Total Commander

A saved website (complete) includes usually the html file as well as a folder where the respective css, pictures, js etc. are stored.

At the moment with TC you have to copy / move the file and the folder separately....
(so two operations have to be done, otherwise the htlm is incomplete)

(....or I haven't found yet where I can adjust this behviour....)

It would be very useful if it worked like the Windows-Explorer does, it moves / copies both at once...

Best Regards

Hello, mausebär.

As far as I know there is no setting which will make T.C. treat an html file including the dependent "files" folder as a single object and copy/move them both whenever you copy/move the html file using the TC internal copy/move functions.

Suggested workaround for the missing feature
(missing according to my knowledge):

You can use the Explorer copy/move method inside Total Commander as well without too much hassle:
Simply press Ctrl+C (copy) / Ctrl+X (Move) on the html file and then Ctrl-V (Paste) inside the target folder. This will copy/move the html file including the dependent "files" folder.

Kind regards,
Karl

Oh, that works...

Thanks a lot for the hint...

But you should put it on the list of enhancements for TC.
It happened to me several times that I forgot to mark the dependent folders when I moved html files "in bulk" and had lot of trouble to retrieve the missing folders....
Maybe this behaviour should be selectable in the options...
Programming should be easy I guess, if the respective checkbox is marked, the Explorer method is used internally for copy & Move operations....

For you it's enhancement for me a problem

I'd like to suggest to always save pages as MHT files. That way you'd never worry about additional resources. And if you need simple HTML file from it, you can always use MhtUnPack plugin then.

For you it's enhancement for me a problem Wink

...Why that...?

...Unfortunately I'm using Firefox, only IE is able to create mht-files, afaik.
I'm afraid no respective addon is available for FF....

Shortly: if I want to copy/move/delete one file I don't want to have anything else changed.

Opera saves them too (by default) and I don't even remember when it started (8.x?).

And for Firefox:

As I see, Opera's MHT and IE's MHT have a bit different formats, sometimes one may not open files created by other one.

BTW, TC may decode MHT files w/o plugins.

Thanx.
in the meanwhile I found also a differernt addon which works quite well:

But it doesn't help me very much for the hundreds of websites I've stored by now....

Now I'm looking for a tool which is able to convert all these html to web archive files. Dou you kow if something like this exists....?
