From paolo.01.prg at amadzone.org Tue Mar 10 07:01:49 2009 From: paolo.01.prg at amadzone.org (Paolo Amadini) Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:01:49 +0100 Subject: [Maf] [ANN] MAF 0.10.0 (experimental) released Message-ID: <49B672CD.5090203@amadzone.org> Hello, Mozilla Archive Format version 0.10.0 is now officially available for download at or through the Firefox Add-Ons website . This version is experimental (not included in automatic updates, some strings are not localized) and provides several enhancements over MAF 0.9.1. The documentation () has also been extended with a new introductory section and a section on the compatible extensions. A new screenshots page is also available (), providing an overview of the most important features of the extension. MAF 0.10.0 has the following significant improvements over MAF 0.9.1: * Integration with the Multiple Tab Handler extension (). * Modified user interface elements: o The default visibility and layout of the MAF menu items has changed, and is now customizable from the preferences dialog. o The tab selection dialog displayed on save has changed, and the current tab is now preselected. o A single file filter is present for the MHTML file format in the "Save As" dialog, and the default extension is a user preference. * Removed elements: o MAF internal save component, superseded by the integrated Save Complete extension. * Several other modifications and bugfixes. For details, see . MAF 0.10.0 has the following known issues: * If the first entry of an archive is not a web page, but for instance an image, it cannot be displayed when opening the archive normally. * If an archive contains multiple pages, refreshing the tab displaying the first one may cause the other pages to be opened again in new tabs. * When saving a page in an archive fails, retrying the download from the Downloads window does not achieve the expected result. * The Save Complete component doesn't always work when saving multiple tabs in an archive.

Yes, this problem only affects users that installed older versions of MAF, before 0.8.0, and then upgraded to the latest version. I think this "conflict resolution" procedure could be moved from UnMHT to MAF, where it can be executed automatically on startup if the leftovers of a previous installation of MAF 0.6.3 are detected. I will make some experiments and contact Arai for arranging this. > Tomorrow is the day I do the weekly build of eight tabs, so will have a > real world test.

That's strange, do you mean installing the same MAF version multiple times in the same user profile? I don't see how this could solve the problem, recent versions of MAF don't modify "mimeTypes.rdf" at all. >> Thank you, maybe you can try version 0.10.1 that fixes a couple of other >> things: > > I installed it and used it for my my weekly MAFF file.

I don't know if this can actually cause problems to Save Complete; an interesting test would be to save only some of the tabs and see if they can actually be handled by Save Complete, while other can't. Another possibility is that maybe Save Complete couldn't handle too much concurrency, since it was originally designed to be launched manually on a single page; if saving one tab at a time works, that may be the problem. > Tomorrow hopefully I will get a change to test under Win7beta.

If so, the good news is that Save Complete 1.0 will be released in a short time, and I'll be releasing a subsequent MAF update. I think it's worth waiting for Save Complete 1.0 before going on with the tests, since the problem may disappear, and if it doesn't I can work on the latest code and send any fix back to the author.

I agree. I think the problem is with the the web site itself and something which is non-standard. Hopefully SC1.0 will solve the problem.

Now that everything is confirmed to be OK, I will release 0.10.2 (which is only a localization update of 0.10.1) as a stable version on both mozdev.org and the Firefox Add-ons site.

I tested the save process with the pages you mentioned, in several scenarios, and concluded that there are two different issues here. When you use the browser's standard save system, the error dialogs you see reflect problems raised by the network layer of Firefox itself. In your case, probably some of the files were not available due to some network problem. Actually, I was not able to reproduce this condition on my system, which is a Windows XP with Service Pack 3 too. When you use the integrated Save Complete 0.9 component, one of the problems is that error conditions, whatever the reason, may cause the download progress bar to hang without the error being reported. With the pages you mentioned, Save Complete 0.9 actually failed to save some files on my system too. The author of Save Complete is about to release the 1.0 version of the standalone extension; meanwhile, I'm testing the integration of the new version with MAF. With Save Complete 1.0, I was able to save both pages correctly. Moreover, version 1.0 has been redesigned for better error handling, and while at present it can't update the progress bar in real time, the problem with the bar hanging does not happen anymore in case of network errors. I will release a new version of MAF as soon as I can complete all the tests and Save Complete's author releases the official standalone extension. Meanwhile, I can only recommend to use the browser's standard save system in case some complex pages cannot be saved with Save Complete. Regards, Paolo
