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

Being able to quickly switch the ability to backup content with and without WBM enabled.

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

An option in the add page of the web GUI to enable / disable WBM ?
If this is doable it would be nice to have another settings in the admin panel to enable / disable a confirmation while backing up links to WBM to prevent potential mistakes, having this setting would allow people to choose so no one would be annoyed from a confirmation before each time they archive.

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

Well, beside changing the configuration every times I don't see what else I could do.
Mainly looking for something more efficient than editing the conf each time I need to toggle WBM backups

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

There is already an option on the add page to select the archive methods, just Ctrl + A to select them all then deselect the way back machine.

Oh, I did not notice that.
Sorry for the useless issue then and thank you for maintaining the project !

Are there any reasons for the lower activity on the project ? Does that mean anything regarding the project in the long run ?

No, I'm just on an extended vacation / travel for the last year+ and haven't been coding. This is still a main project for me long-term though, full intention to continue maintaining and improving it over the next 5+ years.

The dev branch is also fairly active with contributor fixes (but I haven't rolled a master release in a while).
