Summary : after you export a site or an agent to HTML format, you will be able to group-browse those pages with your current browser.

Presentation - Back to the top !

Mirroring a site or an agent through the File|export menu allows you to browse captured pages without using eCatch. Captured pages don't need eCatch anymore. Sharing or browsing those pages with any other HTML compliant tool becomes a child's play.

• All exported images or pages include relative links (the whole may be exported and is operational).
• All external dead links remain absolute : they point out at the original document on the Internet (dead links are easier to locate).

Fine tuning of the export feature: you may export a single page, a single directory created with eCatch, a whole site or the whole files encapsulated by an agent.

Export options- Back to the top !

The Export options dialog box is reached through the File, Export Menu; that feature allows you to export :

• Only pages located on the same server. You may limit export to pages hosted by the same server (identical first URL references). Hence, in case your eCatch tree directory contains many pages, that option allows you to sort them out.
  • Mirror server structure : eCatch mirrors the original tree directory found on server and recreates it.
• Include images : include images or not while exporting.
• Only html and text files : it avoids exporting fat documents such as .zip or .exe ones. Images are ruled by the previous option anyway.
• Map all exported addresses. A file (HTML format) is generated and pre-named "Index", following the first downloaded page. This site mapping feature permits an immediate access to any exported page.
• Depth Level : Ask eCatch to export untill the desired depth level is reached :
  • Depth Level 0 means you export a page or/and related images.
  • Depth Level 1 means you export a page plus all pages pointed out by its internal links.
  • And so on.
• Path to export creates the directory where pages are stored.
• Open after exporting tells eCatch to start your current browser and to read the first exported page or the index.
