Hi,
I'm looking for a browser (other than IE, FF, Chrome, Opera, Safari) that can open multiple URL's (in tabs) via the command line. Is this possible with K-Mellon? It will happen via a script, so the script could update a cfg or profile file as well, if text based. Thanks.
Steve

Certainly possible one way or the other, with the help of your script and possibly a special profile.
And perhaps a little KM macro if needed (or not), but may need some fiddling. Or perhaps a bat-file?

So far just not sure about the "if needed" part or what would be the simplest in general, Dorian will hopefully tell more...

Commandline options are here:
http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/CommandLineOptions
So far that can open (single?) URLs or sessions.

But there is a new KM version underway (KM75) which handles some things differently than older ones, like how sessions are stored, or this "Load Tabs on Demand" thing...

Hi,

Here is what I think

1) create a profile to do that
2) Use a macro (in profile/macros) which opens with openintab() all your addresses, and which is launched at startup ( onInit ?)
3) If addresses are always the same, nothing more to do that launch k-meleon with -p option, else make a bat which creates the macro file with the needed addresses and which launches k-meleon with -p option.

A+

The longer I think about it...
Just fire as many "k-m.exe URL" commands as you have URLs. If the browser is set to use tabs, they will all open inside the same window and same session.

Then again, jujulands idea is cool too. Hardcoded URLs inside the kmm itself, extremely easy to create and for you to manipulate!

Sira, that idea works perfectly and is very simple. For the record just need to set

Preferences->Browsing->Window Diversion->Open: URLs passed from external app->In a new tab

Then from the command line call it multiple times eg.

./k-meleon.exe "http://yahoo.com";
./k-meleon.exe "http://google.com";
etc

Thanks everyone for your help. This is the first time I've used K-Meleon and so far like it very much. Regards
Steve

Cool, glad all works fine for you now

And oops, had completely forgotten to consider that pref! After a few years you get so used to your own settings and forget they may not be default :cool: Glad you found it anyway, which really isn't easy, rather hard to find that one!
