Prefetch is already switched off, so the problem is somewhere else. It's a sort of general memory leak problem on many sites with Flash, and their number is growing. It's not just memory. Some Flash objects make K-M use 100% processor cycles, which slows down my entire computer. So we need a general method to stop K-M from choking on Flash: http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?4,

Some sites with Flash content that make my copy of K-Meleon freeze and/or crash: www.terrypratchett.co.uk/books apps.new.facebook.com/facebookshelf/ (after logging in) last.fm And Yahoo Groups recently added a Flash picture browser which makes K-Meleon hungr for dozens/hundreds of MB of RAM and causes it to freeze.

K-Meleon 1.5.2 on Windows XP When I play music on last.fm K-Meleon's memory usage goes through the roof. It looks like every track adds a few megabytes to K-M's memory consumption, so after a while it uses hundreds of megabytes and crashes. Is there a way to fix this?

The only way out is by killing K-M in the Windows Task Manager. Internet Explorer does not have this problem with these s

To make the macro work with K-Meleon v1.5 you have to edit it a bit. I added this to the shortcut macro page on http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/KmmShortcut : QuoteThis macro works OK on K-Meleon versions before version 1.5. If you have K-Meleon version 1.5, search the .kmm file for # K-Meleon 1.5, remove the # for the line right under it, and add a # to the line below # K-Meleon prior to 1

Thanx for trying to help the devil, but with your macro the error goes away and the macro won't create any shortcuts anymore. I found an easier way: there's a line that says: # K-Meleon 1.5: # $_len>$_max?&_Shortcut_Error$_len>$_max-4?exec($_cmd):&_Shortcut_Create); I removed the # to make it read: # K-Meleon 1.5: $_len>$_max?&_Shortcut_Error$_len

The shortcut macro on http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/KmmShortcut complains about an invalid statement in line 39 everytime I start K-M. It won't create desktop shortcuts anymore. Probably it's not compatible anymore with K-M 1.5. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanx!

Same problem with version Real Alternative version 6.0.12.1662. The only way to stop the page from crashing K-M is by uninstalling Real Alt., but that obviously defeats the purpose. Any other ways to solve this so I don't have to install that horrible official Real program?

I have 6.0.12.1739, so maybe that's the problem? Gonna check if I can dig up 6.0.12.1662 somewhere.

Everyone can use K-M. There's no need to attack all those config files with a text editor if you don't want to.

K-Meleons's homepage is not at all efficient.
Forum: Improvement requests

QuoteEugen MezeiMy understanding of KM is -correct me if I am wrong- that it was written to be a lightweight browser for older hardware. K-Meleon is not targeted at a single group. If you want K-Meleon to be a minimalist browser that can work on ancient hardware from the days of Windows 95, that's possible. If you want a luxury version of K-Meleon with all the bells and whistles, that'

kmeleon.sourceforge.net is not very inviting. Too many details that few people care about, not enough emphasis on the things that really matter. Making every other word a light blue link on a white background doesn't really help either: the homepage doesn't need to look like a Wikipedia entry. The current homepage sort of screams: "K-Meleon is a tool for geeks who code HTML in Not

I think I found the problem: Any URL that ends with a slash ("/") resists the "shortcut to desktop" macro.
Forum: General

url: http://openphoto.net/ error message: Unable to create shortcut - URL too long! http://openphoto.net/gallery/index.html?org_id=29 is longer, but the macro has no problem with this one! My copy of the macro (freshly re-copied from kmeleon.sourceforge.net) chokes in what looks like a random fashion, which has nothing to do with the length of the URL.

Oops! Spoke too soon. The macro still needs some cleaning up. The short URL http://www.freepops.org/en/ gives me a "URL too long" error.

Interestingly, if you right-click the links from the previous post you can send them to the desktop. The macro only fails when you right-click from within those pages. Would this difference get us a bit closer to a solution?

Any possibility of taming flash by other methods?
