I have a suggestion for it. It should have an option to do a hard refresh (thereby being able to reload a site even when its having trouble).

There is already "Continous Reload" for the K-Meleon Browser without a "Continous Reload" macro.

Right Click on the refresh button and click on "Continous Reload" works in K-Meleon without a "Continous Reload" macro

Right Click while the arrow pointer is hoverng above above a webpage, Next select Reloading on the "Conrext Menu" And then click "Continous Reload" also works in K-Meleon without a "Continous Reload" macro.

It uses a macro to do that. Its filename is reload.kmm in \macros. I'm just wanting to have a toggle for a normal/hard refresh added to it.

I think "Force Reload" is a hard refresh

Becuase "Force Reload" can be performed just by pressing down the two keys CTRL+F5. A Toogle would be pointless for "Force Reload"

It must be done without javascript. This is possible (with some limitations) but I need to fix some things first.

What limitations are there?

Less than I thought at first.

Here a first implementation with the update I've just posted for RC75.

Reload2_Timer{
id(navReload);
}

Reload2_Start{
  $Reload2_duration = $ARG;
  if (5>$Reload2_duration)
  {
    $__pre=getpref(INT,$_Reload_Interval);
    $Reload2_duration=prompt(_("Enter number of seconds between reloads:"),_("Continuous Reload"),$__pre);
    setpref(INT,$_Reload_Interval,$Reload2_duration); 
  }
  if (4<$Reload2_duration) 
    settimer("Reload2_Timer", $Reload2_duration, "continuous");
  else
    alert("Interval can't be less than 5 seconds");
}

Reload2_Stop{
# Stop timers for the current tab
# This kill all timers, not just reload
  killtimer();
}

_Reload2_BuildMenu{
  $__r="Reloa&ding";
  setmenu($__r,macro,"&Hard Continuous Reload...",Reload2_Start);
  setmenu($__r,macro,"&Stop Continuous Reload",Reload2_Stop);
}

$OnInit=$OnInit."_Reload2_BuildMenu;";

But currently there is no timer indication.

New macro commands for 75, great!

Just wondering what exactly a "hard" reload means? Was assuming it meant force-reload (id navForceReload), but now unsure.

Where's the "new update" at?

How would you go about implementing it?

Put the attached file in your macros folder. It adds 2 new menu item in the reoload menu.

It means nothing. It's just how Zero3K named it, doing the reload with kmeleon and not with js.

I think it has a bug in it because it stops working after being active for a while.

Does it work again if you reactive it or you need to restart?

I usually just restart it when it stops working.

It turns out that it only works for the first 10 tabs it is applied to. The 11th, etc. ones aren't being affected by it.

How many reloading tabs do you need usually?

Right now, 14 tabs. I think that there shouldn't be a max on the number of them.

Is it fixable or not?

I can't speak for Dorian, but it likely is possible to fix. It might become a matter of the resources required. If ten is possible now, twenty should be also if one wants to commit twice as many counters, variables, etc. all the time.

It might be prudent to have a pref which could default to ten but allow the user to set to higher number. Setting to a higher number would commit the user's KM to need more resources.

This will be fixed, but there will still be a limit, you don't want a buggy macro to be able to create ton of timers.

Ok. That makes sense.
