Hi,

1) create a new profile (Edit => Profile Manager), and check 'choose'
2) close K-Meleon
3) Open K-Meleon and choosethe new folder
4) Close K-Meleon
5) Open K-Meleon and choose old folder
6) Delete the new folder(Edit => Profile Manager)
=> Error : 'The profile can't be deleted as it is in use'

After some search, I found the reason (but not the solution):
the name given to the new profile is wrong:

Exemple on a fresh install, but I think it will be the same in other cases:

old profile: vl4m0neb.default
new profile: vl4m0neb.test

Two solutions:

1) The part before the name have a diferent value than the one from which we create the new profile (as it was with previous K-Meleon versions)

2) The deletion function takes the complete name.

Tested under Linux and XP with K-Meleon 74.0-24 and K-Meleon 74.0-31

Just a remark about profiles.ini:

It would be nice if General was located before Profile0

A+

Weird...
Checked my various test profile names now:
5 have the same name as default, and 3 have other names!

But I cannot manage to create another "same" one now.
Even if "Ask at startup" is disabled again (the first thing I always activate in new installs) and the default session active again.
And not the slightest idea what suddenly "switched" the new names to random ones again.

If I recall correctly, all my profiles were created at the startup asking-popup, not during an open session. Made that a habit years ago, because there was already some other bug when creating new profiles in session when afterwards they were left empty or something, can't remember details exactly.

vl4m0neb.neu is the name here. And can not be deleted. XP SP3.

I haven't made the test, but I think that creating a profile before connecting should be ok.

But the fact is that there is a bug which shouldn't be too much hard to solve.

Fixed. Kmeleon is just thinking that all profiles are in use because of a bad check.
