Please tell me the way to back-up my bookmarks before updating to the latest version of K-Meleon.
Thanks.
Use menu items EDIT - CONFIGURATION - PROFILE DIRECTORY to open your profile folder. There you will see a file called Bookmarks.html. Copy that file to some place safe. Make sure that you do not put it in the Kmeleon program folder or the Kmeleon folder in Document and Setting if that is where you have your profile now.
@momotaro - Follow JamesD's excellent advice. In addition, since this brings up an instance of Windows Explorer, You will want to highlight both bookmarks.html and iconcache.dat together. Hold down the Ctrl key and press the C key to copy the files. Then, click on the Folder button to open the left panel of Windows Explorer and click into a folder where you want to store these two files. Click on that folder and holding down the Ctrl key press the V key to copy the files into that folder.
The reason you want to copy both files is that bookmarks.html contains the urls and iconcache.dat holds the favicons. In the 1.5 iteration of K-M these two files work in tandem to display the bookmark's name and icons.
