WebStripperTM FAQ - Interface problems


Q. The tree of sites has disappeared

A. There's a divider between the site list and the browser/file list window. If this too far to the left the site tree disappears. To get it back start with the mouse cursor on the left hand side of the browser/file list window and slowly move it to the left. As it touches the left edge you'll see an icon with two vertical lines in the centre and an arrow pointing to each side (if you see the window resizing icon - a double ended left-right arrow you've gone too far to the left). Now click and drag to the right and the site tree will reappear.

Q. I've resized a column in the file list or site list and made it so wide that I can't make it narrower again.

A. Try the following:

1) Resize the main window, then resize the column.

2) Click and drag the border between the site tree and the browser pane to the left, then resize the column.

3) In explorer look for the file globals.dat in WebStrippers program folder (C:\Program Files\Solent\WebStripper). Double click the file to open it in NotePad. Look for the section starting with the line:

[AppData]

The lines XXXwidth=nnn specify the widths for the various columns. Look for the line where XXX matches the column which is too wide and reduce the value to the right of the '=' sign.
