Notice

Before you clip the web page, you should scroll it from top to bottom to let the external resource (images etc.) loaded, so we can clip the full information.

If your browser enable “ask for filename every download”, please disable this option. (because MaoXian Web Clipper will download lots of file one clipping, you will get lots of window if you enable this option)

Storage Path

All the file you clip will save in $downloadFold/mx-wc directory.

Assume your default download path is /home/foo/downloads, then it will save file in /home/foo/downloads/mx-wc. If you don’t want to save it in this location, check here.
