FAQ
Q
How can I get an offline copy of the Valentina WIKI documentation?
A
There are number of tools that let you import online web pages and use them locally. We've tested a command line tool called wget that works very well with our wiki software. You can use this tool if you are comfortable using a command line tool. Download wget: wget wget is open source software, so you can build it from source code, or you can find binary for your platform. Check Google Example for MacOS wget After installing or unpacking wget into a folder, run it with command line arguments like showed below:

wget.exe -m -k -nv -np -p
--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0/10; Linux)"
http://www.valentina-db.com/dokuwiki/doku.php

After wget finishes downloading the wiki, you can rename files like doku.php to doku.html. After that, you will have full off line copy of our wiki.
Q
Why MAC archives exist separately 32 and 64 bits? I know that MAC allows making build universal for PPC/Intel, 32/64 for Valentina?
A
This is right, MAC allows to have inside of single executable (DLL or APP) up to 4 branches of code: PPC-32, PPC-64, Intel-32 and Intel-64. But we think that for such big product as Valentina it is better to split 32 and 64 bits into separate archives. PPC/Intel branches of code present in that archive inside of universal binaries.
