Hi, i fiddled with web.archive.org, and now i have a *huge* amount of content-redundant or otherwise unimportant pages, but inbetween some 20 - 30 are *very* important. They mustn't be purged. So i set the domain 'age=-1' -- and have a problem. The wwwoffle cache already is ~ 200 MB tar.bz2. You see, I invested much time to hack a tool for a smart selective and configurable backup, where the backup tarballs fit altogether on a standard CD-Rom with no problem. But the wwwoffle cache is growing like a hungry puppy. So I try to cache the least amount of trash possible.
Ideally there would be a button to have the 'delete option' reverted (in the index page), to say 'delete all BUT the marked'. The second choice would be to request an 'hidden pages' index'. There are 2170 invisibles from web.archive.org, and i need only text information, so i hope deleting the hidden is safe. But how can i do that ? AFAICS the 'show hidden pages' option merges them with the main ones. The only reason i can imagine, why this option, is to control if hiding is well configured, and then, perhaps to apply some action to them altogether. Thus it would be much more useful if this option requested them unmerged. Perhaps there exist some clever shell magic...well, yes, i'm a mouse centric :) (And anyway there are much more mice out there than wizards.) -- Michel... .
