- Rated 1 out of 5by Bill Peschel, 7 years agoDon't use if you expect to transfer your old Scrapbook data. Attempts to save and import the material failed repeatedly.
- Rated 1 out of 5by CyberAqyn, 7 years agoDoesn't recognize proper Unicode text encoding in maff pages.
- Rated 4 out of 5by jjclub, 7 years ago請問有辦法import scrapbook.rdf? 我可以用site index但是我想要以前我命名的folder name回來
- Rated 1 out of 5by mbnoimi, 7 years agoThis add-on useless without sidebar (the old one worked fine)
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13523201, 7 years agoTwice I tried to use the indexer to index my Scrapbook X archive and the resulting tree doesn't display any of my saved pages. It is basically empty. Tried to open tree/frame.html and tree/map.html but it made no difference.
To answer Danny Lin's questions:
I copied the original folder to a new location and then the 1st time I selected to open a folder and selected it and the 2nd time I dragged and dropped it on the indexer page.
I picked to index the ScrapBook folder, the one that contains the data folder and the rdf files.
Output of indexer:
Got directory 'ScrapBook'. Inspecting files...
Found 279110 files. Found 'scrapbook.rdf' for legacy ScrapBook. Importing... Inspecting data files... Inspecting metadata... Inspecting TOC... Adding new items to TOC... Inspecting favicons...

posted 7 years agoPlease provide more detail: Where do you save web pages to? How do you run the indexer (by dropping or by selecting a folder or a file)? Which is the folder you pick to index? What is the output of the indexer?
Update:
Do you see a list of your captured pages when you open tree/frame.html or tree/map.html? If yes, the indexing seems successful. Just note that the zip only contains the "list" part, and you need to extract them into your ScrapBook folder (so that your ScrapBook folder has data/, tree/, etc.), or each link to the page will show nothing. - Rated 1 out of 5by Anach, 7 years agoThe interface for this add-on is terribly user-unfriendly compared to the Scrapbook add-on. The primary thing I wanted it for was to read my old data, like everyone else here, which you would think would be the primary feature and something done automatically, especially during the migration stage of a new add-on, but instead I have to mess around with an import feature that has multiple convoluted steps and doesn't even work properly.
I've followed the import function to generate a site index, for a copy of my old Scrapbook folder within my /one drive/documents/WebScrapBook folder. I am unable to drag and drop like the instructions suggest, because the interface automatically closes upon losing focus. The folder select button was my only other option, but upon using that, nothing happens at all.Developer response
posted 7 years agoIf you simply want to view the ScrapBook X data, using the "output HTML tree" feature would be an easier approach. (But you have to get an old-Firefox-like browser with ScrapBook X installed, of course.)
If want to add new data to the tree, you do have to transfer to Web ScrapBook and dig in the site indexing feature. It seems like you met a bug on your platform, but it just doesn't happen on our (and probably most users') machine, and you'd have to provide more detail for us to debug.
Please provide your OS, browser, and Web ScrapBook name and versions. And a more detailed steps to reproduce the issue (a short movie or a series of screenshots would be helpful). Also check the browser console for an error message when nothing happens as expected when you've picked a folder.
It'd be better to post the issue in our issue tracker (https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook/issues) since the AMO feedback area is not good enough to propagate an issue.
Sorry for not being friendly enough for the UI, since there's too many things to be implemented, and we need a lot more time to optimize the UI. If you have a specific suggestion it's also welcomed to share it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12727537, 7 years ago请问开发者ScrapBook X不更新是因为firefox57对应用权限的限制吗？那我还需要等待ScrapBook X的更新吗？
（注明：你的这两款扩展都非常棒）Developer response
posted 7 years agoFirefox 57 完全不支援傳統附加元件，因此只能用新架構重寫，但新架構限制多，不保證能做到所有 ScrapBook X 的功能，因此另外開發獨立的 Web ScrapBook 套件供新版瀏覽器使用。ScrapBook X 會繼續支援舊瀏覽器及做基本維護。 - Rated 5 out of 5by K8, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13354063, 7 years ago非常好的应用，firefox升级后一直在寻找替代品，这个基本功能是可能满足了。有个小问题想请作者能不能解决下，选项里如果勾选“将获取数据保存于剪贴簿中”，将自动保存网页，但是其文件名是自动分配的一串数字；如果不勾选，会提示选取保存地址，并且以网页标题为保存文件的文件名。我希望能够自动保存时，以网页标题作为文件名，如何实现？
Developer response
posted 7 years ago勾選「儲存於剪貼簿中」時，所有檔案或資料夾皆儲存為標準 ID 格式，以支援站台索引器的交互參照結構；不勾選時則模擬瀏覽器儲存網頁的做法，自動產生檔名並且讓使用者選擇儲存位置。目前並未支援「自動儲存且使用網頁標題為檔名」的做法。 - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13601167, 7 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Alex, 7 years agoНеудобный интерфейс. Нет стабильности в работе. Не все страницы сохраняет. Нарушается формат страницы. Тестировал на FireFox 57, Win 7 x64.
Возможность выбора места ( каталога ) сохранения страницы очень полезна ( удобна ), особенно при использовании функции ScrapBook AutoSave.
На данный момент остаюсь на ScrapBook X.Developer response
posted 7 years agoIf possible, please provide more detail when Web ScrapBook doesn't work as expected. Such as the web page URL and your capture settings. Better report to our issue tracker (as the description says). - Rated 5 out of 5by keltt, 7 years ago身為ScrapBook X的用戶，很開心看到作者繼續開發支持新版火狐的附加元件！
請問過去的ScrapBook X存檔，有辦法轉換到新版的網頁剪貼簿嗎？Developer response
posted 7 years ago可參考： https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook/wiki/(zh-tw)Import - Rated 2 out of 5by css0101, 7 years agoThank you for continuing the original extension. But it's still a bit inconvenient to use. Why does it ask me about the path to save the file? Where can I specify the folder for the database of saved pages? How to quickly view saved pages?
The old extension was convenient because of the ease of use. The page is not so difficult to maintain as standard browser tools.
And I would like to have a connector for the base from the old extension. I have a large database of saved pages. I think not only I have one.Developer response
posted 7 years agoCaptures are saved to the ScrapBook folder if (and only if) "Save captured data to ScrapBook folder" is checked, and you can then use the site indexer to build a site index (page list) for them. You can also build a site index of the ScrapBook folder made from legacy ScrapBook (X).

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13540500, 7 years ago可以瀏覽以前儲存的資料嗎？
另外，強烈譴責 mozilla.org ！好好的一堆工具硬生生停用，沒有任何相容措施（至少讓用戶選擇保留沒問題的工具），罔顧客戶使用體驗與權益！！Developer response
posted 7 years ago可以對 ScrapBook 資料夾建立站台索引供跨平台檢視，也可以編輯，不過目前還沒有 ScrapBook 的 UI 那麼方便。請參見：https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook/wiki/(zh-tw)Import - Rated 1 out of 5by Yinyong, 7 years agoNada como la versión anterior. Esto es un desastre. No sirve. Es un problema para "ver" lo guardado!!!!!
Sugerencia: Cambiar el nombre de la extensión por "Web CRAPbook" - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13503988, 7 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13486900, 7 years ago不能右键另存为mht,"save as htm"是本来存在的功能无什么意义.而且要等好几秒才弹出窗口,影响效率.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Whim, 7 years ago很好很感謝，找到了替代品，但是和原來的ScrapBook X相比，還缺少左邊的目錄樹，希望作者能繼續更新。thanks!
And please add the sidebar menu like Scarp book X. I can't live without that too...... For Firefox 57 - Rated 5 out of 5by Alex AC, 7 years agoperhaps do you have another way to open .maff or .htz - without open new tab by menu "open archived page", but just double click file name? anyway, i think it's good extension, thank you for your job.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoAs the CAVEATS mentioned: "Allow access to file URLs", which allows the browser to open and view a local archive page directly, is currently not supported in Firefox.
This is impossible with pure Firefox addon. (The feature is available in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers). We may consider making another accessory application that helps opening such files via double clicking someday, but it'd make the installation more complicated and may not be able to support all platforms of Firefox.
UPDATED (2017/11/27):
There are some techniques to open archives using the built-in Firefox JAR protocol. See https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook/wiki/View for more detail. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alpha, 7 years ago
