ArcticFoxie/NotHereToPlayGames -- 360Chrome v13.5.2022 rebuild 3

[verta]

 

Hi,

I am looking for the answers to the following questions.

Is there a way to add the -, + Tab to the MENU dropdown list to change the zoom on a site you're viewing without going to the settings/advanced page?

Like: 

How do I configure the browser to not allow restore saved tabs on a system crash?

thanks.

For page zoom, just hold the Ctrl keyboard key down and hit the numpad + or - key and that will zoom that tab in or out.

So you want to SAVE TABS with a normal exit but NOT save tabs on a system crash?

I am seeing a method to perform this.  But it isn't exactly for the "average" user.

There is a file called "Local State" in the User Data folder.

A "normal exit" is on the left.  A "browser crash" is on the right.  Note also that there are "system crash" variables also in this file but I did not "force" a SYSTEM crash to witness these variables, I only forced a BROWSER crash.

Yes I do NOT want to save tabs on a system crash.

I did not know you can save tabs on a normal EXIT.

I agree this is advanced for an average user.

Is it possible to add checkbox configuration in SETTINGS based on these variables.

Save Tabs on EXIT: checkbox "true/false"

Save Tabs on CRASH: checkbox "true/false"

This would be a nice feature to have for the average user. It also much easier in case the user changes their mind for these settings. 

If it is possible, I would need a walkthrough on how to do it, being an average user. =)

Already in the settings.

 

But make sure you are not clearing cache and cookies on exit.  Which means also to not use the loader .ini file to delete session content either.

Not possible.

A new loader could be compiled that parses the Local State file and clears session-restore tabs in the event of a crash flag.

But I save that project for somebody else to pick up.

Same settings.

If those three options are checked, then the loader, loader.ini will not delete session content.

So unchecking those will allow the deleting of those three circled options and more?

If this is true it might explain why tabs were saved during a system crash.

I have an Users Profile Setting inquiry.

----------------------------------------------------

Parameters=--user-data-dir="%Profile%"

If I change the above line in loader.ini to :

Parameters=--user-data-dir="%HOMEPATH%\Application Data\360\%Profile%"

Is there anything else I need to change to keep the users profile in their account?

DCBrowser save tabs on crash...restore the precedent session (dialog box popups..)

Yes, but @verta is talking about doing it with 360Chrome v13.5 Build 2022, not DC Browser.

[msfntor]

Sure Mina, DCBrowser story is off-topic...

[NotHereToPlayGames]

360Chrome DOES SAVE TABS ON CRASH.

For some seasonal fun  --  https://www.dropbox.com/s/tuaz0t1i48ac77l/newtab.zip?dl=1

Place in same directory as "chrome.dll", "options.zip", "resources.pak", et cetera.

Now a random Christmas Scene will load for all New Tab pages (assuming you use chrome://newtab/ for new tabs or on startup).

16 images (all from wallpapers.com) are stored within the .zip, no images are fetched externally.

Thanks! Although that Christmas Scene in your screenshot looks creepy, I'm fine with it, lol.
