Kmeleon Bookmark and Cookie FAILURE
Posted by: stardance

Last night my system locked up and upon reboot and loading Kmeleon, I see that all my bookmarks have dissappeared and there is no longer a bookmark Icon or menu
item for bookmarks. Additionally all cookies and settings are gone and the
program appears to be a fresh install....

WHERE ARE MY BOOKMARKS and where did the bookmark icon and functionality GO?

Thanks

Sometimes when you have a lockup the next time KM starts it makes a new profile. It did not erase your old. Use EDIT - CONFIGURATION - PROFILE DIRECTORY to find your current (new) profile. Then close KM and look in the same area for the earlier profile. It will have a name like "q6psu8b0.default" where the q6psu8b0 part is a random name. You can copy bookmarks and cookies from the old profile to the new one. They are "bookmarks.html" and "cookies.txt".

The same files exist in the new profile - overwrite them with the ones You want.

Alternative: You can edit new Profiles.ini to use old profile name smiling smiley

p.s. as soon as You find that windows scandisk run has only eaten profile.ini You have won grinning smiley
