I saved a curry recipe that I found online into my docs and now I have loads of images from the web page filling up my gallery!
Is there any way of stopping this from happening?

ps lovely curry!

Yep there is - there are a couple of threads on it. A search here should give you the answer which is basically to make an entry within a specific file to stop tracker looking in that directory for items.

when you save page as it downloads everything on the page images and all and puts them in a folder. the gallery will find those images.

grrrrr very annoying. will have to revert to good old fashioned pen and paper. lifes too short for all this dabbling with file stuff. Stupid me for thinking the n900 could just do something simply

Try it on your desktop and see if it is any different. I bet it isn't.

It basically saves whole webpage with images. I would recommend that next time you try:

- Swipe finger from left off screen to screen so that cursor icon pops up
- Click it to lock it
- Now you have mouse cursor and you can select text
- Select text
- Press ctrl-c to copy
- Open your favorite notes program and paste it there ctrl-v

.edit
At least I have successfully saved bus-timetable webpages to html files
