I switched over to pdfs instead of web archives about a year ago, when saving clippings. But I’ve just noticed that my old web-archive clips are corrupted. They seem to be text-only, with a format like this:
** Web Archive <…/archive.html> About n+1 Issue Four Back Issues Subscribe News * ** ** ** ** Farewell, Hitch If a hall of fame were established for contemporary book reviewers?well, why not? There?s one for ad executives, poker players, and probably porn stars?Christopher Hitchens would very likely be its second inductee. (James Wood, of course, would be the first.) [etc…]*
It turns out that the files in question were HTML files (not Web archives), and they do not have source URLs. This indicates that they were not downloaded by EagleFiler. The Date Added shows that they were imported into EagleFiler years after being created, and the checksums indicate that the files haven’t changed since they were imported. Thus, it does not look like there was any corruption of the library. Rather, it appears that these files were added to the library folder (it’s not clear why or by what) a long time ago, and EagleFiler ignored them until the new Scan for New Files in EagleFiler 1.5 detected them as stray files and imported them.
