORITES location
	I expect some special folder statement to be in JScript

Check if  the renamed title matches an existing shortcut name
	If existing add {1} to the title and check again
Is it possible to check all the folders within FAVORITES?

Offer user select and write to a sub-folder
Is it possible or practicable to offer the user a way to add the shortcut to a folder within FAVORITES instead of just the root of FAVORITES?

Provide localizations 
Find out how to do localizations and get help translating things

Provide beta code in the forum for testing and feedback

Add the macro in the wiki macro library.[/quote]
