3.7 Saving files

You can save files directly from the server without displaying them by typing a prefix argument like ‘C-u’ before calling a function that visits a URL, for example: ‘C-u M-x wwe RET’, ‘C-u RET’ on a link button, or ‘C-u i’ on image text in a rendered page. You could also use ‘M-x wwe-download RET’ to enter a URL to download.

To save the HTML source of rendered pages type ‘C-c C-s’ (‘wwe-save-source’). A comment with the page’s URL is inserted at the top of the file for later reference. Set ‘wwe-saved-files-directory’ to change the default directory offered at the prompt (see also ‘wwe-default-directory’, "~/.emacs.d/wwe/", which is used to set the default saving files directory).

Save an image by calling ‘M-x image-save RET’ with point on the image (‘o’ when an image has been loaded into its own buffer). It will be saved in the original size, no matter what settings you have set for ‘wwe-image-max-width’ and ‘wwe-image-max-height’ or the zoom display.

All other non-rendered files (in ‘wwe-minor-mode’) can be saved by calling ‘write-file’, ‘C-x C-w’. If you press enter without adding a file name, the remote file name is used. You can also save rendered pages this way, but note that none of the text properties will be saved.
