I am using opera as my browser. If I encounter an important web page, I just right-click [save as pdf]. Then I import the pdf into TB as searchable attachment. To speed up this process, I created two keyboard shortcuts in TB. One for importing the pdf and one to move the file into the brain.

This is a key requirement for me to move back to the TheBrain from Evernote. The web clipper capabilities in Evernote are VERY useful. Part of that is being able to copy the web page so it isn't lost and so it's content is fully indexed and searchable.

I would like to see it in future release .

Great to see this is now tagged as Planned.
I could see this as a form of 'Hold that Thought' until a user determines what thought the page will be associated with.

This would be very good. And a benchmarking on Diigo could bring also some other ideas for TheBrain.

Oh, to have Diigo and TheBrain play well together....

I agree. The best way for this idea to work is to let PB copy the webpage in such a way that you can access the webpage without using internet connection. It would be like a word document.

I'd also like to see this implemented sooner rather than later :)

This was originally posted way back in 2009. The status shows this as "planned." Will we ever see it?

This could be implemented more easily if built over an existing webspider engine such as HTTrack (that's free and powerful!), avoiding "reinvent the wheel".
Would be great if all links between pages could be automatically mapped into the brain so we could visualize the web of links...

Tommie, the only issue with taking a screenshot is that PersonalBrain can't index the image. If the webpage is then taken down so PB can't index it's text any more then that information is lost for extended searches. Printing the page to a .pdf and then attaching it to the thought would be an interim solution (as well as saving the page to a .mht or .webarchive depending on your OS).

Taking a picture of the webpage and capturing it's link might be a safer option. Websites can have lots of nasty scripts, malware, adware, pop-ups, etc. These culprits can adversely affect performance of the brain. See my write-up on a useful method to store a reference to the site without the risk http://tommiecarter.blogspot.com/2011/02/managing-sites-on-pb.html

FYI: You can just save a webpage with your browser to an MHT file, then move that into the Brain. This keeps all links, text and images.

I like this idea. My preference would be for PB to cache a snapshot of the webpage when you imported it. Making this available ifa nd when needed.

Is it possible to merge these 2 threads?

Onee is planned and ranked 195, the other has no status and is ranked 46.

this would be particularly useful for urls refering to jpg, pdf and such files (and maybe easier to implement fr these than for html pages which often requires several files to be properly displayed)
