Hi there Reeko & all forum members,

I find KM is the most verstaile browser.

Now could you please a senile doc, guide step wise, how to customize its settings etc.

Thanks,

Regards!

@ eDOC786

Best place to start is with menu item EDIT - PREFERENCES. There are a great many items you can set from the panels there.

Like I said in the other thread I have never seen a browser that you can adjust everything the way you can in KM.

Thanks JamesD & Reeko.

Hypothetically if a few pages of KM shut down abrubtly, can one start from the last session or restore the last session option?

Doc.

click on Sessions,Load Sessions, then click on Previous Session.

I even save specific sessions to use all the time. I have one for tech stuff. To do that I open up all the pages I usually go to in seperate tabs then click on Sessions,Save Sessions. I name it Tech Session and I can open it when I choose to.



Reeko

Thanks Reeko 124, you are a genius.

When shall the final version of KM be released?

Regards!

Doc.

Tool bar customization & removals wont occur.

Like Rt clicking the mouse has no effcets?

Wanna remove some icons/arrows on the Rt corner......probably Go button??

Does KM has the latest flash, shock wave & java installed?

Thanks agaiin.

I could have you do this differently but I'll just do this the easy way.

For toolbars

View,Toolbars uncheck anything you don't want in your toolbar.

For the Flash Player

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
After you install it copy and paste the file NPSWF32.DLL into the KM Plugins folder. Then restart your browser. If you can't find the above file after installing it search for it on your computer.

This is the final version I do believe

Thanks Reeko.

Do you have a customized KM?

The Live memory usage does not move is stuck to Lt top corner, near the blank window?

Doc.

I don't use the memory usage. No mine is not really customized.

too bad there isn't a repository of sorts for ones config directory. Or an export function that would strip out personal data so ones settings can be exported/imported for such purposes as beginners getting to see how others setup thier KM.

MrWoo.

So true.

Doc.

There is a trick that I do when I set up a new copy/version of KM. I have a macro which has most of the basic prefs that I could change using Preferences. This is just faster. I just run it once.

KM_Setup_Prefs.kmm

###
###   Run once on new install to set some prefs
###
###

 _KM_Setup_Prefs_Run {
 $_KM_Setup_PrefsTitle = prompt( "Enter the KM version", "Set KM title", "K-Meleon" );
 setpref( STRING, "kmeleon.display.title", $_KM_Setup_PrefsTitle);

 setpref( BOOL, "kmeleon.tabs.useLoadingTitle", true);
 setpref( BOOL, "kmeleon.plugins.bookmarks.load", false);
 setpref( BOOL, "signon.rememberSignons", false);
 } 

_KM_Setup_Prefs_ModMenu { 
 setmenu("&Help",macro,"Set up Prefs",_KM_Setup_Prefs_Run,3) ;
 }
 
$OnInit=$OnInit."_KM_Setup_Prefs_ModMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules."KM_Setup_Prefs;";

Hey, that gives me some ideas. Thanx. I should have thought of that before. There is no reason I can't script up something to change those and do file copies etc, no matter the language as it is only a text file.

MrWoo.

@ JamesD

RE: KM_Setup_Prefs.kmm

A nice little gem. Thanks for posting it.

Would it aslo work to us a copy of about:config, that is if there is a way to copy it other than manually?

Prefs in about:config is all prefs saved in *.js files;
K-Meleon\defaults\pref\*.js
K-Meleon\greprefs\*.js
And in your K-Meleon profile folder;
prefs.js and user.js

I you saved your *.js profile files you have a backup of user changes in default preferences.

K-Meleon in Spanish



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/21/2009 06:17PM by desga2.

desga2 is right. Everything that KM_Setup_Prefs.kmm sets up is in the prefs.js file in my profile. It is just that I like to test a new version from a set starting point and there may be many other things in my current profile. I may not always 'clean up' well from testing and trying things. I just need a known starting point when I set up a new version.

Later I copy, with KM shut down, other lines from current to new prefs.js. Some things which get copied later are "capability.policy...", and "k-meleon_Groups2...".

As in all computing, a good backup is a good thing.

@ desga2. Thank you for the info.

Thanks JamesD,

I am replying from my new intsall Vista notebook.

After I install k-meleon where exactly should I put this script?

Lastly what exactly would k-meleon look after installing this script/repository?

& can ot be undone too?

Regards!

How do I run them?

Can't find KM_setup_prefs_KM?

Thanks.

copy what he posted. open notepad and paste it and save it as KM_Setup_Prefs.kmm
Then place that in your macro's folder.

Restart your browser

Press F2 to open preferences. Go down to where it says "Macro Extension" click on that. Now there should be a list of macro's on the right. Find the one that you made and put a check mark in it. Click close. Now restart your browser so the settings with take effect. From what it says inside his macro it says run once so I assume that means go back and uncheck the macro the same way I just told you so it doesn't reset everytime you restart.

I would do it myself but I don't wanna lose my current settings to try it out lol



Reeko

placed the notepad containg the following in the macros folder, but on restarting cannot find it in the F2 setup> macros, where would it be?

Doc.

you didn't put the actual notepad in there did you? it wasn't saved as a txt file was it? Did you put it under macros in the main folder or the one in your profile?



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/24/2009 08:27AM by reeko124.

Save the file with a kmm extension and copy it to your user macro folder. When you run KM next, an entry will appear under the help menu. Click on that entry so the macro will run. Then stop and restart KM.

Everything can be un-done. Note that these are my personal choices. When you restart you will have the Klassic skin and my choice of homepage and all my personal choices. If you want other choices, you will need to change the macro or go to preferences and make your choices.

Reeko ........1. Yes I did put it as a actual note pad.

2. It was saved as an actual text file.

3. yes I put it under macros main folder which contained 1 folder & a few files.


Thanks.

Doc.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks!

Doc.

@ eDOC786

The file should have the name "KM_Setup_Prefs.kmm". In notepad use "save as" and put KM_Setup_Prefs.kmm in the name field. In the "save as type" field use the dropdown to choose "all files". The file should be saved in your user macro folder. To find that folder from within KM you can use EDIT - CONFIGURATION - USER DEFINED MACROS. The file explorer window address bar will have the location of your user macro folder.

Thanks Paul.

It's there but no effect on KM.

In user defined Macros..........C:\Documents and Settings\Vaio\Application Data\K-Meleon\surumwm9.default\macros
