ClipDown v1.2 released on OS4Depot - Adds new modes for downloading.

ClipDown will download any valid HTTP: or FTP: URL to your local drive. It's designed to make downloading from OWB easy but can be used stand alone. Version v1.2 had just been uploaded to OS4Depot.

Version 1.2 adds the ability to slect four different download modes via a new menu..
The following download modes are now available:

1. Download Files / Pages with no images. (Original operation)

2. Download Full Page including images with directory structure mirrored locally.

3. Downlaod Full Page including images into a single directory.

4. Download Full Page including all pages and images linked up to 1 level down. This allows getting a single page with all linked pages and graphics working locally.
(Caution should be used when using this mode as a lot of files could be downloaded.)

See CliipDown.guide for more details

This is very useful. Now if we had plucker, we could do PDBs for Palm PDAs.

Thanks for this nice tool.

Not exactly. If the URL points to an individual file you can still only download a single file at a time. If the URL points to a web page it will automatically download the page, all the graphics, and depending on the mode selected, the pages and graphics to render the pages that the original page links to.

For example, if the URL in the clipboard is www.amigians.net, For the different setting you will get the following when you download:

File / Page no imgaes:
Just the html text for the page is downloaded. When you
view the page you will see all the text formatted correctly but no graphics.

Full Page with images --> Directories:
The html text an the graphics will be downloaded. When you view this page and it's graphics will be displayed but none of the links will work unless your connected to the internet. The downloaded files are stored in a directory structure that mirrors the one on amigans.net,

Full Page with inages --> No Directories:
Does the same as above but stores the downloaded files in a single directory instead of mirroring the amgains.net directory.

Site Copy 1 Level Deep:
Copies the page and graphics as above but also copies the pages and graphics that all the links on the page point to.
When you view this you will see the amigans.net page and the links on the page will all work locally and render the full page and graphics it links to. The links on the linked page will not work locally though. Care should be taken when using this mode as a lot of data could end up being downloaded and if you do it to much to an individual site the site maintainers might not like you to much.
