View Archive Files

Every HTZ or MAFF archive file saved by Web ScrapBook is essentially a ZIP-compressed file, and therefore you can always view the web page(s) by extracting them using a ZIP software and viewing the containing files.

The entry page of a HTZ file is always index.html. MAFF file will have each page inside a subfolder, and the entry is commonly index.html, but may also be otherwise specified by index.rdf and requires a further lookup.

Using the archive page viewer

Web ScrapBook has a built-in archive page viewer, which can be entered via the dropdown commands of the toolbar button to enter it. After entering, drop one or more archive files to the tab and they will be opened. You can also use the "Pick ZIP files" button to select archive files as well.
