Given a URL, Getleft will try to download all links. As it goes, it modifies the original HTML pages so that the absolute links get changed to relative links, and links to active pages get changed to the resulting pages. Getleft project supports thirteen different languages.
Here are some key features of “Getleft”:
· While it goes, it changes the original pages, all the links get changed to relative links, so that you can surf the site in your hard disk without those pesky absolute links.
· Limited Ftp support, it will download the files but not recursively.
· Resumes downloading if interrupted.
· Filters not to download certain kind of files.
· You can get a site map before downloading.
· Getleft can follow links to external sites.
· Multilingual support, at present Getleft supports Dutch, English, Esperanto, German, French, Italian, Polish, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and Spanish.
· If you would like Getleft to support your own language, please check this.
· Some others not worth mentioning.
What’s New in 1.1.2 Stable Release:
· Enhancement: In the ‘Choose files’ dialog when you use the context-menu entry to put all files in the queue, you will now be asked for the directory below which they will be saved.
· Bug fix: In the last beta, if you middle-clicked on an entry that had not text selected, an error message would appear.
What’s New in 1.2 RC1 Development Release:
· New feature: A Slovak translation, thanks to Julius Szanyi.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to thank him since his
mail server seems to believe I am a spammer.
· Bug fix: If you were hand editing either the url or the
directory of a download in the main window, and then you
tried to finished the edit clicking in the window, it
wouldn’t work.
· Bug fix: While you where downloading an Url, you should not
be able to edit the Url or Directory in the main window,
unfortunately it didn’t quite work like that.
· Bug fix: If you double-clicked in the main window and no
sites where in the queue you would get an error.
· Bug fix: The dialog to choose the file extension of the
files not to download didn’t work.
· Bug fix: Getleft would miss links like: http://anonym.to/?http://www.gulli.com/
· Bug fix: If you deselect a link in the ‘Choose Links’
dialog, the web page should change that link to a complete
one, for example, if the link is ‘index.html’,
it should be changed to ‘http://www.cosa.com/index.html’
so that you can still follow it if you want. Getleft wasn’t
doing it.
· Bug fix: Sometimes Getleft would miss links that were close
to the end of the page.
· Bug fix: If you use the options dialog in the ‘Choose
links’ dialog to change some options, the dialog would be
refresh several times, now it will only be done once.
· Enhancement: I have made some slight changes to the way I
create the Getleft Windows executable, so that now it will
show the ‘blue earth’ icon and if you right-click on it to
see the properties, you will see something about Getleft.
· Enhancement: Updated Csaba Nemethi’s tablelist widget to
version 4.8.
· Enhancement: Fixed Getleft so that it will run with Tile as
included in Tcl/Tk 8.5a6.
· Enhancement: When opening the file log, it will show the
last download by default which, I hope, is usually what we
want to see.
· Whatever: With the latest alpha of Tcl/Tk a bug was fixed
in how widgets are located within a labelframe, so I have
stopped compensating for it. That means that if you are
still running Tcl/Tk 8.5a5, dialogs will look drunk.
