| I've been trying to investigate the "index.html" / "Make an index" problem Tom
and I are having. I have discovered some things very odd.
1.
----------
Attempt to capture a website (I did www.tas.gov.au) with the following
options:
One filter: -*
"Make an index" ticked
What I am getting is the "C:\sites\project\index.html" file is corrupt -- a
merge of a generated HTTrack redirect and the actual page.
Untick "Make an index" and the single page is okay.
2.
---------
The file "C:\sites\index.html", which provides links to all the projects, was
corrupted recently (as described by Tom). I created a new project through the
normal methods and then it was magically fixed! It fixed before I even
started using my new project.
Okay, great, but then after I had completed using the new project, the file
above was corrupt again. The "Make an index" option appears to have no
bearing on this.
Also... if I simply open an existing project it will fix the file.
Question
------------
What is the function of "Make an index"? The tooltip says "Creates a start
page". Is this only for the project's index.html (eg,
c:\sites\project\index.html) (in case the project url is
www.site.com/page.htm)? Or is it also the project overview (eg,
c:\sites\index.html)?
My current solution
-----------
May be useful for you at least Tom: after you've done a capture, open it
again (double click .whtt and click Next, then Exit) and the list of projects
is repaired.
