Have added a ticket on the tracker devoted to this request.

My russian comrades ask - how to clear saved forms data but I found that no option is present in KM for that. (Firefox gives such a possibility from Clear Data options).

The only workaround that I was able to suggest - was to edit pref

browser.formfill.expire_days

changing default 180 to 0 or 1 for not storing data at all or keeping it only for current day.

It would be great to have such an option added to great KM's privacy options.

Guess Dorians job ;-)

For curiosity researched a bit too, but only got as far as this:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_autocomplete_entries

At least single entries can be deleted most easily via "Del" key!

And there's a very sophisticated FF-addon with tons of options:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/form-history-control

Looks like by a basic KM macro could only use the pref you gave, which deletes everything, and will only take effect after next restart :-/
So as long as there's no other way, a pref-toggle-macro could be a crude workaround, with the above catches. It could be set to remember the previous value in a new pref, and use "0 days" (or whatever is input) only at startup, then afterwards restore the old value. Better than nothing, but oh well...

I might be able to create this by myself, but I cannot write macro which uses user input.

I need at least one working example to get into.

Cool - have fun

Found an INT-example in one of my never-finished macros, may look more complicated than necessary but contains some optional proof-checks.
Of course, any input only makes sense if the user shall choose the max-days-limit with it (=Delete all entries older than x days)

MenP_TabsMultiLine{
macroinfo="If too many tabs, show more rows. Set width in F2>Tabbed Browsing";
$_old=getpref(INT,"kmeleon.tabs.multiline");
$_old=="0" ? setpref(INT,"kmeleon.tabs.multiline","1") :0;
$_new=prompt("Set MAX number of lines for tab bar (default 1)","PREF: kmeleon.tabs.multiline",$_old=="0"?"1":$_old);
if ($_new>"0" and $_new<"9") {
setpref(INT,"kmeleon.tabs.multiline",$_new);
statusbar("Tab bar now max ".$_new." lines");
}
$_new="" ; $_old="" ;
}


I'd try if $OnStartup works to restore the bak-pref, then immediately that bak again (delpref)...
Or if that's too early, try $OnLoadOnce... But that tends to get messed by a few other macros, overwriting that string instead of using it incrementally like all other strings. And as we know, everyone keeps copying other macros as template, perpetuing mistakes ;-)

Just for fun, perhaps a few syntax basics, for everyone interested, now or in future stumbling across here :cool:

x==y?a:b means: "If x=y then do a else do b" (and 0 means: do nothing).
z= x==y?a:b means: "If x=y then z=a else z=b"
If a number-pref doesn't exist at all, getpref returns "0".

Real examples:
$_old=="0" ? setpref(INT,"kmeleon.tabs.multiline","1") :0;
=> if the number-pref was 0 *or* didn't exist yet, set it now to 1, otherwise do nothing (leave as is)

$_new=prompt("Set MAX number of lines for tab bar (default 1)","PREF: kmeleon.tabs.multiline",$_old=="0"?"1":$_old);
=> Ask user for input, with info-line "Set MAX..." and box Title "PREF:..." (both free text)
The suggested value in the input field shall be the same as before.
If that didn't exist yet, suggest "1"

Hi,
Wait a little friends, no macro is nedded, I can add this options to Preference panel.
I think this options must be setting in Preference panel and add one option to clear forms in Tools -> Privacy -> Clear Data, when I know how to delete it.

This is how to in Firefox:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-whether-firefox-automatically-fills-forms

I'm working on it.

Greetings.

Great desga!
Am just not sure if it's that simple, since those clear-commands are all plugin-commands, and clearform isn't listed for it yet.

And meanwhile also noticed, slightly shocked:
There are absolutely NO options anymore how much history to store?
Only keep ALL forever or clear ALL now? :O
That's a major bummer, no way...

Explanation:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?1,127500,127500#msg-127500

In other words, now is impossible to set a specific amount of time. And as the history is placed in places.sqlite, isn't all as easy as it was with history.dat in the past (places is holder of more preferences).

In the end I set these preferences to 20000, what, in my personal case, is between 2 and 3 months. For others could be just only one, and others maybe 6 months.
places.history.expiration.max_pages
places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages

Let users to set time or number of entries wouldn't represent a realistic conception of what is and what isn't stored.

I reached this thread searching how to stop k-meleon from storing usernames.

After reading your contribution I find out that my wish can be easyly fulfilled. Just edit pref

browser.formfill.enable

changing value true to false.
