then it would be easier to change something in case you want a project to download some files and don?t know why these files are not downloaded.
1. The information on why some file is missing would take much space on the hard disk and it will definetely slow down the download process.
2. It might be confusing, if the missing file belongs to several Projects. Some of them might be aborted, other - have URL Filters or insufficient Level setting.

perhaps an error code (explained in the help-file) would be enough?
the normal message is:
Error: Document Not Found
This page is not accessible offline. Possible reasons: either it was an invalid link on the server or Project settings do not allow the page to be downloaded.
this could be enhanced with:
Error: Document Not Found (Error code = 5)
This page is not accessible offline. Possible reasons: either it was an invalid link on the server or Project settings do not allow the page to be downloaded.
the numbers could be explained in the helpfile. for example:
1 = not downloaded because of level limit
2 = not downloaded because of filesize limit
3 = not downloaded because of filesize type
etc...
it wouldn?t take that much diskspace this way (some bytes per missing file + the enlarged help-file).
it also could be made a non-standard feature which you enable only for checking in case you really need it
i just had it several times now that i had to search for some time for the setting which mad oe stop loading some files i wanted to be included.
i see the problem but perhaps you can find something about this?
at least i have no projects in one folder which share files(websites)

perhaps an logfile on disk would be an alternative. in the logfile missing files could be listed with an errorcode. then there would be no need for an database and you still could search the logfile for the files you are interested in.
so everything could stay like it is at the moment and only an logfile would be added. the only slowdown would then appear while creating the logfile, (the logfile could be overwritten with every run of the project) the browsing wouldn?t be affected at all this way.
of course this logfile could become quite big for large projects too but normally you only need it when you setup an new project to check that everything is working correctly and when it works you can disable the logfile again.

it would be great if in the logfile all files which were not downloaded would be listed (with the reason why they were not downloaded).
this would have the same effect Ranjid (and me) wanted, but it wouldn?t require an database to make it possible.

Please unzip it and place updated file to the directory where Offline Explorer Pro is installed.
You will need to use command line to enable that feature:
oe.exe /LogRejectedURLs
Now the standard log (View | Messages | Log window and the command line log:
oe.exe /LogRejectedURLs /log=c:\oe.log
will contain detailed parsing results.
I hope this helps you.
