Interesting. This is the message I get in the Error Console: "Save Complete reported the following warnings while saving about:: Download failed for uri: about:/" In fact, this should be a fatal error and not a warning, as it may result in a corrupted archive. Saving "about:" URLs is not fully supported by Save Complete, however I'll have a look into this since this bug may appear in other cases too. > Compare to Christopher Ottley's version, the plugin is far more stable > (it no longer kill the firefox.exe process), but the "failed rate" when > saving something is increasing, espc. when saving large page or more > than one pages.

If so, it may be useful if you post the addresses of these pages, in order to investigate what's causing the failure. The original version of MAF didn't have Save Complete, so it's quite possible that it succeeded in saving the same pages just because some content wasn't downloaded at all. The latest version with the browser's standard save system should perform similarly.

Hello Jatin, thanks for reporting the problem. In order to understand what is causing it, I need some more information. In addition to the versions of Firefox and MAF that you are using, if you could provide a link to a web page that gives the problem when you save it, it would be very useful. If the problem occurs with common pages like the Google home page, attaching an MHT file of that page saved from your system would be even better. > Is Mozilla Archive Format is compatible with AdBlock Plus? As far as I can tell, AdBlock Plus and MAF are compatible, even though I received reports of problems occurring when ABP was installed and the integrated "Save Complete" component was enabled from the MAF preferences. Is this question related to the problem above?

Message-ID: <4AB30FAF.6060204@gmail.com> Maf, in its restored version, is extremely good. Much appreciation, Mr. Amadini. I had converted from the old Maf format to Scrapbook a couple of years ago, finally, when the work on Maf stopped. But now with the new Maf my archives are now nearly all reconverted, one webpage per Maf file. This lets them be managed from outside of the program, searched for from a file manager, etc. The savings in numbers of files from Scrapbook, hence for backups etc, is immense, as is the gain in transparency. But one of the simplest and most useful features of Scrapbook is the ability to list all the files in a given collection from the left sidebar, as a directory, and display them one by one when you click down, essentially a 'view files' function. It would be superb if this could be done with a set of Maf files, collected within a directory/folder. As it is, it appears that Maf files still need to be dragged over or opened, one by one. Has there been any thought to, essentially, developing a sidebar interface like Scrapbook's? (I have not explored putting multiple pages into a single Maf archive, mostly to avoid the risk of losing the entire collection if one page has a problem and corrupts the archive; archiving page by page seems much more prudent.) Thanks.

Has there been any thought to, essentially, developing a sidebar > interface like Scrapbook's? Since the beginning, the MAF extension has been thought for people that needed to save pages in single files, that later could be moved around safely using the operating system's file manager, maybe together with other files. For example, I often save MAFF archives of help pages or forum posts related to a program near the program's installer. When I took over the MAF project, a view of all open archives already existed, and making it persistent across sessions and available from the sidebar seemed the logical evolution. Then I discovered that ScrapBook did the same thing; I also realized that it was a slightly different use case from the one covered by Mozilla Archive Format. Both add-ons can be useful for different purposes, but it doesn't make much sense to write a new ScrapBook inside MAF. What I think more probable, as an evolution, is that Mozilla Archive Format will become an optional back-end for ScrapBook, providing efficient storage (a 100KB ZIP file takes up much less space than a hundred 1KB files) and all the other advantages you pointed out. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for your feedback!

No, this problem hasn't been reported before. MAF is a standard XPI package and should install in the same way as all other extensions. What are exactly the steps that you followed to download and install MAF? Knowing which links and buttons you clicked and which dialogs were shown may help in understanding if something went wrong. The exact version of Firefox you're using and the operating system are also useful pieces of information. Sometimes these problems are caused by other installed extensions; you may try to disable some or all of them before installing MAF, and see if the problem persists. Regards, Paolo
