Type

General question or discussion
Propose a brand new feature
Request modification of existing behavior or design

What is the problem that your feature request solves

Users see preview panes, even if the archive method is not available. If the users try to view the non existent previews, they see some kind of error message. This probably confuses users with non technical background.

Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

Only show previews, that really exists.

How badly do you want this new feature?

It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
It's important to add it in the near-mid term future
It would be nice to have eventually

I'm willing to contribute dev time / money to fix this issue
I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
I've had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up
