Images on toolbars created by macro are working as expected now in KM-75b as well!

GUI is broken now too? No language setting possible anymore, no drop down, no dropdown list to choose a Skin, and checkmark for skin background doesn't show either...

Déjà vu.
It was a quick fix last time and I assume so it will be this time.

Regarding the broken Help>Welcome in unzipped version, before the update I noticed "general.useragent.contentlocale" was missing. Adding that alone didn't help, only adding it by clicking the en language pref in the GUI tab (although it is already showing the same out of the box).
Perhaps there could be some startup check for this pref, and if missing that language-command executed automatically (don't know the command name)

Just confirming this. Drop down menus gone

The cookie viewer was fixed.

The toolbar dragging still broken. I stop reporting this as I used to have now unlocked even some accidental drag may happen.

The drag of the URL (dragging from url bar page icon) to create a shortcut as described here, still broken.

The history search has been broken again. Search is not working correctly, context menu isn't working as well as should, etc, etc. It is as how it was when was broken in earlier versions. More or less, but not useful.

Fixed the download dialog reported by KMFan.




And I don't know what else. I actually lost track of what I reported earlier xD

Download again, same problem than last time.
Have to check why this file is badly updated.

Did you change some settings maybe?

YES.... I found now.

Guess it.

What do I do that all of you don't?

WINDOWS instead TABS.

kmeleon.notab to true makes the glitch appear.
kmeleon.notab to false makes it work as expected.

I have some information about why the Help > Welcome to K-Meleon ! does not work until one actually chooses a language in Preferences.

There is a difference between the DEFAULT and USER SET values for "general.useragent.locale". One has the value "en-US" and the other has the value "en-USCRLF".

I found that I could change whether the welcome appeared by switching between the default and user set values.

The fix for the failure to open the Welcome to K-Meleon panel is to add the correct default in line 7 of sI10n.js in browser\defaults\preferences.

/********************************************************************************************************/
// Locale default pref for k-meleon 
/********************************************************************************************************/
//pref("general.useragent.locale", "chrome://global/locale/intl.properties");
//pref("intl.accept_languages", "chrome://global/locale/intl.properties");
//pref("intl.charset.detector", "universal_charset_detector");
pref("general.useragent.locale", "en-US");

pref("general.useragent.locale", "en-US");

Another fix is to place the i10n.js in browser/defaults/preferences

which is created when K-Meleon installed with the installer instead using the portable 7zip file.

If pref("general.useragent.locale", "en-US"); is in that file the Welcome Message for English will be displayed with this method.

Also you can set the other locales as the default language for new profiles

With this method you ad locales as the default locale without having to add or change line 7 to sI10n.js everytime you want to change the default locale for new profiles

Dorian,

ru-locale still has bookmarking bug when no link address is filled into new bookmark record. Even importing some links from Favorites doesn't solve the problem.

Please, fix russian bookmarks kplugin too!

Not sure what you're talking about, russian seems to works fine for me.

Well, I mean this:



and it goes that way even in English.
May be my XP is missing some dll, like those from MS Visual C++?



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/24/2015 07:27PM by rodocop.

Hi,

After a few time, I'm here again, and I have installed 75b3 and b3u1

It seems it has solved (since b3) the problem of the toolbars which moved when trying to change the location. Nice, this bus was here since a long time.

But I have always the problem with icon transparency :



I have tried to modify the png images, like I done with AuraAlpha(CNot), setting the background with a color instead of a transparency, and the result is the same ... trash

I have tried also to add AuraAlpha(CNot) folder,and it seems to work correctly ... except it doesn't resize all the icons as the last toolbar version done.

Jujuland, if it happens only with the new skin system, and not the old, Wine might be using the same functions calls as in Windows 2000, or better, the same dlls.

AFAIK current alpha channel transparency uses a function from common control version 6. XP can use several versions of the dll side by side.

The program checks if the correct version is there. IMHO it toggles transparency if it is not found.

Older versions off the dll know only full transparency or none or do not support it.

Use skins with magic pink for these old systems.

Maybe Dorian knows some more things You can do.

Maybe place the right dll in K-Meleon folder? Change default search path for that?

Speaking of hotlist, I just checked an age old bug and it's still there, KM75b3up1 in Vista:
When adding a new entry, all nicks are deleted when the browser exits.

In KM1.6/1.7 exchanging hotlist.dll with the 2009-Version from KM1.54 still worked fine, but in KM75 it doesn't work at all anymore.

@Dorian, I'm not requesting a fix, as the old skins work. I already told with the original K-meleon 75 and subsequent versions what was happening.

While the old skinning works, I don't have anything to blame. Once was broken but then worked again, and if happens again, hey, I'm with an old OS. I know the risks. As I already told in these threads, if it is specific to Windows 2000 I won't insist too much.

Here I was just answering Jujuland, as he uses Wine, and Wine might use old Windows dll wrappers.

About the last line of this quote, this only happens on new skin system, not the old one.

I want to leave this clear. Old skins transparency work, new skins don't.

I already placed a comctl32.dll in the K-meleon root, but I think I forgot to remove comctl32.dll from the KnownDlls Windows protection. And as I wen't back to K-meleon 74 when javascript stop wasn't working thanks to Mozilla I just ignored it. A couple of days ago I saw the dlls and I just deleted because I didn't remember why I placed in the K-meleon 75 folder.

If I remember now, I'll do tonight. I need to reboot and I don't usually reboot until I just switch off.

Dorian: There's another bug that I've been noticing for a while. The bug is that when watching a flash video, going to another tab, and back to it causes it to show the frame that was last displayed before switching then it shows the actual frame its now at. An example can be viewed by going to http://www.twitch.tv/werster/v/3835336.

Dorian,

adding a bookmark to Hotlist works fine even while GUI localized to russian.

Am currently working much on my old favorites macro again, and just yesterday discovered that this prehistoric function favorites(Config) can actually switch the fav menu folder instantly - kinda cool for macroplayers
Of course NOT using the native favorites(Add) then, which can't seem to change folders during a session.

But there's one little bug: when calling that Config-command and clicking the "open folder" button, it doesn't work - instead THIS seems the magic button to press when the menu folder shall be updated or changed! That is, after typing the folder path manually into the input field.

Have already implemented that "change folder" gimmick in the macro, by this workaround: first choosing a folder via promptforfolder, setting this as fav-folder-pref, then calling this config function, but now must show an alert to tell the user he shall press this "..." button instead of OK-button. Works fine, on KM75/vista and KM16/win98, but a bit bothersome.

Don't know if it would be difficult or not, but getting that "..." button to actually open the file system, AND to get a new independant favorites(Refresh) command, would be real helpful

As I'm under Ubuntu 12.04, wine is 1.4 version, the last version is 1.6.

I make a patch with Fred to correct some problems with km74, and ought it was enough.
I had also installed Visual C++ 2010 x86.

I don't know what is missing, perhaps a new Visual C++ redistribuable ?

Wine allows dll by dll to replace the used dll by another. comctl32 is in the list.

Perhaps replacing it with a new one ?
The one you tried can perhaps done the trick.
Can you send it to me ?

Thanks

Might won't help.

I completed the test and no luck with new skins.

I used the BlackWingCat Windows 2000 wrapper and the comctl32.dll wrapper included looks that hasn't the necessary functions to make the background transparent in new skins. The comctl32.dll 6.x version it has included too, makes K-meleon crash. (no instructions on how to use this file version)

Here you will find the wrapper and the 6.x version for that file (the last version 0.97a):
http://www7.atwiki.jp/win2000/pages/17.html

I upload the Windows 2000 original comctl32.dll (5.81.4916.400) here, but I'd bet that wine has already a newer/better version:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/2vcp7sroqo0z7yt/comctl32.dll

I don't think to need it. Wine has it's own wrapper, and seems to be able to emulate Vista. So I think my comctl32.dll version is too much old.

Mine is 6.0.2600.2982, so I'm sure it won't help

I thought of a more recent version, but you seems not to have it.

Same here with 'black transparency' in KM75b3 (without u1 though) under Wine in Puppy Linux (Slacko 5.7 based Shiba Inu puplet).ould I

Should I report Linux bugs?
They aren't crucial but I think this could tell something about some inner glitches in kplugin.
Mostly in toolbar handling:
1) fixing of toolbars works partly - Tab/Window panel in my old dbTango skin jumps on its own row after every restart of KM, even being attached to tabbar through prefs;
2) skin background isn't supported (switching on/off doesn't make sense);
3) 'tab closing button' when switched on makes tabbar disappear after restart

and so on...

Only to be reported as general knowledge - not bug ticket.

But the main thing is that it works!

I can feel the diference between K-Meleon 74 and K-Meleon 75b3u1

much more stable, fast and better compatibility with modern web standards


Congratulations to all people involved in K-Meleon development!

K-Meleon 75 b3 update 2

Main changes:

- Fixed about:home memory leak
- Fixed missing status bar icon
- macro injectJS, added "hidden" for second parameter, run the script in an hidden page.
- macro getpref, fixed localized prefs
- Fixed image in toolbars.cfg
- Fixed menu on toolbar when holding left button
- Added favorites(Refresh)
- Added spellcheck:

• 2 commands
  spellcheck(mouse): check word under mouse cursor
  spellcheck(caret): check word at caret
• Fixed spellcheck in facebook comments

For creator of macros, you can check the attached macro. I'll let you discover the useless feature it adds. It's very inefficient but works well.


@rodocop: try bookmarks again with a clean profile.

Sounds GREAT, tons of fixes - really glad KM is so much alive again
And guess the missing spellcheck had been a killer for lots of people, so that's now fixed too.

Personally I love most that all those ancient macro bugs seem finally all fixed - whew!! Those were such eternal struggles driving me crazy, and often had to give up on new macros after wasting endless time in vain, and just to get a value returned was sometimes near impossible. And the rebarmenu bug with wrong checkmarks on left-click, etc. Totally frustrating, not to mention all the bugs in KM1.7, not even injectjs would work anymore, and that's the last version running at all on my online system, as fallback browser. And until last year hardly any hope left that anything would ever get fixed anymore.
Am mighty glad KM is now alive again and fully working, thank you!

- Added favorites(Refresh)

Halleluja!! That I still live to see that... and comes just in the right moment :-)
Then again, it seems to update only the system IE folder, not elsewhere as set in prefs ...favorites.directory?

Of course am still trying to keep my macros running in 1.6 too (and if possible 1.7) for the old machines, and adjust them automatic to a users KM version. Not quite sure how to figure that out best? Currently reading platform.ini, but getting a fix number somewhere would be easier.

Funny that free text button, LOL! Could very well come in handy some day.

And injectJS can now have linebreaks?! :O
Fantastic... and simple variables work too!!

What I don't understand yet is that "hidden" thing...

Thanks for all your hard work!

Thanks for the update.

Bug
The folder where downloads should be saved can't be defined.
It's not related to u2, only noticed but now.

I second this bug ticket by Yogi.

Downloads folder cannot be set, but when radiobutton is checked for 'save to download folder' files are going to default download location of the current user profile (even with portable KM).

And one request: is there some way to make KM know about current language of typing - and automatically switch dictionary for spell checker. It would be good for those who frequently types in 2 different languages.

For now I'm solving this problem using faked en_US dictionary, actually containing 2 langs (en&ru)
