10.3: Print web pages to TextEdit
only works in safari, not in explorer as far as i can see…
10.3: Print web pages to TextEdit
well, who uses explorer anyway? ;-) Now that I'm here: For those who writes journals blogs etc. MacJournal is an extended TextEdit. Very cool, take a look!
MacJournal
Additionally, MacJournal supports PDF viewing in-line as well. So you can mix rtf files, images, MS Word docs (!), and PDFs all in one journal, all by dragging and dropping. And it's all stored in the MacJournal database.

It also doesn't work in OmniWeb 4.5. You get the styled text but no images, links, frames, etc. This is pretty much a Safari-only hint so far.

Yes, I concede I only tested this hint in Safari -- I didn't realize I hadn't mentioned Safari in the hint. Too bad it doesn't work in other browsers, but it is a nice perk and significant improvement over Jaguar.
For those who really need this functionality, a switch to Safari (if they aren't already using it) seems necessary. I wonder what percentage of Mac OS X users do not use Safari? I'd guess a sizable majority do use Safari, but actual data (as opposed to a whole bunch of individual anecdotes) would be interesting. Rob, do you have access stats by browser and platform for MOXH?

I use OmniWeb because it is pretty much Safari with more options. It uses the same rendering engine as Safari and has much better filters, cookie handling, bookmarks, browser versioning, forms handling, etc. Safari does a few tricks better too, such as tabs and all. It all comes down to preferences but OmniWeb definitely gives Safari a run for it's money.

You only get nagged once in a while with OmniWeb if you don't register it. The registration nag is actually kinda funny too, I used to enjoy seeing it actually.
Looking for help with an applescript for this...
Since this is about as close as we're going to get to the scrapbook function found in IE (saving whole web pages in one file), I've been trying to automate this with an applescript.
Unfortunately, I don't know diddly about scripting and could use some help. Here's what I have so far:
Now, obviously, this does not quite work as intended. It does select the contents of the page in Safari, copies and then pastes it into a new document in TextEdit. What I'd like it to do is this: After the paste into TextEdit, automatically have the file named after the window in Safari and saved in a specific folder (for example, "~/Users/MyName/Documents/Web Snapshots/" At this point, I give up. But I would love to use this while in Safari to archive articles without any fuss. Can anybody lend a hand with this little project? I also thought others might be interested in using this, too -- once it's finished! Thanks for your time. |
