Problems with web capture
Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2016 1:17 pm
hi
I'm trying out a trial copy of MyInfo and am having some problems with web capture. Using the MyInfo add-on in Firefox, sending a web page to MyInfo first becomes unresponsive then I have to kill the process. In Internet Explorer I have better luck, the page comes into MyInfo, but does not include any images.
Is there something else I should be doing or are these known issues?
Also, I guess I have some more general questions. What is the difference between the two types of capture? Using "Attachment" gives me an embedded MHT file, but nothing is displayed in MyInfo. Using the non-attachment one - if nothing is selected on the web page you get just a link to that page and a live display of it (MyInfo as browser). If there is a selection, you get the above-mentioned problem, images don't display. Also, even with just image on the web page, it takes a long time to complete the process - I'm not sure I'd like to use it on a page with several graphics.
What I want for the most part is selected parts of web pages saved locally in MyInfo. What is the best way of doing this?
