Custom behavior?

[edsu]

I love the usability of scoop. I was wondering if you had considered adding a command line option to inject a custom behavior when archiving a page? For example when archiving this page it would be helpful to be able to click on each image so that the modal displays correctly.

Hey there @edsu, sorry I missed this message.

This is a very good question, and something we've been wondering about in the past: #109

The key challenge with adding such feature to Scoop is, in my opinion, that it would need to be implemented in a way that is both transparent and easy to interpret. I think modifications made to the live page via the behaviors need, to the extent possible, to be properly logged and clearly explained.
I am not sure just embedding the custom behavior code in the provenance summary would be sufficient - and that would come with its own risks.

Do you have suggestions?

Cheers,

I like how you are thinking about this. Perhaps injecting the behavior itself into the WACZ file, similar to the screenshot, would be a way of self-documenting how the archive was created?

I'm going to close this since I had missed #109 and it is asking about the same thing!
