Hi All

When I click certain types of file links K-Mel 75.1 always asks what I want to do, I have set these type to be automatic bt still it asks

It's probably because the server doesn't set a filetype to the link.

!try with saame extension on another server. If it works, then it should be the reason, and kmeleon won't be able to do the automatic treatment, and all the other browsers too probably.

A+

But the file type (appears) to be known K-Mel presents the dialogue with the correct "default" app shown but will not justr use it to open that type, I even tried unchecking the automatic box closng and trying again recheck the box

most days I have 6 plus files in one session and every one asks

Did you try setting it in "about:preferences" or only in the popup dialogue?

I've tried setting in the pop-up, Automatical do for this file type
I've tried pefences (F2) File handling, By Type, Open wih...
and now I've tried "about:preferences" Applications, Use...

and still I get the pop-up asking

If not private, post example, please.

EDIT: or tell us the filetype (.ext).

The type that causes this (seems) to be .torrent

After a few more tests some work (of this form)

http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent

but this from type doesn't

/torrent.php?tid=xxxxxxx

this worked in k-mel 74 (& IIRC 75) but stopped in 75.1

The URL You gave as example is accepted as automatic with my 75.1 on XP 32 Corp SP3. It is using an ancient Profile copy.

You can use a number of HTML observer addons (e.g. LiveHTML) to listen to what is communicated between browser and page.

I do not understand:

Explain please

He means the links from tvunderground. Or at least is the only site that matched that pattern.

Example:
http://tvunderground.org.ru/torrent.php?tid=116553

In other words, links that don't have a .torrent file directly linked but an ID that, then, the PHP parser sends as a file with its extension.

In 75.0 he was correctly, and does work with both type of links without problem.

Haven't tested on 75.1, sorry.

Thanks

He was correct

Again correct it has only just stopped working (since 75.1 upgrade)
