[Slogger] Sigh

[Jon B]

1. I really like the idea behind Slogger (I save *everything*), and
have found it useful a few times in remembering things that I wouldn't
have been able to remember otherwise, but it is slowing down my
computer A LOT.  Every time I load a page, it freezes for several
seconds.  I think it gets worse with time (maybe getting better at the
beginning of each month?  We'll see...)  Is there anything that could
be done to improve this?  I wonder if it is the log file or the data
files that is slowing it down.

2. It saves a lot of redundant data.  I wish there were a way to
compress the files that it saves.  I might try using NTFS's file
compression, but I fear that would just make it even slower.

3. I set it to save HTML only, but it saves anything that I access
with an address, so if I say "view image", and it shows the image's
URL in the address bar, it saves the image, too.  I just want to save
the text-based information from the pages I visit.  No images or
movies or whatever.

4. It keeps giving me this interrupting modal window error "The link
could not be saved.  The web page might have been removed or had its
name changed."  I'd really like to turn that off, as it interrupts my
work for no real reason, but I don't see an option.  Turning it into
an ignorable notification window or status bar icon would be much
better.

5. Also, I would like to be able to filter more powerfully.  For
instance, filtering "google.com" currently makes it ignore google.com,
but not www.google.com.  Ideally, this or "*.google.com" would make it
ignore all such incarnations without having to type them in, such as
print.google.com, images.google.com, and so on.  Maybe even better
like filtering "*.google.com/search?q*", so I can filter out searches
but still slog other parts of their site.

Otherwise, good job.  I really want to keep using it.
