The art work in the .HTML file directly links to the actual location where the art is stored and using the drive mapping used during the generation of it. Moving this file to another computer not having this mapping will result is art work being missing. The .mht file though is a file which is portable and can either be stored anywhere else or send to someone else as all page content is included in the .mht file. It is a standard Internet Explorer feature and file format. Another way of making it portable is saving the catalog as PDF file (useful if you don't want to use the Internet explorer archive format). -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://www.vanholt.nl/acc/acc.htm)- for SqueezeCenter & SlimServer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41597 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
