Skipped Links

HyperImage can be fine-tuned to download all the images that you want, and none that you don't. The skipped tab of the activity viewer shows which images weren't downloaded, which links weren't followed — and why. This page explains each reason, and what you can do to download the image or follow the link.

These messages relate to settings in the image preferences.

If no images are being downloaded, make sure that “download images” is checked. Note that no messages are displayed in the activity viewer if this feature is turned off.

Image already exists — There is already an image with that name. If you have not chosen to create folders for each folder on the server, you may encounter file name conflicts when downloading similarly named files from different folders. Choose to replace files that have already been downloaded in the general preferences.
Image not in folder — You have chosen to only download images in the same folder as the starting page, but this image is in a different folder. For example, http://www.site.com/folder2/image.jpg is not in the same folder as http://www.site.com/folder1/page.html. Choose a less restrictive scope, or turn off this feature.
Image not on server — You have chosen to only download images on the same server as the starting page, but this image is on a different server. For example, http://images.site.com/image.jpg is not on the same server as than http://www.site.com/. This message may also appear if you have chosen a more restrictive scope. Choose a less restrictive scope, or turn off this feature.
Image not in domain — You have chosen to only download images in the same domain as the starting page, but this image is in a different domain. For example, http://www.other.com/image.jpg is not in the same domain as http://www.site.com/. This message may also appear if you have chosen a more restrictive scope. Turn off this feature.
Image name excluded — You have chosen to exclude images that match one of several words, and the image's address includes one of these words. Remove the matching part of the image's address from the list, or turn off this feature.
Image name not included — You have chosen to only include images that match one of several words, and the image's address does not include one of these words. Add part of the image's address to the list, or turn off this feature.
Image extension excluded — You have chosen to exclude images with certain file extensions (e.g. gif), and the image's file extension is in the list. Remove the file's extension from the list, or turn off this feature.
Image extension not included — You have chosen to only include images with certain file extensions (e.g. jpg or png), and the image's file extension is not in the list. Add the file's extension to the list, or turn off this feature.
File size too small — You have chosen to only download images that are larger than a certain number of kilobytes, and the image is smaller than that size. Decrease the number of kilobytes, or turn off this feature.

Pages are not saved to your computer by default, but you can check the “download pages” option if you would like to mirror an entire website. No messages are displayed if this feature is turned off.

Followed too many links — You have chosen to only follow a certain number of links, and this page is more than that number of links away from the starting page. Increase the number of links to follow, or turn off this feature in the link preferences. If the page is later reached via a more direct path, it will be removed from the list of skipped addresses.
Not a web page — The link appears to be to a file that is neither a page or an image, such as a movie, an archive, or a program. If you would like to download the file anyway, add its extension (e.g. mov) to the list of included images extensions.
Not an HTTP URL — The address is a mailto, ftp, or some other kind of link. HyperImage can only download images from addresses starting with http or https.
