can not capture ... stuck on <rdf have not been loaded> #38

Closed scrap-hub closed 4 years ago

First time using ScrapBee configured Scrapbee on win10: C:\Users\handy\Documents\ScrpBo2020\test.rdf NAME:2020 in sidebar can see RDF 2020 in scrap area it says: Loading ...

When trying to capture page and also when trying capture selection, I get error message: " rdf have not been loaded "

Log states:

[info] ScrapBee version = 1.10.9 [info] browser = Firefox 76.0.1 [info] platform = Win32 [info] start backend service on port 9900. [error] backend disconnected due to an error: No such native application scrapbee_backend

Like many others, had used scrapbook for many, many years, and gave up on firefox when Scrapbook no longer functioned. Thanks so much for working on bringing back the magic and ease of ScrapBook. Thanks so much.

UPDATE: Have solved the problem which arose because I had failed to understand that in order to get ScrapBee to work, Step 1: user first needs to add the firefox add-on. Step 2 then as step 2 user needs to Download ScrapBee backend executable and 2 installation files. That is where my problem started. I had not understood that in addition to adding the add-on, a user must download and run a second additional executable.

Maybe the wording of how to make ScrapBee work could be changed so that the complete install process is on one single page rather than on several pages as not everyone is coming from a techie background, and also because former ScrapBook users may still think that making the new ScrapBee work requires no more than adding the add-on.

A final suggestion: Please add that the exutional backend must be run as administrator. I was puzzled and lost when windows defender did not allow me to run the backend executable.

Now that all is working fine, once again my most sincere thanks for bringing ScrapBook back to life. Please keep up your fine effort.
