I've certainly learned a lot today, along with Siria it seems. I read the [url=http://imglikeopera.mozdev.org/cache_fixer.html]Cache Fixer[/url] page (and looked into it's files) and also read the long and interesting [url=https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105843]bug 105843 page[/url], which describes how this whole issue is intentional, and shows how it's been neglected by developers for many years. Essentially, the whole mozilla cache system is poorly designed and would need to be entirely rewritten. I might add that the poor mozilla cache system (along with Firefox's poor performance) is what kept me with IE up until my recent love affair with K-Meleon, after which I discovered the cache deletion problem. Say what you will about IE but it's cache system is the best of all, files are written as they are downloaded and you can browse and search them with ease, not to mention being as stable as granite.

Having looked at the Cache Fixer files and seen their relative simplicity I am now skeptical that the preference listed above could do anything without the fixer .JS routines to plug into (keyword: fixer). So, Disrupted, since you seem to have verified the functionality I would like to encourage you to try it with a fresh, isolated instance of K-Meleon, to insure there are no other updates or experimental leftovers that could skew the results.

In any event, I now understand that the [b]_CACHE_MAP_[/b] is basically only written to as the browser closes, updated with data held in memory during a session. Tests have already prooven that backing up this file at an appropriate time and restoring it as necessary will finally allow me to keep my [url=http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?3,97793]precious cache[/url], although I'll lose data from the last session. Hopefully corruption will not become a problem.

Thank you Alex! You've led me to the key I needed.[/quote]
