Paths

The Paths tab in the Download Settings dialog lets you specify which paths should be included in or excluded from the download. In these text boxes, enter absolute URLs (that is, URLs beginning with "http://" or "https://") separated by option-returns.

The paths settings work in conjunction with the "Download Option" setting under the Options tab according to the following rules:

1. If this is the original URL (that is, the URL specified in the Web URL text box), then SiteSucker always downloads the file.
2. Otherwise, if the URL begins with one of the strings in the "Paths to exclude from download" text box, then the file is not downloaded.
3. Otherwise, if the URL meets the requirements of the current "Download Option" setting, then the file is downloaded.
4. Otherwise, if the URL begins with one of the strings in the "Paths to include in download" text box, then SiteSucker downloads the file.
5. Otherwise, SiteSucker does not download the file.

SiteSucker allows you to use the following wildcard characters in the path strings:

• "\?" matches any single character
• "\*" matches zero or more characters

(To differentiate a wildcard character from a character in the path itself, each wildcard character must be escaped, meaning that it must have a '\' character before it.)
