@Doug: Simply select all (with Ctrl + A, or Cmd + A), and then push the “Delete” key.
But we could make a shortcut for it (as in outwit-images), this is a good suggestion.
Thanks.

How do you clean the catch? After I do a catch and then export to excel, there should be an easy way to remove all the info and do a new catch. maybe I am just missing something.

Thank you very much for the compliment. I looked at the feature and it seems like it could be very interesting. I have given your suggestion to our developers to be considered for future updates.

Your tool is simply great!
Have you planned to add a feature similar to the URL generator in Happy Harvester?
That way it would be perfect.

Thank you so much for the compliment! You could also use Text Editor to save it as an HTML file. Thank you so much for the useful suggestion! We always appreciate and encourage any feedback or suggestions from our users.

I would like to take a small piece of space here and drop a huge Thank you.
I’ve spend a weekend to try to configure different apps that will charge you a quite reasonable amount with no successful results for me and quite frustrating as well.
I had to go through your tutorials and I was ready to go. Thank you.
I was able to paste my own list of URLs in Excel add the anchor tags and save it as HTML. I’ve opened the file with OutWit select all urls in the links widget, r click and select Browse Through… and then the magic happens
You guys rock thank you,
C

For the moment, it is not possible, however, we will be releasing a future update that will have this functionality.

Is there a way to automate Outwit? As in if I had a list of web addresses from an excel sheet and set up the scraper, is there a way to give that list to Outwit and have it autonavigate said list and catch data set up in the scraper?

Great app. I’ve been thinking about writing something similar in Perl. I would like to develop more outfits for you. One problem I had with a site where I had a large page of ebooks I had paid for and had to download: 90% of the files downloaded incomplete. It was a major bummer and I had to go back and click on them all by hand and download manually. Until then I was quite impressed with Outwit. I’m wondering if it was a bug, or something done by the site itself to prevent automated downloading? Does it register as a spider or what is the user agent? What language is it written in? How can I help? I have some ideas for helpful and commercial applications.

Cheers

Thank you for the compliment! For the moment, the limit for the tag fields is 15 and you cannot catch the images. We are working on both and future updates will include those functionalities. For the moment I do not have a release date but it is on our lists of things to do. The way you suggested is the best option for the moment. Have you tried OutWit Images yet? It makes catching and saving images much easier.
