Amaya allows you to save documents either in HTML or as text.
Remote and local saving can be accessed in two ways, through the
Save and SaveAs commands.
Amaya doesn't provide any global view of the set of pages installed on
a server. However it is possible to save files to a remote server as to local
files through the Save and SaveAs commands.
During these operations, Amaya takes images into account.
The save command can be invoked either by choosing Save from
the File menu or by clicking on the
button. This command
saves the current document to the location it was fetched from. Newly added
images are saved in the same directory and no confirmation is asked except if
the document name is unknown. Servers allow users to fetch a document when
only the server name or the server directory name is given. This is very
useful at browsing time, but it is not supported by the put method. In this
case, Amaya detects that the document name is missing and proposes to use a
default name or to complete the request.
If one need to save newly added images to a different location, the
Save As command should be used instead.
Selecting the Save As entry in the File menu
opens a dialog box that allows you to save the current document to a different
location, a remote Web server or the local file system. You can:
-
save the document to a local disk,
-
save the document to a remote URL,
-
save images embedded in the document in the document directory or a different
location,
-
transform embedded URLs,

The items in the dialog box, from top to bottom, left to right are used as
follows:
-
The Document directories selector shows the directories
contained in the current directory. It should be used to save a file on the
local file system.
-
The Files selector shows the files contained in the current
local directory.
-
The HTML and Text toggles are exclusive. The
default is HTML and you have to change it, if you want to produce a text form
of the current document.
-
The Copy Images toggle indicates whether the images embedded
in the current document must be copied along with the document to the new
location. It's generally better to let this switch on since otherwise you are
not sure that the corresponding images will be found when opening the document
later. However switching it off is useful when you have only changed the text
of the document and the document is stored on the same server. When images are
copied, Amaya will automatically update all SRC attributes to
point new image locations. New locations will be relative URLs.
-
The Transform URLs toggle transforms all current URLs into
relative URLs when it's possible. Of course, if the document is saved in a
local file and URLs point to remote files, URLs will be absolute ones. This
ensures that all the links in the document remain correct after the copy.
However if you have several document linked together with relative URLs and
that you plan to move them to a remote location, disabling URL conversion is
needed to avoid referencing the initial locations.
-
The Document location field indicates the location where the
HTML file has to be written. This can be a file in the local filesystem (e.g.
"/pub/html/welcome.html") or the name of a remote URL (e.g.
"http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Welcome.html").
Note that this should be a complete path, there is no way
actually to guess what would be the name of "http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW". You
should also make sure that you have the right to do a PUT
method in the case of a remote location. See the page on configuring your server to accept the PUT method or ask
your Web administrator.
-
The Images location field allows you to save images (if
Copy Images has been selected) to a different place than the
HTML file. This field should contain the name of a directory in the local
filesystem or a location in the remote server.
-
using a relative path, the images is stored at a location relative to the
document directory. For example, if the document location is
"http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Welcome.html" and the images location is "Images",
an image "W3C.png" contained in the document is stored at the URL
"http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Images/W3C.png" and the HTML file is modified to
reference it as:
<IMG SRC="Images/W3C.png">
This is similar in the case of a document location in the local
filesystem.
-
using an absolute path, the images are stored at this exact location,
independently of the document location. In the previous example, if the images
location specified is "http://pub/WWW/Images", the image is stored at
"http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Images/W3C.png" and the corresponding HTML file is
modified in the following way:
<IMG SRC="Images/W3C.png">
-
Clicking on OK starts the process of transforming the
document and a popup asks for confirmation in both cases:
-
the document has to be saved on a remote server, it shows all the URL to be
written to.
-
the document has to be saved locally and the file already exists.
Notes :
The Save As command from the Edit menu
displays a dialog box that allows you to save the current document in various
formats. Clicking the Text button from the Output
Format menu saves the document in text form, in a local file. A list
of all URLs used in the document is appended to that file.
