New version for KM1.1 + newer: Click HERE
Notes: Old version for KM1.0
This macro introduces Internet Explorer's "Create Shortcut" feature into K-Meleon. It empowers you, to send the URL of the current page or frame or of a link quickly to your desktop as an Internet Shortcut to revisit it later. This is a valuable functionality when you find an interesting page that you don't want to read instantly, but in the near future. Or when you want to save an email address from a link to add it to your address book later. The shortcut on your desktop will remind you, whereas a bookmark is quickly forgotten...
Windows Script Host 1.0 (or better) required!
WSH is part of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and newer. Latest version of WSH is available in the Download Section of Microsoft's Scripting Homepage.
As an alternative to this very simple Windows Scripting solution (Shortcut.js), Alain Aupeix offers a compiled executable (WebShortcut.exe) with extended functionality. Have a look at his Page du K-Meleon.
Updates:
- 10-26-05
- Minor macro update. Link to Alain's website added.
- 10-19-05
- Shortcut.js updated to version 1.1 to take care of wyciwyg:// URLs. Macros improved to properly
work on pages that have no title. - 09-29-05
- Macros improved. LinkToDesktop now uses the link's text as shortcut name. FrameToDesktop
now uses the frame's title as shortcut name.
In your profile directory:
Open your profile directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\Profiles\<ProfileName>\<random>.slt). Create
a new text file there and paste the following:
/* Shortcut.js by kko, version 1.1
This script is a helper application for K-Meleon's macros.cfg that enables you to send
the URL of a page, frame or link to your desktop as an Internet Shortcut (*.url file).
Normal Shortcuts (*.lnk files) are generated for local resources.
