by Firefox user 13523201, 7 years agoTwice I tried to use the indexer to index my Scrapbook X archive and the resulting tree doesn't display any of my saved pages. It is basically empty. Tried to open tree/frame.html and tree/map.html but it made no difference.
To answer Danny Lin's questions:
I copied the original folder to a new location and then the 1st time I selected to open a folder and selected it and the 2nd time I dragged and dropped it on the indexer page.
I picked to index the ScrapBook folder, the one that contains the data folder and the rdf files.
Output of indexer:
Got directory 'ScrapBook'. Inspecting files...
Found 279110 files. Found 'scrapbook.rdf' for legacy ScrapBook. Importing... Inspecting data files... Inspecting metadata... Inspecting TOC... Adding new items to TOC... Inspecting favicons...

Developer response
posted 7 years agoPlease provide more detail: Where do you save web pages to? How do you run the indexer (by dropping or by selecting a folder or a file)? Which is the folder you pick to index? What is the output of the indexer?
Update:
Do you see a list of your captured pages when you open tree/frame.html or tree/map.html? If yes, the indexing seems successful. Just note that the zip only contains the "list" part, and you need to extract them into your ScrapBook folder (so that your ScrapBook folder has data/, tree/, etc.), or each link to the page will show nothing.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alanyyab, 11 days agoVery useful. 2 Feature suggestions: Dark mode UI support for the sidebar. And an easier way to highlight text, possibly similar to Raindrop extension where after highlighting text a popup right above the text shows up with color options.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18834571, 2 months agoУдалось в первозданном виде сохранить страницу, которую не сохранял ни один браузер. Автору большое спасибо и успехов в работе!
- Rated 1 out of 5by ehobby, 4 months agoUnable to get this to work on Firefox 133 and Fedora 40. Installed the backend and the browser extension. Could not find any configuration for the backend that would work. There needs to be a more specific set of instructions written by someone who has successfully installed this extension in Linux, unless this only works in Windows. Perhaps this is a great extension but it is worthless if it cannot be installed.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18235051, a year agoI needed to backup a website that used form login, making a simple scraping not possible. This extension worked like a charm after figuring out some of the configuration options.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13058149, 2 years agoI choose the WebScrapBook/data option but it wants me to configure Backend server... ? ? ?
Useless.
I miss the old Scrapbook Extension.Developer response
posted 2 years agoPlease consult the documentation about different approaches to capture a page: https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook/wiki/Basic. Raise an issue with more details (e.g. a screenshot illustrating where you are asked for backend server configuration) in the source repository if you still don't get it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alexander, 3 years ago
