From: David Rodriguez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
What I sent was a live link,
...which is relevant to this discussion insofar as it shows the type
of page you are talking about. You, I take it, are concerned with
archived material on your own computor (off line) that is NOT on the
net anymore. If the pics are on the net, you do not have a problem in
getting them beyond having to download them.
obviously the link works in Bill's
reply but didn't in Elmo's. It was short enough to send on my end
that it shouldn't break so not sure why it did for you David.
It's ok, I reconstructed it now (best to enclose your links for this
list in <>). Yes, it is as I thought and mentioned. Lots of jpgs, all
spliced together, (laid out in a grid or table), each a link, so you
can enlarge by click. Sensible enough an arrangement. I am on dialup
and am trying to zoom to ultimate clear size (so I can actually see
any drug deals 'going down' (as they say in cop shows and crime
movies). Yes, got it. OK. Simple enough, just do what has been
suggested; to sum up: Open up your archives in IE and try drag all
the pics off or control click save them to a folder. See if they are
kosher. If not, you will have to screen capture and assemble all
either in an image editor like Photoshop or use them as they are but
via the html file (see source of archive) suitably modified in the
pic addresses to your own folder. If the html is good, then it will
open in Safari and other good modern browsers on any platform and you
will have your archive forever for non IE viewing
I did discover another little problem though, Safari doesn't allow
dragging of any of the image to desktop like IE does allow a single
tile.
My Safari drags things fine off your given link?
A very worthwhile aspect of IE for archiving was that it keeps the
original url in the address line. Having this is invaluable.
It is only valuable if you can usefully get to a live page. I thought
the whole thing was about your archives being valuable and
unavailable online? In fact, this address is a confusion when dealing
with archived material and better to have the computor address to
reflect the reality. I am never that prone to defend Apple software
these days, but I do here!
Safari
places the address of where it resides on the hard drive. A
completely useless feature. If I am able to locate it within the
expected folders, what good is the drive location in the url? I
usually want to know the original source location of the archive on
the web so I can go back to the original if needed. Sometimes a
completely impossible task with Safari that usually requires Googling
with an entire sentence in quotes, and that only provides occasional
success. So while that url above is the url of my IE archive, it is
also the url of the original page, although they use an updated 2000
aerial.
The wayback machine is pretty cool but no unfortunately it doesn't
work for these. I'll bookmark it though for future use...
You want to get the pics from an IE archived website that is
sitting on your computer offline? Is this right?
Correct, so yes the best method I may have us to use screen capture
at the full size of the page for best resolution. Then work the
magic with photoshop.
Or keep the pics as you find them and use the html source file as
described above. Browser based files, ie. via html and a folder of
pics is awfully neat for navigation. But in Photoshop on the other
hand, if it is only the pics you are needing, you can always zoom in
and out (press option) using the zoom tool once you have
reconstructed the very biggest of the satellite pics you want (you
need a lot of memory, a fast machine and a lot of patience to make
this and view it - it will be very big!). I would just keep good old
IE and forget about doing anything at all - just look at the archives
in this. You can always grab the individual pic out of the IE context
here and there that is particularly important for you. Forget about
any IE beyond 5.1.6 (bound to be troublesome if MS tried
halfheartedly to make it run on X (which at the time was a rushed
buggy thing judging from what Tiger seems like). Could someone
confirm this to me about IE running natively on X (not in Classic)?
Is this true? I am not prepared to try it on my machine, I get enough
trouble!
