OT: MHT plug-in for Opera

[majkinetor]

When somebody mentioned Opera, I must ask this:

I am considering making MHT plugin for Opera. Does anybody have specification on MHT structure. I figure out most of it already but still it would be useful if someone has a copy.

cmon people, I can't belevie that I am the only one on this planet that finds this limitation frustrating. I know this isn't the place, but I belevie some of you can say something interesting. Purpose of the plugin will be primarly to save pages with images in one single file as viewer is easy to implement, even with batch script.

Hi majkinetor,
save time by using existing Opera Plugins: General Opera Discussion

You may download it from here:
http://my.opera.com/Dennis_Hawks/homes/files/MHTSaver.zip
And you may also want to take a look at this page -

MHT Unpacker 0.1.1 plugin for Total Commander

Kind regards

It must be some new stuff... since I visit Opera WIKI on regular basis....

I just hope it works like it should be.
Thanks Stance, I owe you for this one, you saved me from lot of useless programming.

O.K I examined.

MHTSaver is standalone application which is called via Opera button interface with parameters denoting current Opera page. On start MHTSaver will download page AGAIN and save it in MHT using IE.

COCO is in beta but I don't see MHT anywhere, thought I like idea about rar and other formats alot. I am already using rar to save whole sites in one file and I automate creation of such files via scripts (I even have it in TC start menu -> Create Web Archive, which will create so called .wah file from files in the current folder and subfolders, and doubleclick will open them in browser). I guess this one will be excelent progy but currently it is too bagy.

So, basicly, MHTSaver will do the job. It will represent html like explorer and not like Opera but that is no big concern. And about downloading page again (which is the only way since it can't grab Operas page in any way except in plugin), it may be problem with dial-up but.... who cares about that... (and I have cable only 2 months....

Maybe you can help me with this:
I am using the same technique MHTSaver does in the program I am currently writing: universal bookmark manager with HTML screenshots and thumbnails when mouse is over link. I get page from opera the same way as MHTSaver, then load the link using IE COM and convert it to bitmap also using IE COM. I also do application monitor for custom browsers in which case you can decide to place bookmark viewer as separte button on browsers caption. In this case I monitor clipboard because there is no way finding out what is going on in Opera from another process space.

So to solve this problems I was considering making plugin for opera (netscape) which will comunicate with my "button" and send me information about current address, or even complete page so to avoid redownloading.
Any ideas, sugesstions... bla bla ?

As I am currently aware, there is only one program on the market doing this, and it is called SVBookmark. Anyway, I got the free licence helphing author removing bugs from it, but I finally gave up, because browser information was hard coded so it was depending on browser version and it had unbeliavable number of bugs. That's why it didnt work for new Opera, and it didn't work too much of its job at all.

Such a plugin would be absolutely fantastic!!!
Unfortunately I can't give any help in development.
The missing of MHT in Opera is the main reason why I'm staying with SlimBrowser.

So majkinetor, please don't give up!

Hej... Lesmo, I already did.

MHTSaver does job preaty good.
The bad news is that I found a job today, so I will not be able to do private resarch at this speed. This is, bad news for MHT Plugin, while it seems like a very good news for me.

But, somehow, I always wanted to do it, starting from version 3 of Opera.

I already did some work but it is not so easy since browser plugins are connected to MIME extensions and there is no good way to crate plugin which will save pages.

BUT now, I need to have thumbnails in my bookmarks.

There is also Page2CHM that has an MHT plugin and a scripter (for "strange programs" says the machine translation).
All in russian thought,you've been warned,I personally use it on some pages that COCO fails to start.

[majkinetor]

I will try.
Thank you.

A quick update:
The new opera weekly supports saving and opening mht files.It has its issues(read the comments),but nothing they cant fix by the final ,just when I finished an ahk script to save in a more functional way
