In K-Meleon, everytime you right-click an image and select "View Image" it automatically opens it in another window/new K-Meleon process, while in FireFox it opens it in the same window without making a new one. Is there a way to make K-Meleon behave like FireFox in this matter?

I think this will do it. Create this macro. Put it in macros or user macros folder and restart KM. There should be a new item named "Open Internal" in I&mages.

Image_in.kmm

# K-Meleon Macros (http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?id=MacroLanguage2)

Image_in_RunCode {
macroinfo = _("Open the image in this window.");
open($ImageURL);
}

_Image_in_BuildMenu {
setmenu("I&mage", macro, "Open Internal", Image_in_RunCode, -1);
}

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$OnInit=$OnInit."_Image_in_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules . "Image_in;";

Sorry James but i'm terrebly new at this. How exactly do i do that? Create a .txt document copy and paste the code that you wrote above in it and then change it's extension to .kmm?

@ Rain

Pretty much like you wrote, but with some more complexities.

You should create a text file and copy and paste the code in my post into it. The code part begins with the line:
# K-Meleon Macros (http://kmeleon. . ....
and continues to include the line:
$macroModules=$macroModules . "Image_in;";

The file when saved should be named Image_in.kmm

Notepad likes to put the extension txt so you need to select all files when saving or change Image_in.kmm.txt to be Image_in.kmm later.

Then you need to decide which of two possible locations to put the file. If you have write access to your K-Meleon root folder, you may place the file in the macros folder which is under the root.

If you do not have write access to the KM root folder then you will need to place the file in your profile. The easy way to find your current profile is to run KM and do EDIT - CONFIGURATION - PROFILE DIRECTORY. If this is the first macro you adding to your profile then the folder macros will not exist. Create a folder with that name and copy the Image_in.kmm file to it. Then close the edit window.

Note that if you run multiple profiles, the first method is preferable. If you can't do that one, then you will need to add the macro to each profile.

No matter which method, you will need to restart KM for the file to be read.

Exactly
Preferably with encoding UTF-8, but in this case it probably doesn't matter since there are no special characters in it.

Well, i did it but unfortunatelly it does not seem to work. When opening images it keeps opening them in a new window instead of opening them in the same and/or new tap instead of a new window.

Here's the file in case you're wondering if i did it correctly.

I'm the sole user of this computer and have administrative rights i don't user more then one profile.

There should be a new item named "Open Internal" in Images.

My first thought: perhaps you clicked the native command again instead of the new one...?

What do you prefer, same tab or new tab?

Did you get the correct item in the menu? ( New item is at bottom of menu)



This is my results.



In this case I had only one window with only a single tab in it. The image loaded in the same place as the forum thread.

Preferably the same tab, but as long as it's not opening a new window a new tab works just fine.

Okay James, i'm sorry, i'm an idiot, it worked! I just WRONGFULLY assumed it would work if i click "View Image" instead.

Thanks for both of your help.

@ Rain

I should have fixed the position but I was in too much of a hurry.

Change one item in this line of code to move the position to the top of the menu.

setmenu("I&mage", macro, "Open Internal", Image_in_RunCode, "ImageView");

Also, if you prefer different wording for the menu item, that is in the same line.

@ JamesD

No worries, it works flawlessly now, thank you!
