- by Firefox user 11430268, a year agoRated 5 out of 5La qualité de ce module va au-delà de mes espérances. Presque tout y est, et en tout cas l'essentiel, ce qui est clairement l'objectif de ce type d'add-on. Très utile pour les recherches académiques, ou l'archivage pour la gestion administrative, p. ex. les consommateurs face aux CG fluctuantes des commerçants.
En revanche, j'ai l'impression qu'il n'est pas aisément possible d'annoter un fichier HTML SingleFile après l'avoir sauvegardé (i. e. pour y apporter une modification ou une note plus tard). - by valera, a year agoRated 5 out of 5

- by t_wheeler, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Might be one of the best extensions I've ever installed. Works great.
I'm using this to solve two problems:
1. "I looked this up once, where was that? What did I search for? Can I find it in my history?"
2. "I should re-read this for the next few weeks/months to reinforce what I learned."
3. "It would be great to capture the Reddit/HackerNews discussion thread along with this article."
Oh that's three. I lied. Oops. :)
My filename template is {visit-year-utc}/{visit-month-utc}/{datetime-iso}-{page-title}.html. This lets me easily identify pages from the previous month, which I then can review and update as needed. Generally I find things through Reddit or HackerNews, so I annotate the page with the post URL. That context comes in handy.
Would be nice to be able to save pages to a custom path in the filesystem. Tags would be a useful addition as well, though it's pretty easy to just do a search in the filesystem for relevant content. - by ingr8, a year agoRated 4 out of 5Great addon! I'm just one much-needed improvement away from sliding this into the five-star category. I used to use Save Page WE because it had what I needed, but eventually I came to realize that SingleFile was actually a better addon than Save Page ... EXCEPT for one, small, almost trivial feature: when I save to html with Save Page, I can load the html file, right-click on the page for the menu, and then click "View Saved Page Info". A popup window has this info about the saved html page:
page url:
page title:
saved date:
saved state:
saved by:
comments:
and the option to open the actual page URL
If this one featured was incorporated into SingleFile, it would be five-star, no question (and I might even consider a donation!)
Please, gildas, can you do something along these lines to make your addon THE BEST? Thank you (for the addon as it stands, and for the eventual update that will have this one feature in it :) ) - by Firefox user 12692951, a year agoRated 5 out of 5

- by Buster Blue, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Exactly what I was hoping for. It saves everything together in 1 file, and even adds some info into a button on the top right about when the page was saved, and what the original url was.

- by NM, a year agoRated 5 out of 5C'est très bien fait. J'apprécierais beaucoup en export en PDF, d'autant plus que si la page dépasse la taille de l'écran, l'export en PDF par défaut n'est que partiel !

posted a year agoMerci pour votre revue. Malheureusement, SingleFile n'est pas vraiment adapté à la sauvegarde au format PDF. A vrai dire, SingleFile est plutôt une solution alternative. Personnellement, je considère que le PDF n'est pas un format adapté à la sauvegarde de pages web, c'est une des raisons pour lesquelles l'extension existe. - by Visual Notes, a year agoRated 5 out of 5At first I could not believe that this extension really combines ALL assets in a single HTML file, that a 1:1 image of a page can be archived with correct display (including all links).
After seeing the saved file, I saw images converted to base64, but still couldn't believe that at least external links to JS and CSS files are not used here: so turned off the internet connection and cleared the browser cache. Result: the page was still displayed correctly!
It really does combine HTML and all assets into one single HTML file.
This is really impressive!
As another user remarked: we've been wishing for this since the 1990s! Wow. Thank you! - by Firefox user 16858296, a year agoRated 5 out of 5
