I agree that'd be a nice thing to be able to do. I'm not
sure the current structure of HTTrack would make it easy
to add filters during a crawl (your request is basically
to add a new filter). (Xaviar, how practical is this
during a crawl? I think the new filter could be applied
to any URLs that are queued for scanning or queued for
download. Already downloaded links could be left alone,
at risk of making the copy a little bit inconsistent with
the filters until the next project update.)
Right now when I see HTTrack going too far, I cancel the
crawl, add the filter and then select "Continue
Interrupted Download". This is best method I know of for
the moment. | |
