K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
I just started exploring K-Meleon and am fairly happy with it. The one feature it seems to be missing is a solid history feature that will potentially allow me to find pages I have visited in a reasonable period in the past. The address combo only holds pages I have typed in, not those I have traversed via links. I often end up using the history feature to get back to some page I hit a few hours (or days) back which might be difficult to find again without another extensive search.
Jim,
The embedded version of Mozilla that we use doesn't provide good history functionality. I know that the developers are working on this issue. The particular bug report at Mozilla is:

Can't K-Meleon disk cache just be converted into a html file and presented in the browser?
or better yet, an HTML presentation of the history.dat file?
Yes. Type about:cache in the location bar.
hey, now there's an 'about:' i can use...
how come nobody mentioned that one in <a href="http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?f=1&i=2125&t=2125">this</a>; thread?
about:cache is quite all right except for the following:
(a) you don't get history direct, you have to click "List Cache Entries" first;
(b) the cache entries list includes, separately, css-s, gifs and other kinds of files which are not always necessary and which make finding the right history item complicated; there should an option to display "only urls visited" or "all cached files" - that was what I meant under "conversion"; - just to make history presentation user-friendly
(c) the cache entries list includes the size and date etc for every cache item; that is not so necessary, just names (urls) in the list would often be enough.
A good history list is provided e.g. by Opera: it's compact in appearance and lists visited htmls by date (coming first) and then all urls (under that date).
The page title should also be shown with the URL; there are some very opaque URLs out there.
it's funny you should say that... i'm usually frustrated with the opacity of the titles, myself. seeing both is definitely best.
Use this forum to talk about a feature you're missing.
