Improved database stability

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

We have just uploaded WebSite-Watcher 2010 (10.2) Beta-1.

Main focus in that version is increased database stability, WebSite-Watcher also performs several integrity checks and auto corrections during runtime.

Should you have a corrupted database, WebSite-Watcher is now able to restore more data from damaged databases as in previous versions.

If you don’t have a working backup and your database has too many physical damages and is no longer repairable, then you can use the new feature “Re-Create database from cache folder“. This feature re-creates your database from scratch from files which are saved in the WebSite-Watcher cache folder. It’s an additional layer to restore data everything else goes wrong.

Now let’s hope that your database will never have physical damages and you will never need this new feature! :)

Check HTML files for dead links

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Beside native Firefox 3.x support, AM-DeadLink 4.1 also supports dead link checking of HTML files. This can either be done via the user interface, or via command line parameters.

Using command line parameters allows you to embed AM-DeadLink into any HTML editor that can start external programs, for example WeBuilder 2010, TopStyle 4, etc.

Here’s a screenshot of a typical configuration how AM-DeadLink can be integrated into WeBuilder 2010:

Or into TopStyle 4:
