Web Document Saving a Local Copy

Greetings!

I am gradually learning how to use MyInfo, and so far I like what I see. I have a quick and perhaps dumb question about "saving local copies of web pages." I wish the procedure were a little easier (fewer mouse clicks, for example), but perhaps we will see some streamlining in future versions (such as two icons placed on the browser toolbar: one to copy the web page, and the other to save / store a copy of the web page).

Anyway, when I save a local copy of a web page, the "Web Resource (Local Copy)" window in MyInfo reads:

file:///C:/Users/TFJ/AppData/Local/Temp/MyInfo%20Temp/Web_page_cache_586.mht

If these saved web pages are simply embedded in the particular Topic I was using when the web pages were saved (that is, if the "Always embed copy of inserted files" is clicked in "Options, Save, Save options"), why then the long address on my C drive as mentioned above? Just curious.

This is a temporal location of the file. When you open a particular web copy in MyInfo, it is extracted on you hard drive and open it MyInfo. When you close it (go to other document), the temp copy is deleted from you hard drive.

We will streamline this in the future versions.
