Is there any way to view the wget command line that's been constructed by DV without actually running the download? I'd like to use DV as a tool for building wget commands that can later be run non-interactively (e.g. via cron).

The default startup settings change when quitting DeepVacuum after a download configuration has been saved. It's not always desirable launching DV with the last saved settings restored. Can some method for controlling that behavior be added in a future version?

Can the global "User Agent Info" preference be overridden by specific downloads? Might be useful having per-download overrides for some of the other prefs, too.

Thanks!

I second the request to be able to see the wget command issued. Perhaps, however, we already have that in the log under WGET SETTINGS:Arguments:.

Good point; info from the log might be enough. Anyway, I've had more success constructing non-interactive wget commands that I couldn't find a working combination of options for in DV. For example, how to enable "--convert-links" without recursion options.
