Suggestion for CP

Hi all, I've been thinking about this for a while, after finding in my hard disk several files named whatever_src.zip... For users' convenience, it could be nice if the files section of an article had something like article_doc.zip, where a copy (something like a printer-friendly "Single File Web Page" .mht or .pdf or .html) of the article itself could also be downloaded (of course, it can be done manually). Printer-friendly copies could be rendered read-only or have sponsor banners as headers) Something like Files coffeetemplates_src.zip coffeetemplates_demo.zip coffeetemplates_doc.zip what do you think? Of course, this means yet more work for article submitters, and there may be valid reasons for not doing this (advertisement, etc) Regards, R.

saving the articles is just a matter of saving the web page from ie with all its items (pics, etc.) Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 Trank :jig: I've gone sending to outer space, to find another race :jig:

Given that IE already does a fairly good job of saving a complete web page, it's prolly not worth the effort. But, i do think it is nice when authors are able to include the text of their article along with the source; it does make it easier to categorize when stumbled over later. --------

The problem with this is that you have to have multiple files (one .html file, many .jpg files, etc.) for the article. It would be nice if we could convert the articles to PDF or DOC files then just have to worry about 1 file for the article documentation. Brigg Thorp Software Engineer Timex Corporation

Good idea Ramon. You can actually make a PDF with the article text and images. But the files will have to separately distributed anyway. Nish
