Is there a possiblity to integrate a downloadmanager (like Flashget) into the K-Meleon kontextmenus? Like "rightclicking link > Download with CoolProgram"?
If there is one, K-Meleon is my browser!

Well.. if your coolDownloaderProgram can be started from the command line with
coolDownloaderProgram.exe http://www.site.com/stuff_to_download.blah

I would try to put the following into my
Profiles\yourName\xxxxxxx.slt[b]macros.cfg[/b]:

cool_download{
menu = "Download with CoolProgram";
#no line breaks:
exec("C:\\Program Files\\coolDownloaderProgram\\coolDownloaderProgram.exe ".$LinkURL);
}

and then, in menus.cfg, look for the code for LinkPopup:
LinkPopup {
....
....
}
(and ImageLinkPopup)
and add to it
LinkPopup {
....
macros(cool_download)
....
}

..but I haven't tested it.. Does it work? :-)

Doesn't the flashget mozilla/opera plug-in work with km.
I must admit I haven't been able to get it going

Flashget is spyware, or pay ware. I have used it in the past with the Opera plugin, and it works. I used an older version and purged the spy program with adaware. I now use stardownloader and find it faster and less troublesome than flashget.

The plug-in works fine, simply install it, but not into the plugins directory, but directly into where you install KM or move the files after install.
But the problem is, that the "download everything with flashget" function isn't supported by the plugin and this is the feature I miss most.

@hugo: FG uses two different htm files, one for single file download, one for the feature described above. I managed to load the htm file, but it doesn't do anything. I searched the registry, but the IE doesn't seem to hand over any parameters to the file.

@timoch: old habits die hard.

Oops, now I know why it didn't work: I thougt KM would use the JavaRE automatically, if it was installed.

If you want to integrate a free download manager, try Fresh Download. Is a completely free download manager, without any banners or spyware, but is only a freeware (no opensource) but if you like it, contact the Freshdevices.com staff.
