Test for KM 1.6:

$INTVERSION=iniread("Version","LastVersion","",getfolder(ProfileFolder)."\\version.ini");
$_k=injectJS("(function(){var x=(".$INTVERSION.").toString(16);return(x.substr(0,1)+'.'+parseInt(x.substr(1,2),0)+'.'+parseInt(x.substr(3,7),0))})()");

It works, cool. Things can be so easy with expert skills :cool:
Assuming it will also work in 76?

Still working at finishing that macro, but while you're here:
Adding Favorites (IE) still has a prehistoric GUI as far as I know (been awhile that I last tested on a 7X beta), tossing everything into a fix "new folder". Years ago James and I struggled mighty with workarounds with helper macros, but they have the prob that there's no real refresh-menu command. Any chance that could be added?
Of course, updating the Fav plugin with a better GUI too would be yet better.
And actually I've always liked most an ancient Favorites macro, that uses a wscript or something that calls the native IE dialog for adding new Favorites. Had rewritten and extended it to my likes.
The prob is, it only works on my old system here, but 'modern' Vista refused it, no permission Perhaps you know an easy solution too...?

Heh,
siria - here my new stuff goes!

Look: there was even an example of creating URL routine.

so this command

exec($CHPpath." ".$NIRpath." urlshortcut \"http://www.nirsoft.net\" \"~$folder.favorites$\" \"NirSoft\" ");

will create URL-shortcut to NirSoft homepage in Favorites folder.

And you know how to get URL and TITLE for current page! ;-)

May be, but am just not a fan of needing external tools. Would rather have it all done 'internally'...

Ah sorry, and yet another old struggle:
Sometimes in macros I needed to transfer long text strings (whole pages) between macro-vars and injectJS back and forth and back again, for example for regex-replacements etc., but kept running into probs with special characters being treated as syntax by JS. Again, struggled FOREVER with trying to escape them one by one, due to JS and my genes not being compatible at all, and lost hundreds of gray hairs In the end it somehow worked, but probably just luck and not reliable. Not sure if possible, but if macrolanguage could get a solution for this somehow that would be great too.

Another old prob (sigh, so many), sometimes in macros I'd like to show some var-text in a new empty browser page, but without saving it to disk first (or at least only to a cache folder). In older KM versions it worked with opening a new tab and injecting "document.write" (if I remember right? And possibly the "new tab" had to be created by JS too, and that required again popup permission, and...) But in 7X-betas there were again new stupid permission probs. Another endless struggle, and really can't remember the outcome anymore, but anyway. Such a function is on my macrolanguage-wishlist too :cool:

The permissions problems are with the OS, not K-meleon.

Yes am aware, but not sure if that necessarily means there are no workarounds at all possible. FF addons can do all sorts of stuff that is forbidden to normal macros.

Just remembered: my old Favinia macro writes them too, anywhere, all by itself Simple little text files like ini's. No external tools needed at all.
Just no idea if it still works flawlessly on highly complicated modern systems/geckos. But anyway, for now have given up struggling too much with those, way over my head, and own machines.
As for using this method to add favorites, am doing that when saving one directly into a folder 'outside' IE faves. Or when saving "all open tabs" into a Fav folder (which must already exist before). While for inside-additions the native GUI is nicer. And both methods just don't update the KM-Fav-menu. The refresh-workaround of others with first adding a fake using the Fav-plugin and then deleting this one again, is too 'hot' for my skills, the last thing I'd want to risk is accidentally deleting something wrong.

Test for KM 1.5.21, KM 1.6.x and KM 76.x:

(Popup included for injectJS_v1.5 without return.)
injectJS("(function(){var x=(".$INTVERSION.").toString(16);if(x.substr(0,1)==2){x=((parseInt(x.substr(0,1),0)+5)+''+(parseInt(x.substr(1,2),0)+3)+'.'+parseInt(x.substr(3,7),0))}else{x=(x.substr(0,1)+'.'+parseInt(x.substr(1,2),0)+'.'+parseInt(x.substr(3,7),0));}x='K-Meleon Version: '+x;alert(x);})()");

Anyone have me some version numbers for 74, 75, 75.1 handy?

@rodocop
thanks, and is there anything unique in your Pro versions, that a macro could check via readfile perhaps? If a certain file exists, or a certain text inside? In readme? A pref? A skin pic? Or could also be something in omni.ja.

Almost nothing.
Nothing what could be read through macro.

Just small kmeleonMain.js in components inside omni.ja

But reading platform.ini edited from now according to your advice will be enough to separate Pro-build from official one.



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/17/2017 08:18PM by rodocop.

Yeah but that platform.ini is not official, will only work in this macro.
There are also the titles in readme.html, and the vendor-pref.

Can macros really not read omni.ja? Have no idea, but don't wanna give up without at least a little test ;-)
The test file is a normal one that should exist in official KM too:

testmacro_omnija{
# KM-PRO: \\components\\KmeleonMain.js");
$_x=readfile(getfolder(RootFolder)."\\browser\\components\\kmHelper.manifest");
$_x=="" ? $_y="v2:" : $_y="v1:";
$_x==""? $_x=readfile(getfolder(RootFolder)."\\browser\\omni.ja\\components\\kmHelper.manifest") : 0;
$_x=="" ? $_x="cannot read :-(" : $_x=substr($_x,0,500)." (....)";
alert($_y."\n".$_x,"File kmHelper.manifest in omni.ja:",INFO);
}

testmacro_omnija_BuildMenu{
setmenu(KMDocs,macro,"Troubleshooting: test file in OMNI.JA",testmacro_omnija);
}
$OnInit=$OnInit."testmacro_omnija_BuildMenu;";

Macros surely can - as that 'resource://' URL is pointed inside root of omni.ja exactly!

LOL! Just the last days have I looked at that resource-stuff again - and now already forgotten!

No idea what I'm doing wrong, but just cannot read it
Tested in KM1.6 with existing default files.
But neither any URLs starting with resource:/// nor resource:\\ don't work, nor reading from inside a jar file, like getfolder(RootFolder)."\\chrome\\kmprefs\\locale\\en-US\\contents.rdf"

OFFTOPIC MODE ON
---------------------
Today I was also stupid - and presenting the extension which was the first use of new KMM_TASK_LOGIC tool I've simply forgotten to add that exe into 7z-package!!!

Now my mistake is fixed, but...

But this isn't the greatest illustration however!
One russian user (she's a lady, wow-wow-wow! But I'm not sexist, you know ) tried to install that extension and she got BIG TROUBLE.

Empty KM window (no toolbars, menus - no any chrome at all!) XML-errors and full breakage!

She said it gets so after installing my extension. I questioned her deeply and finally she described me how she proceeded there:

"I deleted folders browser, kmextensions, locales, macros, skins, tools from K-Meleon and replaced them with ones from extension - so then I got this! 3 times!!!"

I was hardly able to write a word in answer! ;-)

So, again - nobody is perfect.

But this is someone I'd most warmly recommand one of the fully automatic big player browsers

Regarding the macro, am a bit stuck - due to that version circus that cute little puppy macro has grown into a Bernhardiner dog, oh my... at the moment a big mess, which does work, but not happy yet with its clumsiness and looks.
Anyway, attached below is the latest version v6 for checking.
At the moment also contains a second menuline if anyone is curious about converting any copied version-ini number from hex to dec format. Will hide that later again in the final (??) version.

Well, I wouldn't agree this time - this is an example of IDEAL potentially loyal user of K-Meleon.

She tried number of times!
She regged on forum for help!
She was waiting about 2 weeks for solution.

And finally she installed KM for 2 older people! Ready evangelist of our project!

Moreover: without her appearance there on forum I will never (most likely) create such an extension! And her feedback forced me to check things and find my own STUPID mistake!!!

I respect her as much as I can!

Anyway, attached BELOW is the latest version v6 for checking.

Tested and being thinking about end-user usability made 2 quick changes (lines 73-78):

if (confirm($_x."\n\n        =====  Show more ? =====","V5 - Check current settings  (Text copied to clipboard):",OKCANCEL,INFO)=="OK") {  $_x="";
	opennew("about:");
	opentab("about:config");
	opentab("about:permissions");
	opentab("about:addons");
	opennew("chrome://console2/content/console2.xul");

1) Now all new helper tabs open in new window (they can be easily lost in current windows with dozens of tabs - and I do 'lost' them!)
2) Error Console also opens in it's own window as otherwise it resizes all the browser to its small size and user get lost again - what the hell is going on?!

Now it looks much better! ;-)

Also changed V5 to V6 and some strings:





Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/18/2017 02:11AM by rodocop.

Thanks, will consider.
But you caught the old version again, from first post, instead of the one at the LAST post directly. v6 was already in my download correct :cool:

The new ini-numbers you both posted convert to weird decimals:
1.6.0000 .... 3.0.0000 .... 4.(notanumber). ..... Uh oh *scratchhead*

Fred uploaded dozens of packages using parts of newest Geckos. Package names contain S for Seamonkey or F for Firefox. He updated timestamps and added his varying custom configurations.

@siria
Macros kplugin has no library to read compressed files and the basic "readfile" command only reads text from filesystem.

While opening my older KM versions again one of my pet error messages showed up again:
"Call to the undefined macro"! Grmpf.
Always wished it had the kindness to reveal also WHICH one exactly, sigh.

Ok, thanks for explaining.

Rodocop, please please please remove that UA file from omni.ja? :cool:
You can test if it still works (99%?) or not after moving it into browser/components/... as single file. And if a less misleading name would work too...

@siria
"Call to the undefined macro"
Never wrote a macro causing this error, but you can paste yours.
It would be nice to see how it was fixed in 2.x versions.

You can use injectJS to access omni.ja and create a popup showing what is requested.

The undefined macro: this always happens when there's a typo in a macro name, which is called by another.
Was it ever fixed? When I wrote "in my older versions" it just meant that "currently" there's no name typo in my active macros. It's hard enough figuring it out in a new in-the-works macro that contains dozends of submacros, but at least I'd be aware at which one I'm currently working, and it didn't produce this error an hour earlier yet. But in those older KM versions I wouldn't even know where to start searching, could be in ALL kmm macros, so would first have to disable half of them for testing.

callmacroone{
&callmacro2;
}
callmacrotwo{
$_x="test";
}

_callmacro_BuildMenu{
setmenu("&Help",macro,"Call macro1 (no error at all)","callmacro1",0);
setmenu("&Help",macro,"Call macroone-macro2 (error undefined)","callmacroone",1);
}
$OnInit=$OnInit."_callmacro_BuildMenu;";

----------
UPDATE:
simply check or create that pref and suddenly that error WILL show the LINE numbers causing it!!
kmeleon.plugins.macros.debug = true

How's that injectJS done with omni.ja?



Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 11/25/2017 07:07AM by siria.

@siria
Your example works perfect.
The name of the invalid macro call was missing in "EvalError" at line 333.

Something in browser/omni.ja of 76RC:

$mypath="chrome://kmprefs/content/contents.rdf";
injectJS("(function(){var rX=new XMLHttpRequest();rX.open('GET','".$mypath."',true);rX.onreadystatechange=function(){if(rX.readyState===4){if(rX.status===200||rX.status==0){var rT=rX.responseText;alert(rT);}}};rX.send(null);})();");
