 |
Main Window
(left) Here is a typical shot of WebSnatcher's main
window.
Click on various items on the graphic to read a
description, or use the following list:
Right-click tree menu
(left) A lot of power is available in the "right-click menu" that appears when you right-click on an
item in the tree view. |
The URL Edit box is the box at the top of the dialog
where you can type in a URL to visit. This edit box will be filled in automatically
if you choose a URL from the Favorites Menu.
This button appears to the right of the URL Edit Box and
has three periods ("...") on it. Clicking on this button accesses the
"Favorites Menu" from Internet Explorer and selecting one of the items
automatically fills in the URL Edit Box and opens the URL in the tree view.
The "Go" button instructs WebSnatcher to
download the URL in the URL Edit Box and display it's links in the tree view. Use
this button to refresh a URL as well.
Download Folder
Button
Use the Download Folder Button to set the folder where
files will be downloaded to. This feature is also available in the
"Folders" tab of the options dialog box.
A lot of functionality is available through the Web Page
Tree Control (below).
The "Options" button displays a dialog with
various "tabs" where you can tweak the behavior of WebSnatcher.
This small button opens your download folder in
Windows Explorer
The "Help" button displays the HTML help
system.
The "Stop" button stops an in-progress download
as soon as it can. This is normally very responsive.
"Download"
Button
The "Download" button begins the
download process. It checks to see if any items are checked and downloads
them, or, will download the current file that is selected.
The "Close" button closes WebSnatcher. If
a download is in progress, WebSnatcher will prompt you if you really want to exit.
Displays the number of bytes that have been
downloaded for the current file
This progress control displays the current download
progress on the current file being downloaded. The file name appears above the
progress control and a byte count appears to the right.
Clicking this button during a download will
stop the downloading of the current file and move on to the next
Tree View

Refer to the graphic on the left.
WebSnatcher's right-click menu lets you download any item
with a single-click. Downloading a web document throught the right-click menu allows
you to download as many levels beneath that web document as you wish. You can also
set up filters that tell WebSnatcher what files you're interested in.
For more information see the right-click
menu description.
For more selective downloading, you can check them by
using the checkbox that appears to the left of the item icon, and then right-click and
choose "Download checked items". By holding down the <CTRL> key and
clicking a branch, you automatically select all items underneath that
branch. However, if you haven't expanded the branch, the items will
not download; this is a safety feature. Use the multi-level download
dialog feature for this where you have more control over downloading
multiple levels. By holding down <SHIFT> you can select
multiple adjacent items.
Each file has it's own icon that helps to identify the
type of file that it is. A red check appears next to files that have been
downloaded. |
