Guess I should have tried it before sending the last message. iCab
didn't work. I also decided I'd try Firefox too but no luck there
either. So still open to ideas...
A further thought to archiving transfer: you can get the pics! But
it is a manual job that you might not have the patience or skill
for... You open the archives in IE, you do what I said in last post
re saving the source file. You screen capture all the pics you want
and save them to disk.
Actually, screen capture's not necessary.
In *any* browser on OS X, including IE (I just tested it), you can
click-and hold on a picture in a web page and drag it out of the
program onto the desktop, or into a folder on the desktop. That way
you get the actual image, since web pages can display an image at a
percentage of it's original size.
Certainly, if this works yes! But as it happens, on the two tests I
just made from an IE archived file, it did not work. None of my pic
prgms would open any of the files. Sure they were from an archived
web IE file?
I opend a web page, in this case, MSN.com, made a web archive of it.
"7956AB5CE1984B44F995EED3B52.jpg" (It's a picture from the depths of
MS'es web site)
I then opened the Web archive and dragged a picture to the desktop.
"7956AB5CE1984B44F995EED3B 2.jpg"
So yes, it does work and the pictures are properly labelled.
What are the pictures called when you drag them to your desktop?
(and, just as an aside, while we're talking about MicroCrap
programs...While I was writing the above, I got a notice that popped
up "Microsoft Word has just quit unexpectedly".
ALL it was doing was running. I had no file open, I wasn't working in
it, all it was doing was *sitting* there, running in the background.
What a POS.)
If you want, send me one of the archives, and I'll see what it comes
out as.
