Site Wizard: Options This page contains some advanced options for fine tuning the way WebStripper works. You should leave them alone unless you really want to change them. When updating use quick update (default: checked). When you update a site with this item checked WebStripper will only check the HTML files for updates. This is the best setting for sites which rarely delete content - WebStripper will find any new or changed pages and also find any news graphics etc linked to them. Uncheck this item if you have a site which changes regulary (eg a new site) and you want to delete the old content when it is removed from the server (see 'When updating delete files no longer on the server' below). Change file extension to match type (default: checked). When a server returns a file it also returns a file type. Normally this matches the files extension. However, when the file is returned from a server side script (ie a databse driven site) the returned file type won't match the extension. It is impossible to know which files are returned from scripts and which are straight files so WebStripper checks every file and if it's file extension doesn't match the file type it changes the file type appropriately. Sometimes this can cause problems, mainly due to the registry on a machine not being set up properly. If you experience problems with file extensions being changed inappropriately try unchecking this item. When updating delete files no longer on the server (default: unchecked). Use this option for sites with changing content where you want to conserve disk space by deleting old files. Copy site (Don't ReParse) (default: unchecked). Normally WebStripper reparese a site after it has been downloaded to change any links into relative links (instead of links onto the internet which where in the original files). If this option is checked WebStripper will not make any changes to the downloaded files. Use this if you want to edit and re-upload a site. Bear in mind that most of the internet is copyright protected and you should obtain permission from the copyright owner before re-using material. Ignore query string when comparing filenames (default: unchecked). In rare circumstances this option may be needed if WebStripper enters a loop while following links. This option shouldn't be necessary if cookies are enabled (see below). Store cookies (default: checked). Some sites store small files in your browser, which are returned later on. We recommend you leave this option checked. It can prevent WebStripper entering loops on some sites and will probably be needed on password protected sites. Most material on the internet is copyrighted.
