Development :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
A place to discuss 'must have', 'nice to have', buttons, sizes of buttons and any other features for an updated restart.kmm using a Command ID rather than an external program.
I did some basic code in http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?8,132640,132723#msg-132723
I also did a change to make a current kmm work and have backwards compatibility here http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?8,132640,132726#msg-132726
desga2 offered some buttons.
George_Hall refreshed my memory on where some original code resides.
I will try to check if all these use the same buttons.
Questions::
1) Need to have backward compatibility? Yes or No
2) Keep same name or change? Yes or No
3) Keep at least the current feature set? I vote yes.
4) How shall macro determine button size?
5) Other questions/comments?
Perhaps I'd first wait for RC2. Almost ready to bet that Dorian will add the line in menus.cfg anyway:
CloseWindow{
&Close Window=windowClose
Restart K-Meleon=appRestart
Exit &K-Meleon=appExit
}
That will probably be enough for most people, so the macro will only be needed for people who want session options and a button.
Must admit I can't help wondering if people who restart very often wouldn't have a simply quickstart or desktop shortcut anyway (sufficiant for myself, and do restarts all the time for testing macros). Then again, I did facilitate opening the previous session too, by having the sessions list on an own button, needing only 1 click instead of 2. I like that this way it stays flexible, still allows to decide each time if the previous session shall be opened or not.
Backward compatibility depends if additional autoit-programs will still be needed for those special options, don't know. If not, if for KM7X a simple kmm-file would be enough, then I'd rather use separate macros.
Why so much interest for a restart feature? Unless you keep fiddling with macros ...
I do fiddle with macros. Your new Command ID is so much better than the old method. I can now have my default KM open to MacroLanguage2 in one tab and Command Ids or Plugins or whatever in another tab, while restarting my 75RC to test a macro using only one click. It is great.
I cannot begin to express my appreciation enough for your work on K-Meleon. Thank you.
Restart2 ver. 1.0
>>> Changelog <<<
Uses the new Command ID for restart
No external executable file needed
Restart of a single K-Meleon among many is possible
Preferences renamed to avoid word "extension"
Two buttons of differing style and color are provided
User choice of button from menu is provided
Automatic run of error console is an option
File menu item is possible but currently commented out
Accelerator keyset provided ALT SHIFT X
Produces a failure message if run on K-Meleon version which lacks needed resources
I made an attempt to use macro naming standards
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1522294/Restart2.7z
Restart2 ver. 1.1
>>> Changelog <<<
Fixed mis-named pref - "k-meleon_restart2.restart" from "k-meleon_restart2"
Added user option to set 'File CloseWindow' menu item ON or OFF
Added code to set restart2 not to load after first attempt fails for wrong K-Meleon version
Added keyboard accelerator to 'File CloseWindow' menu *
* (spacing can't change - macros do not have access to the normal column for accel keys )
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1522294/Restart2.7z
Just pinning the macro file here in order to make it safe from deletion of accounts, links etc.

I don't want to bury anyone else, as I already did with Dorian, but he was over 7x years old about 10 years ago and we don't know about him since long ago, so... who knows? I don't know. If he is alive, with his health problems, might not be able to use the PC any more, maybe...

K-Meleon Restart http://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/restart3.7z wihout a button icon and K-meleon Restart Plus hhttp://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/restart3-plus.7z which contains a button icon are located atat K-Meleon Extensions Central under Enhancements
K-Meleon Restart http://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/restart3.7z and K-meleon Restart Plus hhttp://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/restart3-plus.7z are newer than Restart K-Meleon above.
I will try to check if all these use the same buttons.
