| These are the two emails I attempted to send...
Hello Xavier,
I really like your program... and the ideals behind it with
the GNU backing.
I had an idea, and I don't know if it is actually
feasible... but here goes.
What would be a nice addition for httrack is the ability to
have a separate
program serve as a proprietary browser for HTTrack... that
is not to say that
the files should be limited to the browser... just that it
would be nice to
have a browser that...
... would display what is in the cache for a saved webpage
offline... and not
attempt to connect to the internet to get that outside ad...
...Can let you edit files out without degrading links... or
allows the person
to reassign the link to another page... or reassign it to a
completely
different offline directory... so that a person can assign
the link to one of
their other directories.... such as for example... I
downloaded a certain
site... yet found much of its content was under a different
URL... It would be
nice to link these two together so that they flow rather
than attempt to search
for it...
...also would be nice if it allows you to do a batch print
within a selected
directory... with full selection of which files are
actually printed..
... and finally... the ability to search the pages of that
offline website as
you would be able to on the online website... and search it
based on
relevancy... and search it with many options... like most
forum searches
allow... to make it more relevant. Sort of like the forum
searches of Mogusland
forums...
Also... it would be nice to be able to que up more than one
offline directory
for this search. I am in the process of making a free
downloadable html-based
newsletter... and would like to see the person be able to
que up issues 1-10
and search them all for reference.
It would be nice as a separate program as it would probably
be smaller and more
easily downloadable... and hopefully make a person want to
read my newsletter
instead of passing it up. This is just the way I see it
however.
Well... that is all I've got... maybe a program that does
all of this exists
already and I haven't found it yet... so sorry if that is
the case. I'm not a
programmer, so I can't help you there... but I will be
donating shortly...
right now... all I can give you is ideas... and I'm sure
you thought of or had
heard of a few of them before... but I had to throw them
out here just in case.
Thanks for your time and for this fine program you've
already created,
Anthony Quinn
I must correct what I wrote, and say that I do not mean
proprietary... but
primary... just a program that fits httrack like a glove...
but still of course
support the ability for the other browsers.
I think that is closer to what I mean.
Talk to you later,
Anthony Quinn
