Full save ignores comment tags
It would appear that doing a full save will save images even if their image tags have been commented out. Of course the comment delimiters will be left in the html. I also noticed that if two instances of the same image appear on a page using exactly the same URL, they are saved as two separate files. Netsurf saves the inventory so this could be avoided. Just wondering of this behaviour is a) deliberate and b) desirable? The reason is that I commented out some lines specifically to avoid getting duplicate images and it didn't work. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a user experience - I just want stuff that works.
Recent changes kybosh El Reg comments
I had this problem with the latest build. I tried to post a comment on The Register with post anonymously unticked and an icon selected. It came back with an error message Anonymous Cowards are not allowed to pick an image, the post anonymously box was ticked and a different (the last) icon was selected. Resubmitting with the tick box unticked and/or none selected produced exactly the same result. I tried again with release 2.9 and all was well. Is anyone else seeing this problem? -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a user experience - I just want stuff that works.

The reason is that I commented out some lines specifically to avoid getting duplicate images and it didn't work. A long while ago I wrote an application, FewerGif, for removing redundant gif files produced by TechWriter/EasiWriter when it exports a document to HTML (see http://www.wra1th.plus.com/sundry.html ). This could fairly easily be generalised to work for the results of a full save, with any kind of image. Whether it is worth the effort is another matter. FewerGif uses certain facts about Lua: a) files of any size can be loaded as strings and b) string comparison is very fast, being just a pointer-comparison. -- Gavin Wraith (ga...@wra1th.plus.com) Home page: http://www.wra1th.plus.com/
