Operations

Install (unpacked)​

  1. Open Chrome or Chromium and go to chrome://extensions.
  2. Enable Developer mode.
  3. Select Load unpacked.
  4. Choose the extension directory from this repository.
  5. Pin APTlantis Archival if desired.
  6. Open a normal webpage and run capture/export actions from the popup.

There's no build step and no Chrome Web Store distribution — this is a plain unpacked extension, reloaded from chrome://extensions when the source changes.

Typical workflow — build a URL list​

  1. Open a page.
  2. Click Add Page (Title + URL) or Capture Links on Page → Add to List.
  3. Repeat as needed.
  4. Click Export List to download one URL per line.

Typical workflow — archive page content​

Use the article/full-page markdown, metadata, screenshot, and PDF actions individually from the popup — each writes directly to its own output folder under APTlantis/ in your downloads.
