Saved files

Site map data is saved in several files. If you save a report as “yourname.site” you end up with:

  • yourname.site contains site structure, page titles and other information.
  • A folder called yourname containing HTML pages and images. This also contains the thumbnails for each scanned page.

Command line

The command line options for the desktop app are:

  • Mapper.exe File.site loads the given sitemap file
  • Mapper.exe https://example.com/ loads the given URL
  • Mapper.exe /Automap c:\Example\File.site loads the sitemap file, remaps the site, saves the sitemap back to the same location, then quits
  • Mapper.exe /Automap /Export "C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerMapper Software\PowerMapper 6\Exports\Maps\!Google Sitemap.xml.xsl" c:\Example\File.site loads the site file, remaps the site, exports an XML sitemap, saves the site file back to the same location, then quits

Note: The filename after the /Export flag must be the name of an XSL file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerMapper Software\PowerMapper 6\Exports\Maps directory.
