Maxthon problem/question - tabs saving


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I have a question/problem with Maxthon..

Where are the last opened tabs/browser windows in Maxthon saved/backuped?

(like Opera it does..)

How can I access them and how can I reopen all the tabs in Maxthon?

Is there a way to bring them back, or doesn't backup Maxthon this session-files of opened tabs??!

thx and best regards,

iNsuRRecTiON

Hmm.. Your last 15 closed tabs are saved in Program Files\Maxthon\Config\Dynamic.ini ..

You can reopen the last closed tab by pressing Undo Button .. If its not visible, you can bring it back by View > Toolbar > Customize menu ..

You can also configure Maxthon to reopen last closed session when you start it ..

Options > Maxthon Options > Start Page > Resume Last visited pages ..

abc@home is a Pro in Maxthon !! You should have a look at his plugin collection in the Plugin section of Maxthon Forum ..

And btw . .. Maxthon 1.5 is released today .. Download from DownloadHosting as MajorGeek and Download.com links arent updated as yet ..

Have a look at User Faqs and Custom Start page .. :)

Hey,

thx, ok, but now its too late :(

As standard Maxthon defines 15, thats too low :( *cry*

I had 20-25 open tabs, but now I have only access to the last 15 :(

Where does Maxthon stores it configuration files, etc.?

Only in the main program folder or any files in document and settings?

Is there a hope that I get these tabs back? -.-

Please help me, why Maxthon backup such important session files (of last opened tabs/browser windows, etc.), like it Opera does?!! :(

I thought Maxthon ask me again, if I click on cancel (for the question, whether I want to open the tabs from the last session again..), but next startup time there is all gone and no question from Maxthon for these tabs :(

Avant Browser do it better, they ask you every time you restart Avant, whether you want to open the last opened tabs, until you click on the checkbox "Don't ask me again, or don't show this again..".

Even if you click on cancel..

So there are only one cpg file, Maxthon.cpg, but without any url entry/tab entry :(

And the last 15 tabs are too few, I want all back, so please help, thx again..

best regards,

Hey,

ok, but if I can't get back these tabs/opened browser windows, I will never use Maxthon again!

As I already say, I will use better Avant instead, because they use the last session opened tabs carefully and don't let it all gone :(

bye

Have you considered looking in your history, or have you cleared it since then?

Hey,

too much of work, the history is too huge!

It requieres hours to find my websites in this history and the history of IE is bad, because not all websites are shown there..

And every day there will be more and more history entries and the history filter function is very bad!

Dynamic.ini inside the config folder. To backup all user data, you can backup the config folder and the group folder.

Unfortunately no. Maxthon does not keep a separate history and so the last opened tabs are kept only for one section.

You do know there is a search feature in Maxthon for the History?

lool?

for what shall I search for?

I don't remember the most of the 20-25 opened tabs, so I need them back, I can't search for what I don't know/remember!

thx and best regards,

So, as you say that, Maxthon saves every open browser tab in Maxthon when shutting down Maxthon in the dynamic.ini file?

So nothing is stored elsewhere or in the registry?

So I have to look into the dynamic.ini file for all the URLs of the last opened and automatically saved tabs in Maxthon?

I ask because I thought, only the last 15 opened urls are stored in dynamic.ini file, but you say all is stored therein..

Note, Maxthon offers you the option at exit, to save all opened tabs browser windows (urls of them) and ask you to reopen them at the next startup of maxthon..(and these info are stored into the dynamic.ini, too..?!)

thx and best regards,

In history there is only the filtering of: today, last week and 2 weeks ago available, nothing more and so, its very difficult to find my 20-25 opened tabs..

And in addition if I click on "last week" nothing happens, no entry is shown, but if I click on 2 weeks ago, thousend, ok maybe hundred entries are shown.. -.-

When you close maxthon, all opened tabs are automatically stored in dynamic.ini under [LastVisit]. This is good for the next time you start maxthon.

But in the exit confirmation dialog, you have another option to save the opened tabs as a Group permanently. Groups are stored in cgp files inside the Groups folder. You can open any Group or any individual url in a Group from maxthon's Groups menu.

Hey,

ok, but now the section [LastVisit] is gone and I have already scanned/searched with an forensic tool, but I found nothing :(

Do you have any tip for me, how I can get those URLs/TABs?

thx and best regards,

It could be a little easier to find the pages back from IE history with IEhistoryView.

    • People who don't know how to use a computer to its fullest genuinely fascinate me. Nope, not at all. Either you get it or you don't. Not getting it is not a good reason to speak out.
    • I could not agree more with this article. Except on Linux. I use Windows for functionality first and foremost. Microsoft seems hell bent on removing functionality, though they try to appeal by adding a few new tricks, and re-instating some old tricks. Windows 11 is the Windows that NOBODY asked for. I'll accept that Windows 10 was getting long in the tooth on looks. So, why didn't Microsoft just offer some kind of new skin that you could take or leave? Instead they forced a change that has been extremely hard to swallow for far too many folks in my opinion. I'm 100% on Windows 11 now, but I do take some time to hack the registry a bit to bring back things like the real context menu and some sound controls. Heck, I've considered moving to Apple over this. If I really want functionality hindering OSes, that seems like a better choice at times than Windows 11. Linux still hits me as a toy OS. Great choice for my retro arcade cabinet, but not much else. Everyone says, "wait for Windows 12", but I'm getting tired of waiting for a fully working OS that doesn't destroy my ability to do things day after day. Even more so with updates, which I've always been a fan of updates, but now I see the light in the stupidity that Microsoft unleashes on unsuspecting users. Heaven forbid I want to continue to use Bluetooth as 24H2 destroyed the comm drivers for most of my machines. Had to buy USB dongles to get Bluetooth back. And, Copilot is neat, but not sure why Microsoft feels they need to force feed it to everyone with no recourse for removal. I'm sticking around for now, but my days are numbered as a Microsoft supporter if they continue down the path of insanity they currently are travelling.

    • This super-powerful GaN charger with four ports is 50% off by Taras Buria Some time ago, I reviewed the Cuktech 10, a powerful 100W GaN charger with three ports. It left positive impressions, and since then, it has served me as my primary charger for my phone, watch, laptop, and tablet. Recently, Cuktech offered me the opportunity to take a look at the model 15, a more powerful 140W GaN charger, this time, with four ports. Right now, this powerful charger is available with a massive discount at just $50.99 (with coupon applied). The Cuktech 15 is the same as the Cuktech 10, just slightly bigger, more powerful, and with one extra port. It has a light metallic finish, but overall, it retains the brand's identity and features. The four ports are well spaced out, and the black plastic insert with a cyan rim has a ribbed texture for better grips. Although I live in Europe, Cuktech sent me a US variant with a retractable plug. Okay, I guess. The ability to retract the plug makes it extra portable, which is nice. A high-power 240W five-foot cable is also included. The charger measures 3.11 x 2.56 x 1.26 inches and weighs 0.737 lbs. The Cuktech 15 has four ports: two high-power Type-C ports, one Type-C port with a lower output, and one Type-A port. The first two Type-C ports can deliver a full 140W in single-port mode (PD 3.1 supported), which is nice—no asterisk or caveats here with combined power or something. If you need the full 140W for one device, you get it. Ports are capable of working in the following modes: Single-port Type-C1 / C2: 140W max 5V 2A, 5V 3A, 9V 3A, 11V 6.1A, 12V 3A, 15V 3A, 20V 5A, 28V 5A Type-C3: 33W max 5V 2A, 5V 2.4A, 9V 2A, 12V 1.5A, 11V 3A Type-A: 18W max 5V 2A, 5V 3A, 9V 2A, 12V 1.5A Multi-Port Type-C1 + C2: 100W + 33W or 65W + 65W Type-C1/C2 + Type-C3: 100W + 33W Type-C1/C2 + Type-A: 100W + 18W Type-C1 + Type-C2 + Type-C3: 65W + 60W + 7.5W or 45W + 45W + 18W Type-C1 + Type-C2 + Type-C3 + Type-A: 65W + 60W + 7.5W As you can see, the charger is pretty robust, and it can power two pretty powerful laptops at once and even have enough oomph to charge a smartphone, albeit at a lower power. Another thing worth mentioning is that the Cuktech 15 delivers "clean" power with pretty low pulsations at about 25-50 mV. The rule of thumb is that the lower the pulsations, the better the charger is for your device's battery health. In this area, Cuktech's charger does not disappoint, and they deliver way better results than 100 mV, which is considered a standard for a good charger. Cuktech uses gallium nitride technology, which enables smaller, more powerful and efficient charging. Speaking of efficiency, the charger is rated for 78% average or 64% at a 10% load. When charging at 120W, I received an average of 80-85%, which is good. Of course, when charging at peak power, it gets hot, but not too much. The Cuktech 15 140W usually costs $99.99, which is undoubtedly not cheap. However, right now, you can get it for half the price, which is a very good deal, considering you get a high-quality charger with plenty of ports and very high power output. Like with the Cuktech 10, you cannot go wrong with this one. CUKTECH 15 140W four-port GaN charger - $50.99 | 30% off + a 20% off coupon As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
