Yes, but Netscape's about:cache does not seem as easy and reliable as
Arachne's cache index. (It's been a long time - years - since I used
Netscape to any extent, so my memory may be faulty).

Also a freeware CacheIndex program that works for Netscape, at least.
But I still prefer Arachne's. :)

Now that should be possible ! Could it not be an .APM or even piggy-backed
onto the hotkey Q function ? It really is one of the most useful
features of Opera. It means re-writing the internal links (URLs) to the
graphics locations on the fly, and saving all files to the same
location. I have done this slowly/manually many times for some pages that
are worth preserving as a resource - in my case as music files linked
from an HTML page full of information or sheet music, but each to his
own.
