Publisher's Description: |
Then OutWit has the Web collection engine for you: dozens of recognition and extraction functions fitting in a free Firefox 3 extension.
Find pictures in galleries and search engines and download them to your hard disk or display online full screen slideshows in a single click. Have the program guess the structure of data you want to extract and export it as a clean spreadsheet to Excel...
The Hub is the very first tool based on the OutWit platform. A free collection application and a complete Web harvesting environment in a single interface, OutWit Hub gathers a large series of recognition and extraction features to ease your Web searches, sort and organize your collections, make your own mashups. With or without programming or technical knowledge, you can create automatic agents to gather and format the information you seek. Automatically browse through pages, collect and format the information you seek.
This free Firefox add-on is composed of a kernel, containing the library of functions and of an API, which will allow advanced users to build and distribute their own original tools -called outfits- using the features of the kernel for specific applications. Each outfit is a small XUL extension, with its own user interface, features, scripts, scrapers, directory of Web sources...
The first outfit, OutWit Hub, is a multi-purpose development tool, meant to showcase a large number of the kernel`s features, to cover a large spectrum of needs. It will keep evolving and become an indispensible tool, both for data collection and for developing scripts, scrapers etc.
Works with Firefox 3.0 – 3.5.*
Supported Operating Systems: Win XP/2003/Vista, MacOS X, Linux.
What's New in version 0.8.3.52:
Feature - The `Insert line(s)` feature was added to the right-click menu in most views.
Feature - Through this `Insert line(s)` feature, it is now possible to insert generated sequences of strings in most views (links, images, emails, tables, lists, guess and scraper). This can be used to automatically create incremented strings, URLs to explore, sequential file names to download, etc.. In the current version, this feature is limited to 15 items.
Feature - A new checkbox in the bottom panel of the `Images` view allows to ask the program to look for possible neighboring images in series on the same server. In the current version, the program only searches for directly adjacent images in sequences.
Enhancement - Some images were filtered out if the aspect ratio of the high resolution image was different from the one of the thumbnail. The reason was that it usually prevented from getting images for which the full resolution was unavailable. However, this also prevented from finding the high res images in many galleries. This filter was removed.
Enhancement - When openning a Catch file, the program now asks if the user wants to add to the existing items of the catch or replace them.
Fix - Bookmarks and History are now accessible through the Navigation menu on Macintosh.
Fix - Several minor bugs and locale issues were fixed.
Feature - Added access to the history of visited pages in the Navigation menu.
Feature - Added possibility to remember the state of the Save Incoming Files mode between sessions.
Feature - Now keeps path of the destination folder in preferences.
Fix - Corrected a bug that sometimes occurred when importing a scraper.
Enhancement - Some Kernel code refactoring and commenting.
Enhancement - Finds more high-resolution images in galleries.
Enhancement - Finds images in html files saved on the hard disk.
Enhancement - Finds images in simple text files.
Fix - Some more bugs were fixed in the scraper application.
Enhancement - Now compatible with Firefox 3.5.
