@guenter Since you are an old ZA user I uploaded a White Paper from ZoneLabs. In case you didn't read it before, it might be of some interest. Interesting that the vast majority of ZA users never read this document although it was public. I recall there have been several threads on DSLR about ZA phoning home. One of them grew to an impressive lenght, untill it got closed. I digged for

I never used ZA so I can't answer your question. The best place to ask would be a ZA user forum. However if ZA never prompts for K-Meleon itself than either you have misconfigured your firewall or ZA is a trash can candidate.

Size matters but its priority is low. IMO there are far more important priorities to be taken into consideration. - Rendering: ability, quality, speed - Functionality (requirements may hugely differ among users) - Manageability - Usage of ressources - Size Since there is no perfect software, we end up sticking with what we think to be the best compromise, fitting best our needs

PDFxViewer is indeed a very fine choice. However those who just need a basic PDF viewer as fast as PDFxViewer while consuming less resources will opt for Foxit. My early FoxitViewer (slightly modified German flavor of v1.2 <grins>) has 800kb and consumes 6.068KB opening the same PDF which for PDFxViewer needs more than 20.000kb.

Someone could maybe try to rewrite the macro to promt FastStone Capture instead. v5.3 last freeware, works like a charm.

Are you sure you don't mix up the 'kplugins' folder with the 'plugins' folder? I never bothered to install the Shockwave package. NPSWF32.dll is all you need to watch .SWF files. I always only extract the NPSWF32.dll from the Shockwave install package and place it into K-Meleon's 'plugins' folder. The same applies for FlashPlayer.exe (which you can place w

QuoteguenterUsers that have no administrator privileges automatically have writing rights in %apdata%. So K-Meleon default Profiles folder was relocated to from ./K-Meleon/Profiles/ Folder to %apdata%/K-Meleon/Profiles. Many PPL do not know how to set writing privileges. I see. That makes sense. Now I get the logic of your statement BTW, this applies to other browsers like Opera as well.

Quoteguenterp.s. Also use Multi User Support on install. That is default and good for 2000/XP/Vista. I don't put a question mark against but I simply can't get the logic. (Du kannst es mir auch auf deutsch erklären wieso.) I always use the single user option (K-Meleon, Opera on NT 5.0) and never had problems so far.

Albeit the fix works (thx) it wouldn't hurt to update the install package (e.g. to 1.5.2.1) soon since likely not all K-M users are also regulars of this forum.

Quoteplasmapelz It helps right now, but I still think that it should be part of base Kmeleon, not just a plugin. Plugins are for features that some people use, but features that (almost?) everybody uses should always be part of the base package. The point is that not everybody would use that feature. If any feature that somebody might use would be added to the base package, K-Meleon would end

Thanks misterp for looking into. At least a minor consolation that I'm not the only one I might be wrong but as far as I can see, with no charset specified, opening a locally stored page, Western(ISO-8859-1) gets applied. This might cause my problem. However wonder how it works for other people.
