[Maf] 'Update Archive' Feature?

[Angus Veitch]

I'm just wondering if there is any plan to implement an 'Update Archive' 
feature in MAF.  Such a feature would kick in at step 3 in the following 
procedure:

1.  Open a saved multi-tab archive.
2.  Update (refresh) or modify (for example, with a highlighter 
extension such as Text Marker) one or more of the pages in the archive.
3.  Save the updated/modified archive with the original file name, and 
without creating double-ups of each modified page in the archive.  
(Currently, saving over the original file name results in an archive 
with all the original pages plus extra copies of the modified ones.)  
Furthermore, the original URLs of unmodified pages would still be stored 
in the archive, and not be replaced by local addresses.

I realise that this could currently be accomplished by saving the 
modified pages with "File>Save Page As" and then manually updating the 
archive with a zip browser.  But a one-step automated process would be 
preferable.

Of course, there might be much more on the MAF plate at the moment that 
demands higher priority, but I thought I'd at least raise the idea just 
in case it wasn't already floating around.  I'm not sure what kind of 
demand there would be for this feature, but it strikes me as a fairly 
logical extension of the current functionality.  I use MAF frequently 
for research purposes, so the ability to open an old archive, add 
highlights or other annotations to certain pages, and then save the 
modifications quickly and neatly for future viewing without disrupting 
the structure of the archive would be very useful indeed.

Regards,
Angus.
