This software converts Safari webarchives into Konqueror war archives or downloads HTML pages as war archives.
Webarcher is a handy utility that facilitates the conversion of Safari webarchives to Konqueror war archives or the downloading of HTML pages as war archives. One of its major advantages is the Konqueror war archive, which is smaller than the Safari archiv format and can be opened on any operating system, not just the Mac OS. This non-proprietary format offers greater compatibility and ease of use for users across different platforms.
On the Mac OS, Webarcher can be opened in Safari using SafariWar, a small tool that complements the application. To convert one or more webarchives, simply drag and drop them onto the application icon or the image in the application window. However, it is important to note that all files dragged onto Webarcher must be of type 'webarchive', or else the drag will be rejected.
Apart from the conversion feature, the application also extends functionality to allow users to load complete HTML pages as war archives. To achieve this, select a valid URL and use the Service menu entry. The URL can be in any location and can be accessed by selected text or entered in the Safari address field. Alternatively, the URL can be dragged from the Safari address bar directly to the Webarcher window icon. In Firefox, one can select the URL and use the Service menu as well. Worth noting is that to use this feature, the wget utility must be installed, which is not a standard feature of Mac OS X. One can get it from MacPorts or Fink.
The software has some requirements that are essential to its functionality. A web browser will probably be useful alongside Webarcher, as the software complements browser behavior. Additionally, an internet connection is necessary for downloading webarchives, while the tool wget needs to be installed for loading HTML pages as war archives.
Overall, Webarcher is a useful tool that offers convenience to users looking to convert or download webarchives. It is simple to use and offers flexibility in output formats, given the compatibility of Konqueror war archives to different operating systems.
