QuoteSlickone ^^ Thanks a lot, foliator. You're welcome! Quote...the startupCache and Cache folders didn't get recreated after running KM, which is good I guess. If you mean the main Cache folder, that's surprising, especially if you still have disk caching enabled. The browser is bound to look for a place to store the cache files.

Quotesiria Interesting solution, with bat file I used what's known as the "brute force method".

If they get reset and still filled, next try: delete them and create a file with their name, setting those files write-protected? Well, folders can be filled whe

QuoteSlickone So I can safely delete the Cache, cache2, and OfflineCache folders? Anyone up to building a macro to delete the cache2/entries files? I'm not sure that you can delete them while KM is running, and it would have to be running for the macro to work. Instead the folders and files should be removed after you exit KM, but the process can be automated, as I've done in the

QuoteSlickone Why does clearing disc cache in F2 not clear the files in cache2\entries? My guess is that the browser's cache clearing feature is still unaware of the changes to the new cache system, which uses cache2 if it's enabled by the user. QuoteCan I delete these? How do I prevent so many in the future? They go back to November. Not a big deal, but can any of the many thou

Regarding the cache2 folder, I just found this blog discussion, which may shed some light on that folder's function: http://www.janbambas.cz/mozilla-firefox-new-http-cache-is-live It doesn't apply to me, however, or anyone else who has disabled disk caching.

Quotesiria Now from the description with the 0-F folders that must be the hexadecimal system, similar as used for color names (#AABBCC), with 16 characters 0-F. It's like having a single folder for A-Z, with each containing A-Z subfolders again, and each of those containing their own A-Z subfolders again, only with an alphabet of 16 instead of 26 characters. All in all as many folders as col

Quoterodocop These are engine-related cache folders. Mozilla preconfigures place for cache files as well as for history (file places.sqlite). You can avoid them if you have broadband connection - just switch disk cache off and then delete cache folders in file manager (not from KM itself). That's what I've been doing, but the Cache2 folder gets recreated on startup. It always stays

Quoteanontemp123 So there are mystique 'internal macros' then?

In looking at its contents, I think it coordinates various functions of the other macros. For

The easiest way, at least for me, is to assign a shortcut key to the macro by editing accel.cfg in my profile. Example: ALT VK_SPACE = macros(ToggleJC) That macro toggles both JavaScript and Cookies, then reloads the page. The VK_ prefix is for a virtual (non-alphanumeric) key. Alphanumeric keys are simpler and can be written like this: ALT J = macros(ToggleJS) ALT C = macros(ToggleC

What gave me the idea for forward slashes was their use in URLs, at least in Mozilla-based browsers. As far as I know, only Internet Explorer recognizes backslashes in URLs.
