Improvement requests :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
K-Meleon has the tab-window feature. Mozilla and Opera have it too.
But K-Meleon doesn't have what Opera and Mozilla have - that if you have multiple tab-window enabled - that is, if you have more than one tab window active, - when you click the "X" button on the upper-right-hand corner, Mozilla and Opera will ask you if you want to close ALL the windows, and offer you a chance to NOT do such a thing if you don't want to.
K-Meleon on the other hand, due to the lack of such a feature, sometimes when I want to close just a layer - that is, one of the many tab-windows I've opened, - and click on the WRONG "X" button -
I know that I suppose to click on the "little x with pieces of paper"
sign to close ONE tab-window
but sometimes I click on that "big-X" sign on the upper right-hand-corner, I LOST ALL THE LAYERS, ALL AT ONCE !
I hope that in the future version of K-M, you will make K-M prompt the user so to allow the user to NOT make stupid mistake if they don't want to.
Thank you !!
I think it's a normal way.
New and close layer button exists, and the window close button must close the window (and all the layers in).
And that's what K-Meleon does.
Unfortunately macros can't take care of this feature because the appplicable plugin commands aren't recognized quick enough when placed in the OnClose or OnQuit event macros, so I think it'll have to be coded.
Saw that the bug report was changed from K-M to plugin, does that mean this "feature" will always be us ?
No; it means that the affected component is not K-Meleon's core, but rather its Layers plugin, which controls the tab-like functionality.
See jsnj's reply above.
The problem isn't so simple. It may look like a plugin problem, but it's not !
The reason is, the plugin never get to launch before the entire browser closes, which means, if this problem is to be solved, it has to be hard-coded !
Can someone change the status on bugzilla to reflect the real situation, please ?
Thanks !

The status is correct. Even though some changes may have to be coded into the exe, it's still a layer plugin dependent request. So, the layers plugin and/or macros plugin might have to be altered too. BTW, RFE's don't get more attention based on whether they involve the exe or a plugin.
Use this forum to talk about a feature you're missing.
Clicking the "X" closes everything !
