You’re welcome,glad that it is useful for other people.
Thank you for the tip regarding NotebooksApp - i suppose it is the version by Alfons? It is a pitty that it also doesn’t show the saved page as it was (i.e. without pictures).
Some more info (maybe useful to other people): I also tried to manage the html files with a app called Snap2Html.
This i basically program to index the contents of external hdd’s and produce a nice html file with a search option (in just one html file!). It also allows you to link to the file directly.
So, what I was doing was the following: sorted the web-page html’s into thematic folders, run Snap2Html on the top folder and choose the option to link to the files. The exported html file (by Snap2Html) became an entry point or index of my collection,where even the file names could be searched. The linked web-articles open i the same browser window in all their glorywith pics and styles.
However, no full text search (on the contents of the individual web articles) and no way of tagging by using this approach.
I will keep on looking,grateful if you all could point me to some other solutions or workarounds.
