Subject: Make an index - very odd

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.
