Ciao Mark S., TonyM & intererested cats

Mark S., whilst I'm sure its true that "saving" TW is no longer a pressing 
issue, I feel your "restore" (Nine-Lives ?) script very much to the point 
in that its a *properly univera*l method that shoulkd work with any modern 
browser.

I'm currently finishing up with a revised take on my previous DOS batch 
file---now converted to Powershell and much better integrated with your 
script.

An issue that has become clearer is the likely need for "modes" ... 

*MODES*

I think practically there may be three viable "run modes" which can be all 
acheived via *one *PS1 script ...

   - *"auto" *mode  -- This bahaves as your published script, basically as 
   it was when you released it. A effective loop of "check & restore."


   - *"once"* mode -- So you can run a "restore" once and exit. To enable 
   that in your script I added a sub-clause near its end ...

    if($mode -eq "once") {
      echo "  | $ninelives"
      echo "  |"
      echo "  | Run mode ""$mode"" completed!" 
      echo "  |"
      echo "  | Closes in $closeSeconds seconds ..."
      start-sleep -seconds $closeSeconds
      cls
      exit
    }

 

Much to my surprise I got it working. The command line launch string simply 
needs: "-run [option]" adding. For instance ...


 powershell -file .\tw_nine-lives_v01bTT.ps1 -executionpolicy bypass -run 
once


Works well. To garner it the *first* line of the PS1 script needs be ...


 param ([string]$run)


... to capture it.

 

I willl post the whole script soon so you can see it working.


   - *"menu"* mode -- so you can investigate what is going on, change 
   settings, get basic help (and also manually launch the script into "auto" 
   or "once" modes) ... here is what the "menu" looks like ...

    PowerShell: 5.1.17763.503
