I don't think hostperm file is used anymore, these things are stored in an SQL database filenow, I think it changed around version 1.5 or so...

I did some testing and I'm pretty sure I was wrong about Kmeleon XUL, it actually is the same as FF XUL. The only difference is that FF uses the XUL to display everything such as browser toolbars, menus, etc while Kmeleon maps these parts of the user interface to Windows MFC calls. If you write a xUL extension, it's user interface calls are handled by XUL rather than MFC even in KMeleon

@Guenter Yes, if you can't get it to build ... I'm not confident that I can either! But I do have an old XP laptop that I hate, or can buy a newer computer, for me I just hope when it's built, it will still run well under W98. Still, I am willing to bet that just getting it to compile on any system will be a significant pain. Could you please PM me or email me? My contact info i

@JohnHell I don't think Kmeleon's XUL and Firefox XUL are the same things, maybe someone who knows for sure can clarify. I think Kmeleon maps XUL calls (to say draw a button or dialog) to MFC calls, in other words it understands the basics of XUL language but does something entirely different with it. FF essentially draws them by Gecko itself,all the buttons and everything else you s

To clarify, XULrunner is Mozilla's cross platform application framework. It is more or less the engine that runs firefox and its interface. In other words, it runs XUL applications without having FF open. Examples of XUL applications are firefox user interface and extensions. Kmeleon has limited ability to run these XUL applications, presumably by mapping XUL functions ( like buttons and too

Forum: Development

The thing is, if we go to XuLRunner as Fred suaggested, I don't think it will be "lite" anymore. Just FF with a more Kmeleon-like interface and KMM. I can't even get XULrunner to run on my old machine, though I haven't tried very hard. Maybe the best thing to do is to just to get KM working for real with FF3.6 Gecko, which is a big improvement over 3.5. Alot of complai

In case someone didn't answer this, the injectJS takes a string argument, you need to put it into quotes in other words.

I'd like to hear from some of our regular contributors ( and others!) what you think is so special about Kmeleon that it deserves to continue. Doesn't Firefox now do everything Kmeleon does? I am asking this because I am a C++ and javascript developer, and I am currently unemployed and have been thinking over whether I want to volunteer to develop Kmeleon. For me, why keep using it?
Forum: General

This is very interesting idea Fred. But it removes MFC classes from the browser completely I would guess. Essentially, it is then Firefox without all their "chrome" and we could start over. What is it that makes Kmeleon Kmeleon then? The macro language? The user community? Would it still load quicker than FF ( and their load time seems to have gone down quite a bit these days )? I am

Ramdisks are already built into windows since 1995 because everything written to disk is also written to RAM for quick access, so you are now keeping two copies of your cache in RAM. Try geting rid of the ramdisk, I will be very surprised if it has been speeding up anything except the time it takes for your machine to run out of RAM and resort to disk swapping, which is what is slowing it down.
Forum: Extensions

I'm not sure I understand this, when the disk cache gets full, old entries are automatically thrown out to make room for new entries. Clearing the cache should make it slower, not faster... You can also just make your disk cache bigger, ask if you don't know how...Normally, a browser always has a FULL cache so displaying it's state would be pointless. Also, videos are not store

Possible, but not directly with macro language unless it is something already included in the macro language like popping an alert box or loading a URL. There is a list of actions that are possible on this page. To add something else to macro language you need to make a chrome extension and run it from macro language or use the injectJS function to do the same thing. essentially it must be ru

Have you tried using FTP client rather than a web browser to view and xfer files from the server? One that I use in kmeleon is KMfireFtp. but it does not always run properly on the newest unofficial versions. Should work in 1.6b2 or below though.

My understanding of the situation... Whether it's required or not, it is good etiquette to inform the authors that you will create a derivative work and follow any restrictions they may have, but if they restrict you in a way not included in the license, you do not have to follow that. It is also good etiquette and ethical to credit the sources of your derivative work along with yourse

does anyone know of a link to the unhexed plugin? The adobe download now has some kind of fancy installer that aborts on W98.. thanks.
Forum: General

For W98 and KernelX users, I recommend downloading Fred's KM-16-S2014. Based on Seamonkey, everything works except URL bar history ( kernel X bug i think). Faster and more stable than 1.6b2 on my system. The newer releases by Fred are faster because of more recent Geckos, but not everything works, lots of macros fail and some add-ons. Not totally stable either. But they are usable and fas
Forum: General

Yeah, I had the same problem, it has to do with the directory the KM thinks it's launched under. IN my case I can launch it from the .exe itself, but it fails from a shortcut. I'm not sure I used the same version as you have, but there was some problems with javascript based macros, maybe siria's solution will fix that. It had some other bugs, especially the random mouse select, i
Forum: General

yeah, they don't retrofit that unless it comes by accident. but there were 2 big jumps in speed in FF, one was v4 and one was earlier, and in between they kept ramping up the speed in the intermediate versions. I was thinking of the js engine in the Fred's 1.7 hybrid, which is almost like FF4. but that may not be in either of the builds I compared, i don't remember. My main poin
Forum: Other custom builds

I think there is more to it than that, I do notice the change in js speed on some sites, i believe there was a big jump in js performance between these versions... but perhaps more significantly, many of Fred's versions don't have the random mouse select bug, this bug also seems to include random delays where nothing appears to be happening. And I have feeling it is due to some com
Forum: Other custom builds

Yes, Fred's 1.6 builds are snappier than 1.6b2. And they usually don't have the annoying random moouse down selection bug that 1.6b2 has, at least under W98 KX.

yes! i don't know of any method to catch tab focus changes either without javascript. that could be another kplugin! or better yet, put these features in the new version as you suggested.
Forum: General

yes, that's exactly the problem with the status bar text, you switch tabs or just hover over a link, and it's gone. it's not meant for permanent use like the icons on the other side of the status bar. as far as menu bars, that's a different story as you know, that should work fine. it's just that the status bar is basically wasted space and is the logical place to look f
Forum: General

the problem with displaying text in the status bar is that it tends to disappear when you move the cursor. or some other unknown macro overwrites it. it would be nice if someone would write a plugin that would allow icons on the status bar like the popup blocked icon ( although it is ugly ).
