i am testing this nice product and it seems to work quite well for my requirements. however, there is something missing.

i need to be able to copy the category tree. further, it's better if in copying the tree, I can copy the gkb documents and topics inside as well.

I have a requirement to keep track of resolutions on findings in weekly log reviews. so I am categorizing by week, then by log report (say, 17 of them. windows active directory, linux successful root access etc etc.). so there is a maximum of 17 subcategories under 1 parent category which is the report week (say, 01 August 2010 - 07 August 2010).

so i hope you get it, that I need to replicate the tree every report week. it's gonna be tedious to keep on creating the tree every week.

During the weekend I had a closer look to the extension. Doing a lot of testing and comparing different versions of the add in, I found the following:
If I do the following change in the file webcaptureoverlay.js:
Change line 141 from
var sul_ff_exe_fspec = gsul_path + '\' + sul_ff_exe;
to
var sul_ff_exe_fspec = gsul_path + '\\' + sul_ff_exe;
get things to work.

However I´m a little surprised that no one else had that problem

I have upgraded to Firefox 3.6.8.
The command "Capture webpage with General KB" was not visible in the header menu and not visible in the context menu any more. I followed the advice from the forum and installed the fix. The menues became visible again, but clicking on "Capture webpage with General KB" nothing happens.

I deinstalled Firefox and GeneralKB, reinstalled but nothing changed.

The only way to add a web page is to drop the url in the add topic popup.

All the time, web capture works great with internet explorer version 8.

For completeness, I´m using windows xp prof as operating system.

Any help available ?

I will have to include the files, but it will be a several GByte database then. I suppose GeneralKB can handle that well.

GeneralKB is really a great piece of software. I have searched a long time to find something like it.
I'm just starting to explore the many possibilities of it.
One thing I don't seem to find is to have relative link paths.
If I insert a file in the database, its link is something like c:/directory/subdirectory/filename.ext.
Now I want to move my database and all its associated files to a different drive, but then the
database doesn't find the file anymore. What I want to do is something like ../subdirectory/filename.ext
where the .. is the directory where I put my database. So it would be no problem to move everything from
c:/directory to for example d:/dir1/dir2.
I know you can insert the file directly in the database but because it concerns sometimes many video fragments
of several tens of Mb, the database file immediately becomes immense. Therefore I prefer links to files.
Is there a way out ?

Many thanks !]]> allysibo GeneralKB software Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:38:29 -0500 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5122,5131#msg-5131 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5122,5131#msg-5131 generalkb GeneralKB software Fri, 11 Jun 2010 01:05:05 -0500 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5122,5130#msg-5130 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5122,5130#msg-5130 gkbrv GeneralKB software Thu, 10 Jun 2010 11:33:22 -0500 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5122,5129#msg-5129 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5122,5129#msg-5129

I used this file already : generalkb-2-6-306.exe , reinstall didn't work either, no question about the capture option.
Could be, included in the .msi , download, started , it recognizes the correct installation, so I used "repair", it checked, no question about capture, after this startup GKB, runs well, tried to capture a webpage: no result.

Probably it's in included in the setup / msi file, nevertheless, still can't capture a webpage.B)]]> gkbrv GeneralKB software Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:59:28 -0500 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5006,5121#msg-5121 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5006,5121#msg-5121 generalkb GeneralKB software Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:31:21 -0500 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5006,5120#msg-5120 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5006,5120#msg-5120

First I tried on a Toshiba extended harddisk, subdir were made, nevertheless GKB doesn't recognize the newly made subdir and file.

OK, then tried on the normal harddisk, made a new subdir by the explorer, and filename for a new database inside the programm : result of the game : Can't create "......" directory as error message while the directory allready was made.

Solution ?]]> gkbrv GeneralKB software Sat, 22 Aug 2009 05:16:59 -0500 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5114,5117#msg-5117 http://forum.generalkb.com/read.php?2,5114,5117#msg-5117
Launching GKB via the file name extension allows to start the selected database by double clicking on the database file and so I can have several file links to databases for different projects in the project folder.

The 'Run' setting makes sense for a personal knowledge base, the command line parameter makes sense for project based databases.

Thank you

Would be fine if it would be available before I have to pay for the next bugfix release.
