Version 2.7.2.11a of screen-scraper available

Posted in Updates at 2:19 pm by Todd Wilson

Just took version 2.7.2.11a fresh out of the oven. This one contains some overdue GUI enhancements that I think will delight you. I’d especially recommend the context menus (try right clicking on items in the tree).

If you’re currently running version 2.7.2.9a or higher you can upgrade via Options -> Check for updates. If you’re using anything else, follow these instructions (see this page for details on why you need to follow these steps):

1. Back up your scraping sessions (check here for help on that).
2. Ensure screen-scraper isn’t currently running (close the workbench and server, if running).
3. Download this file, and unzip it.
4. Copy the contents of the zip file on top of your existing files in the screen-scraper install folder. For example, the zip file contains a “screen-scraper.jar” file which should be copied on top of your existing “screen-scraper.jar” file.
5. Edit your “resource\conf\screen-scraper.properties” file in a text editor. Change the “Version” property to “2.7.2.11a”.
6. Launch the screen-scraper workbench.
7. If all of your scraping sessions have disappeared, don’t panic!
8. Close the screen-scraper workbench.
9. Re-open the screen-scraper workbench.

Provecho!
