- It appears that the problem went away (for some unknown reason) around 29 November 2017, the last deleted folder I had in my recycle bin.
- Annoyingly, I went to download Internet Explorer to reinstall it, but the install file said that it was older than my current version, and so the installation wouldn't take place.
- Since the problem went away, I noticed that the Save As dialog runs very smoothly, almost instantly.
- I had noticed, but I don't know of a definite connection, that sometimes after crashing, I would hear sounds of my external hard drive waking up.
- To anyone making web browsers, there are all sorts of web browsers, my prime consideration would be automation. Perhaps we need an Internet Explorer Classic cf. Media Player Classic. I know that some work is being done on Selenium and Chrome by itself at the moment, so fingers crossed for more progress.
- This is the script I wrote to delete a website folder when it failed to save.
Code: Select all
#IfWinActive, ahk_class IEFrame
^#!q:: ;internet explorer - delete last saved webpage folder
vDir1 := "C:\Users\" A_UserName "\Pictures"
Loop, Files, % vDir1 "\*", D
{
vPath := A_LoopFileFullPath
;vDate := A_LoopFileTimeModified
vDate := A_LoopFileTimeCreated
if (vDate > vDate2) || (A_Index = 1)
vDate2 := vDate, vPath2 := vPath
}
SplitPath, vPath2, vName
;remove name/date suffixes to get name of last saved webpage
;to confirm we are deleting the correct folder
vName := RegExReplace(vName, "_files$")
vName := RegExReplace(vName, " {2}\K\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}", "`r`n$0")
MsgBox, % vName
FileRecycle, % vPath2
return
#IfWinActive
