Problems with K-meleon

Postby Fulvio » Sat 02 Nov, 2002 12:19 am

Please, do not take a chance with K-meleon. It has lifted all components of my Personal Toolbar, and, now I cannnot put anything there. It seems to have messed up something more than the profile. I can have only the item given us by Netscape in the no more Personal Toolbar.

I wondered where all of the links on my Personal Toolbar in Netscape 7.0 had gone!
I thought something had corrupted my profile, but now I know it's something to do with
the installation of K-Meleon. I think the Netscape Bookmarks Plugin that's bundled with
this new K-M release is the likely cause of the problem. I would advise anyone who has
not already installed K-M 0.7, but would still like to give it a whirl, do a custom install
and uncheck the tickbox for the Netscape Bookmarks Plugin, especially if you have
a copy of Netscape 7, or any current or fairly recent Mozilla build on your system.

I know that it is K-meleon, because it happened with a previous version, 0.4 I think which lifted the bookmarks from an early 6.x. I was told that 0.5 had fixed the problem, and it had, and the beta 6.5 was ok.
As for the bookmarks, I was asked which version I wanted to use, and the selection was made from the oldest and most complete NS7. I am not going to push my luck, but I would use some undescribed Mozilla, the next time, if I ever select to reinstall KM
.However, now, I cannot put any new bookmark in the NS7 Toolbar. K-meleon ideas are good, but not too well implemented. So far none at there Forum has come up with any idea as to why this happened.

When you export your NS/Moz bookmarks into K-Meleon, KM writes any changes to the file. Because of that, I never mix KM's NS/Moz bookmarks files with the native NS/Moz bookmark file.
