Hello I have a feature request.
How about displaying a warning when the selected file type does not support swatch names?

I mean when trying to save the file.

By default it asks me to save using the .pal format and whether it's 16 bit or 32 bit, that file type doesn't support swatch names. So when I opened it again, I lost all my swatch names.  :'(

WebCopy / Using query strings to constru...
Last post by crocket - August 18, 2023, 09:25:03 PM
I am trying to figure out how to add portions of the query string to the name of the file that is downloaded locally to my computer. I have added a list of URLs to my project and I am able to successfully download these files. The problem I have is that the files downloaded are named get_photo-1, get_photo-2, get_photo-3, etc...

I have tried a number of combinations in the General > Local Files section of the Project Properties, but either I am doing something wrong or I do not understand the purpose of this set of properties.

The Additional URLs that I have added are all unique and are all identical, except for the photo name. I am trying to include the unique .jpg name and the application_id in the name of each .jpg that is downloaded. This is an example of what the URLs look like..

https://test.site.com/api/v1/get_photo?filename=photo_f203144c-b817-4fb4-bd10-e0b1f97045ec.jpg&app_id=7840

https://test.site.com/api/v1/get_photo?filename=photo_4deda05d-56f2-4894-829c-7bb1e1ce3f6d.jpg&app_id=7900
https://test.site.com/api/v1/get_photo?filename=photo_2d57c78c-4ad5-455f-abbf-a4ba8a3cb3c2.jpg&app_id=7900

Can someone tell me what set of options must be selected to achieve this? 

Thanks!

This would be a very nice feature, and the opposite, to import rules from a plain text file.
Just saying, I know your time is short.

Thank you again for this great tool. I have created a set of rules for Wikis based on MediaWiki software, if you are interested I could post them or provide a link

greetings

i am currently using version 1.9.0.822
is there any news regarding the "-1" problem?
Currently I have the same problem although I have set the 3 settings from link on first post.
filename-1.typ and filename.typ files have same sha1 hash

if not, is it possible to get the function, if file exists locally (path\file) then the download should be skipped?

I figured it out!

It's embedding Internet Explorer, which is semi-hidden on Windows 7.

I closed WebCopy.

Then I brought up IE by right clicking on the desktop Start button, selecting Search, searching for "Internet Explorer"

That allowed me to run IE, and I cleared out the cookies, closed IE.

Now Capture Form works properly on WebCopy!

On the Capture Forms "browser" page, I logged into a website that I want to capture, now I can't log out to actually complete the Capture Forms process.

I can't clear cookies to stop the session, and I even uninstalled the program, then reinstalled it, and I'm still logged into the website.

Please help me stop the website's session so that I can complete the Capture Forms process.

The download stops immediately when I uncheck "download all resources". This is clearly not what I want.

What about an option "do not download any resources from external hosts"?

Thank you for your answer.

I guess I misunderstood this option. Now I have it unchecked and will see what happens.

Because I can't win.

If external links are excluded, then people complain that resources on CDN's aren't downloaded automatically.

If external links are included, then people complain that external links are being scanned.

As WebCopy has evolved, it tries to have a sensible set of defaults, and the sensible default in this pair is to assume that a user wants to copy linked resources. That means while it won't automatically download or crawl HTML on external sites, it will still try to get the content type in order to determine if it is a resource (such as your PDF) that it will download.

See the Downloading all resources setting for details - this controls whether external URLs are queried for their content type in order to download non-HTML

If there are certain domains you don't care about, then create rules to exclude them.
