create and manage web archives
thoresson | Oct 31 2006
Hi, I'm new in the OS X-world, and have just learnt about Safari's web archive function. As a freelance journalist, having the possibility to save websites that might be useful in the future as selfcontaining files are a great possibility. Even better if there was some software that helped me in creating and manage the web archives. To do it in Safari requires a couple of mouseclicks. Is there anything around that would let me create a web archive out of a url in the clipboard or similar just with the press of a hotkey? And what about sorting and tagging the created archives so that they are easily available in the future? /Anders 13 Comments

 Patrick, I do find the Yojimbo...Submitted by thoresson on November 1, 2006 - 1:50am.
Patrick, I do find the Yojimbo way attractive, not to have to bother about filing things. But, with _any_ structure, just a couple of thousand web archives in a mess, is it still possible to find what you need? I don't know, since I just started my archiving and have about 7 web archives in there right now :-) I found EagleFiler yesterday, and it looks promising. Easy adding of new archives and it offers the possibility to make some filing if I want to. And both web archives and pdf:s are searchable right away. Journler also looked good, but there I have to "activate" searching for each pdf and web archive through a checkbox. And of course, Devonthink looks good as well. But I like that EagleFiler really works on files that are stored as files in Finder. Makes a future switch easier, if I would want to. Problem is, DT Pros AI looks interesting as well, but with 7 web archives I can't put it to any tests right now. :-) Think I'll try EagleFile for some weeks, and then feed DT Pro with what I've stored during that time and see what it spits back at me. Choosing the right tools is hard. /Anders » POSTED IN:
