I encourage all fellow readers of this newsletter to contribute financially to this effort on maf.mozdez.org. (I am speaking here on my own initiative) Now for the suggestion: Once a page is saved as an MHTML file, upon displaying it, it would useful to be able go to the URL, to check whether it still exists or how it has changed. I know that the original URL is explicitly laid-out in the header of the MHTL file, but using this is cumbersome. A simple menu entry: View --> Original page, would do the trick. A minor plea: integrate (back) the MAF_MENU functionality into MAF. Keep up the the good work, Ramez -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Rather than dedicate all my time to 0.7.0 (which is a bit more complicated than I had thought) I've retrofitted some 0.7.0 stuff into 0.6.3 and made 0.6.3 FF 1.5 compatible. The most notable thing you might notice is the increased MHT open and save speed. I'm now using a base64 library routine that's built into the browser instead of my hand-rolled javascript one. :). 0.7.0 is a bit of a beast to code mainly due to its planned flexibility - To create a MAFF archive (which is a Zip archive) there are three layers - A native library, a configured script and a set of javascript components. The native library is fast, but platform dependent. The script is a bit slower and has configuration issues, but is platform independent when configured. The set of javascript components is slower than molasses, but platform independent with no configuration necessary. 0.7.0 is designed to fall through layers that don't work until a working one is found. When this is done I should be able to focus on UI improvements and new features. Thanks to everyone who has helped or encouraged me this past year including everyone who has donated, translated or user supported. You are appreciated. :). Belated Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year! Regards, Christopher.

Well I'll consider adding it to the MenuMAF code, but meanwhile you can browse open archives and view original URL from there (use Open Original URLs in tabs). > A minor plea: integrate (back) the MAF_MENU functionality into MAF. Heh. I'm trying. :). There's a bunch of foundation stuff to fix first though. I'm trying to make it a preference - if you want to show the menus or not. > Keep up the the good work, > Ramez Thanks. :). Regards, Christopher.

Is this an implication that "maf" format is more memory-efficient? Thanks for the great job and I now have a version compatible with my FF1.5. I haven't really identified any bug using it yet. But just as a suggestion, if some toolbar/menubar icons can be added to this package, it would be even wonderful.
