My wish: To be able to save just the HTML file

2014-09-20 Thread Vesa Paatero

Hi,

My wish for Netsurf developers is a simple one: To be able to save just 
the HTML file of a web page with link references intact. Currently, 
Netsurf always saves the whole web page, i.e. the HTML file with links 
changed to point to the associated files saved into a directory 
automatically created for them. I imagine it would be relatively easy to 
enable saving just the HTML page, yet it currently can't be done ... or 
if it can be done, please let me know.


Thanks for considering it!

Vesa

Very easy to do:

f8  edit the html in StrongED of whatever editor you use.
f3  in StrongED: save the page.

I don't think anything needs to be done in NS!

You did not specify which toolkit you are using.

In RISCOS you can just use the menu or F3 to save the page
source.

With GTK you simply have to use Tools-Developer-Page Source (Ctrl+U)
and then save the file from there.

Other frontends depend upon their native implementations and I do not
know the specifics.

Perhaps we need to take a look at the user guide again it does seem to
be a little out of date in places.

Oh yes, by viewing page source and then saving. Thanks for the hint!

Yeah, no changes needed. And in case someone is still curious, my 
platform is Linux. :-)

That *is* relevant, because saving, etc, is handled by the frontend, 
which is tailored for the various platforms that Netsurf runs on.

Dunno about the kit you are using Jim, but with Pluto, we can examine the
header of the posting and tell...  ;-)
That said, I do know about the kit you are using...

Here's what you are using... Messenger-Pro/7.06-wpb4 (MsgServe/7.06S)
(RISC-OS/5.18)

Vesa is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64;
rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.0


We don't even need to examine the header, We can configure the Setups file
to automatically show the relevant header data.

Not being a user of RO MessPro I have no idea if it has any similar
configs.
