WebSnatcher IE Options Dialog

Environment Group:
  • The "Beep" selection tells WebSnacher IE to play your system's "alert" sound when the files that you have selected have downloaded.
  • "Attempt to determine file sizes" instructs WebSnatcher IE to query file sizes for the current document's links.  Most file sizes can be determined; ones that cannot be determined are denoted with "Unknown".

Files Group:

  • Selecting "Reindex links" will cause WebSnatcher IE to update the current document's links to reflect your download folder.  This way, a document's links will remain intact and you can browse the website offline.  You should only use this option for this express purpose - it should be turned off at all other times.  For this reason, this selection does not persist from session to session.  You must reselect "Reindex" each time you restart Internet Explorer.  Also, realize that the only links that are updated are the current document's links.  WebSnatcher IE cannot anticipate how you want to handle links further than one link away.
  • Identical files group (Note: these buttons don't apply when "Reindex" is checked)
    • "Overwrite" causes WebSnatcher IE to overwrite files with identical names.  Newer files will replace older ones.
    • "Sequence" instructs WebSnatcher IE to append a number to identical file names to distinguish them.  Example:  graphic1.jpg, graphic2.jpg, etc.
    • "Ignore" tells WebSnatcher IE to not save a file that already exists in the current download folder.  If a file is ignored, the "ignore" icon will appear next to it: 
  • Download folder button - Click this button to select a new download folder.
