How to create purge button in task manager

Post by Gator »

I have this working in chrome but can I do this in iron? in the target of iron there are quotes but not in chrome and when I try to add this... --purge-memory-button
I get this error...The name ... specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct. I have 18.0.1050.0 version

I don't get an error, but I also don't have the button.
I am in incognito mode. That may make a difference.
EDIT:
OPPS! My bad! I copied from a post above that has only one dash in front of the command. Adding the dash gave me the button in the Iron Task Manager.

Same error...this is how I have it, is it correct?
does this work only with certain builds?

"C:\Program Files\SRWare Iron\iron.exe"--enable-extensions --purge-memory-button

No. I used it with some of the 17's and forgot I had removed it for a test.
Yes, that is the proper format assuming you are on an 32 bit machine and not a 64bit that have a different path to the executable.
As in "C:\Program Files(X86)\SRWare Iron\iron.exe"--enable-extensions --purge-memory-button
Question> have you restarted the browser since you made the change to the shortcut? Dumb question I know, but I've seen it happen.

@ Gator

You are missing a space after .exe" before the two --, and there is only one dash before purge.

"C:\Program Files\SRWare Iron\iron.exe" --enable-extensions -purge-memory-button

mapx>>> Good catch! I looked at the users start string a number of times, and these 'old' tired eyes just flat missed the space omission. That's what I get for doing a copy and paste in the users post instead of going to my target box and doing it!
