Tiny macro "aboutabout" to add "about:addons" etc. to menu

I think there are already a few macros out there to add some "about:" pages to the menu, but couldn't resist and here's yet another one smiling smiley

Attention:
Those are just the native Mozilla sheets, which come as part of the gecko/goanna engine, but not everything which works in Firefox was fully adopted in K-Meleon too. That means not everything works fully as expected, some pages are missing completely, especially in older KM-versions, other pages work only partly, and even if a page looks fine, it can still be buggy. Therefore have added some "?" in the names.



You can customize everything in that menu, change names, line positions, add more or show less lines, if you're not scared of editing text configs :cool:

Installation: Drop the attached kmm file into the macros folder and restart.
Uninstall: Remove the file from macros folder again (no traces left)

MACRO v2:

(only added about:profiles)

Tiny update to version 2: added "about:profiles"

Not sure which functions meanwhile work fully or partly in latest KM-Goanna, hence the "?". In old KM1.x most of those pages didn't work at all, but since KM74 more and more got fixed, incl. buggy translations.

Of course this tiny macro is still just a draft, to have at least *something* to open those many important functions, for users unaware they even exist. The final goal is to use the same menu structure as Firefox&Co, but am personally not familiar with it. Which line goes into which parent menu, and what are the usual names? Any volunteers? :cool:

Recently I defined a new profile. When in that profile, and when clicking for example a link to a pdf file, I am not being asked whether to open or save it, although in Preferences/File Handling both "Offer to save the file" and "Ask whether to open or save the file" are checked. The save dialog appears, without any questions.
When I reactivate my previous profile then everything is as expected again.

You can manage them better through about:preferences url.
Most of the times might works better if you just remove the file type mime definition than setting a preference (ask, download).

Wow! I was completely unaware of that. Thank you very much!

Yeah it's too bad. Age old GUI bugs never fixed, and meanwhile there are even better working alternatives, using native engine functions, but no one will find them without any GUI. Nor a bunch of other most important functions, not even about:addons sad smiley GUI matters for browser survival very much too.

Thanks siria!

I was not aware of this macro either.

Many forums around here. Learning all the time. It is really sad, that K-M lacks core developers.
