konqueror cacheing and off-line saving
Hi All, Konqueror has now become a pretty good web browser. Here in the UK, however, many of us are still on relatively expensive and unreliable dialup access much of the time. I am working on digitising images from books, for example, and thus provide some biggish files. I look at them from home, it takes four minutes for the image to appear. In the interim I have gone off to make tea, and the connection has dropped. In, e.g., Mozilla, I can right click the file and save it anyhow. In Konq, it always seems to want to get a fresh image from the site even though I've checked 'use cache where possible' in the settings. This applies even if it's online - it calls the whole image twice, once to view, once to save. This only applies to certain sites, it seems, so this behaviour isn't constant. Does anyone know of a way of making konq 'see' the files it's already displaying, in order to save them, etc? Is there some other place you can tinker with the cache? Thanks Fergus

Installing the wwwoffle web proxy on your localhost will sidestep round that problem. It caches, and supports offline browsing of stuff already downloaded regardless of the browser. I love wwwoffle... :o) -- 2:57pm up 8 days, 5:36, 1 user, load average: 0.06, 0.03, 0.00
