gHTTrack is a GNU/Linux frontend for Xavier Roche's HTTrack Website Copier for reading Web pages offline and/or for mirroring Web sites

Here are some key features of "gHTTrack":
Easy to use (no need to remember httrack command-line switches)
Easy access to httrack's log file (no need to manually open hts-log.txt)
Saves the settings of up to 10 often-used projects

Requirements:
For all : HTTrack Website Copier v3.xx
For cHTTrack : the ncurses development libraries
For gHTTrack : the GNOME and GTK+ development libraries

Limitations:
The main window does not get updated while mirroring is in progress, causing the program to appear to be crashed.

What's New in This Release:
Updated GUI and code to conform to HTTrack v3.23.
Changed configuration file (~/.gnome/gHTTrack). Added [ghttrack] section and changed code to preserve old settings.
Added hints to Options Dialog.
Added option to run HTTrack in forked process. This makes ghttrack's main window immediately available after an Action command.
Removed the 2nd tab page (Output From HTTrack Command) from the main window.
The run-log.txt file is only created when running non-forked using popen() and is displayed in the 1st tab page (Information About Current Project), when available.
Fixed limits for most of the Options Dialog data entries. Due to a quirk in Glade, limits were not enforced for ComboBox entries. These limits (defined in the 3rd element of the Options array) are now set manually.
