In 1.12.0a25 images are always captured about firefox-scrapbook HOT 10 CLOSED

I cannot reproduce this problem. Could you please recheck the HTML source of the captured pages to make sure whether the images/media/fonts are really saved to the local disk?

We had redefined "Capture images" and "Capture media" in ScrapBook 1.7.0, which tells that when unchecked, embedded images and media are linked to the source URL instead of saved to the local disk. This behavior is different with older ScrapBook versions, which removed images or media completely from the captured HTML.

Ok, but can it be made option for not to capture images at all?

Also, issue with embedded fonts is still intact - .woff, .eot and .ttf files is captured with pages if they specified.

Currently there is not an isolate option for not capturing fonts except not capturing styles.

It is technically possible not to capture images and/or fonts. Nevertheless, in my point of view, ScrapBook should capture pages as more primitive as possible, and I don't tend to make so many options that are not really important, especially those bothers the primitivity.

I'll need some feedback so that I can redesign the UI in a better way. Would you like to talk about why you might need an option not to capture images and/or fonts?

This is related to the problem that when you want to capture only some part of the page, the elements of the whole page are downloaded neveretheless.

@mirceglavni What do you mean by "the elements of the whole page are downloaded"? It is for sure that the page css, images and fonts used by the page css, page js, and metadata (mostly in the node) be downloaded in a section capture. While images, media, or files refered only by the section that are not selected should never be downloaded in a section capture - if it happens, there's probably something wrong.

Just tested it again on this web-site: http://www.cnbc.com/id/102094988?trknav=homestack:topnews:1
I selected the text from "After a swift and...." to "see how the data shakes out in December". So, no pictures or any other elements in this part. Choose capture selection, and looked with Show Files option in the data-folder, where I found 66 files totaling 2,39 MB. Some pictures shown on the web-site (but as I said, there were none in the selection), the usual social-crap logos etc.
Can you reproduce this?

@mirceglavni I retested it and it turns out to be "as expected". Images not included in the selection are not downloaded, which can be illustrated via comparing with full page capture, which says 136 files and 3.63 MB.
Some font files and images are indeed captured because they are refered either by the css or by the metadata. Sadly we currently don't have the technique to crop only the css parts that are really used by the selected part of the page, so the full css - including images refered by - are downloaded, making the capture rather fat.
This is somehow unintuitive and I'll keep seeking for a solution. Before that we may have to uncheck the "Styles" option to get a light-weight capture.

Thanks for looking into this and giving me feedback. I just tried it again and compared it with the original scrapbook extension. Highlighted again a part of cnbc article (not the previous one), and downloaded the selection with both scrapbooks.
Scrapbook (original).: 21 files, cca 900 KB
Scrapbook x: 65 files, cca 2,1 MB.

I'm no coder, but could you use part of the "old code" (from the original scrapbook) for capturing? Or would this hinder the new functions in scrapbook x?
Once again, thank you for beeing so supportive.

Try capture the full page of some CNBC articles and you'll find that there are bugs for original ScrapBook to take an exact snapshot, as well as the exact information in the css. I'm not going to work around like this since preciseness is more important than size.

In 1.12.0a30, capture options "Images" and "Media" are again redefined to a way more similar to old ScrapBook behavior - that blanks the image/media if unchecked.
A new option "Link to source for files not to capture" is introduced for the behavior of pre 1.12.0a30 behavior - that links to the Images/Media/Fonts source if checked (and "Images"/"Media"/"Fonts" unchecked). This is turned off by default since it seems to be more confusing.
Hope this solved the problem. If there's further feedback please let me know.
