cookie management?

Can someone point me to a good cookie manager that will work wtih K-M?

I'd basically like to be able to some delete cookies, although it would be an interesting project to create a cross-browser cookie manager that would allow carrying cookies from one browser to another, as gul does for bookmarks.

I don't think any common freeware cookie manager is very suitable for K-Meleon cookies. However, I've heard that if you make cookies.txt read-only, the sites will let you in but no cookies will be actually saved...

A plugin for K-Meleon cookie management would be a good thing.

I wonder if we could hook into Mozilla's cookie manager?

You can still edit cookies from Edit - Preferences - Privacy - Edit Cookies or, I think, you can write a macro to edit cookies.txt with another text editor than Notepad, for example, with PFE (that app is quite good for cookie editing):

cookies {
menu = Edit Cookies
exec(C:\xxx\PFE\pfe32.exe C:\xxx\cookies.txt)
}

Then you should add

macros(cookies)

to somewhere in your menus.cfg

Oh yes, there is still one program that somehow works with K-Meleon cookies. It's shareware though, namely Cookie Pal:

<a href="http://www.kburra.com/cpal.html">http://www.kburra.com/cpal.html</a>;

You have to change your Netscape cookie folder path to K-Meleon folder of cookies.txt.

Thereafter you can manage your K-M cookies in detail.

Po,

It is the same cookie as Mozilla but we need a way to manage it.

andrew,

i was basically seconding this notion:

> I wonder if we could hook into Mozilla's cookie manager?
seems that if it's the same file, the mozilla (or some third party) manager could be adapted to the task fairly easily... but i wouldn't really know. smiling smiley
