Diffs

Differences between WebScrapBook and ScrapBook X

Improvements

• Select multiple tabs to cature at once.

• More capture options such as link, remove, save current, and save used for images, media, styles, etc.

• Support capure options for style images, favicon, canvas, embed, object elements, shadow roots, etc.

• Support saving a web page as ZIP package (HTZ or MAFF) or single HTML file format.

• ID is based on UTC and captures from different timezones won't conflict with each other.

• A web page can be saved as different patterns of filename, such as datetime, title, source domain, UUID, and can be saved in a subfolder.

• An item in a scrapbook can be a child of multiple items.

• A deleted item from the scrapbook is put into the recycle bin for better security.

• Support Chromium-based browsers and Firefox for Android, besides Firefox Desktop.

• Support remote access of scrapbooks from multiple devices as long as the backend server is properly configured.

• The static site index pages can be viewed on any browser without a specific configuration in prior.

Limitations

• WebExtension framework used by WebScrapBook is more restricted than XUL/XPCOM used by ScrapBook X, and some functionalities are not supported and requires a corresponding backend server, leading to suboptimal performance, such as organizing the scrapbook(s).

• Features that are technically implementable but not yet done:

  • In-depth captures
  • Capture multiple URLs
  • Re-capture
  • Item exporting and importing
  • Item sorting
  • Copy item information (CopyPageInfo add-on)
  • Capture automatically (AutoSave add-on)
  • File format conversion (File Converter add-on)
