Even with XP sp3, and 2.8Ghz era single core intel....no accelerated video even on the demo site. To take advantage of the stage video, I think you need current OS such as Vista or better...or more recent hardware...

Yes, the pain is basically nonexistent if you know what you're doing! I have a program that runs at startup that cleans all the temp files older than a few days old. But is your batch distributed to users of hacked flash? Does anyone warn them of the problem of endlessly storing files on their machine? I was just warning them in case they don't know. It's a surprising side effect f

I think the patch they are speaking of is to prevent the deletion of downloaded flash from the \temp folder. This is one way of saving flash content such as music or video to a portable device. I don't like it because it really clogs up your disk with flash files. I like to use ClipConverter.cc to extract flash, it's free and offloads the computation to somebody else as well... The o

Reporting it works in W98 with KEx and KM 1.6. Did not test accelerated video, but this computer is so old, I wonder if it really has any significant video acceleration in its video driver....

Well, in general, at least on W98, these things happen all over the place. See previous post. And I may have spoken too soon, I just had one of these "non events" not 2 seconds before navigating here, and I have not changed anything, so maybe turning on KEx for everything improves response, but not fix 100%. Do people running XP also experience "lost events" from keyboard a

plugin files like audio are not stored in kmeleon cache. they are stored in temp folder. it doesn't make any difference what you set your cache to. you can see what files are stored in cache in the latest kmeleon by looking in cache panel of prefs. Streaming radio isn't usually stored on the disk at all, no need, it's streaming. The buffer is in memory of the plugin. I found on
Forum: General

Kmeleon does not save anything in the temp folder, but plugins do. That's where content you download and ask to "open" rather than "save" goes. That's where audio, video, flash, pdf's also go while they are in use. The plugin is responsible to delete them when finished, but doesn't always do the job. If there is a crash while the content is in use, it will

@siria Working on the window freeze up problem where you need to click the taskbar to wake it up.

MicroRSS v1.8beta is available for KM1.6. Adds compatibility with Feed Subscribe extension... What is it ?? A compact, simple, RSS feed reader that organzies RSS feeds and loads them, it only takes up about 14K. It will allow podcasts to be downloaded from feeds. New Features for 1.8: - Accepts URL's from Feed Subscribe extension. - Only one instance at a time is allowed now. So that

they could have changed the formatting in the feed, or it could be microrss, the problem is that there is no standard for what kind of html can be put into a feed. there is no setting that works flawlessly on all sites, I just try to find a good compromise. maybe mozilla doesn't recognize that they are images because they are in a hyperlink? who knows? i even try to turn on the kmeleon autom
Forum: Extensions

Yeah, I didn't try it. I guess you would switch with onFocus rather than onClick or something. Well, you can figure it out. I think it had the event onFocus because one used to be able to use keyboard navigation to select and read the feeds, but that's gone in the next version anyways. As long as you can read and select, it can work for you. And I agree, there is a logic to making it

Awesome. Now go into tree.htm and find the function drawFeedTree. You will see that the subscription tree is made from ordinary hyperlinks in a recursive function. You can interchange the click events on the hyperlinks to make single click open, and double click select. On about the 3rd line of the function. Let me know how (or if) it works.

You just have to turn them on. Hit F2 to get preferences. Then under Kmeleon plugins:macro extension you will see check boxes to select the features you want and deselect the features you don't need. The menus etc will change automagically to reflect this. If there is anything missing in 1.6, it probably is because it's no longer needed or advisable to use it. There is no difference

If you are running KM from a RAM drive, and your cache folder in your profile is located on that RAM drive, then your disk cache is really in RAM. So it's the same as cache in RAM or on a RAM drive. There are no possibilities of any kind of conflicts - other than your RAM drive decreases the amount of memory available for KM and other programs to actually run in, and in extreme cases will le

Can be done. I would chooose the 7zip package because it is less likely to install over, meaning on top of, 1.5.4.

If you make a new color scheme, send it to me and maybe we can offer more than one. I'm sure my choices aren't the best for everyone.

But we do learn that the problem is not rendering icons, just storing them or downloading them, since previously cached ones look

The Icon problem... By which I mean the favicon problem, not the menu icon problem. Garbled favicons are found, at least on W98. I have noticed something, I replaced the Iconcache.dat with an old one from KM 1.5 and now all the icons look perfect, even the new ones I think. But I don't have the chrome folder with new ad css and broken picture css in my profile. When I added that, it see

It could then check to see if another instance of itself is running and close it. Then the user c

IE looks faster because it does not delay drawing the page and constantly "reflows" it, giving you something to look at while it loads. Mozilla likes to wait a while before drawing the page, which makes it look slower, but you can read the page as soon as it draws. You can make Mozilla browsers just like IE if you'ld like by changing the initialpaintdelay pref in about:config. Just
