The Bookmarks

Bookmarks

The bookmark GUI is activated by selecting Open from the Bookmarks menu or pressing the Amiga-B hotkey combination. From here URLs can be added, deleted and edited as your own WWW phone book. Entries made here can be doubled clicked upon to direct Voyager to that page but more commonly, they can be accessed via the Bookmarks page which is activated by selecting Goto BookMarks in the Bookmark menu or alternatively the Amiga-G hotkey.

In addition to this, there's a button on Voyagers control panel marked 'Add'. Pressing this will add the current page directly in as the last entry in the Bookmarks GUI.

The Bookmark editor has a small listview showing the heirarchy of marked pages (which is neatly displayed in the same way via the Internal Bookmark Page). A new Group can be added and named with the New Group button, Hotkey G. It can not have a URL assigned to it though. This is the name of a group which is named to house particular types of Bookmarks. For example we might want to keep Amiga related pages in a Group called 'Amiga WWW pages'. Click on NewGroup, call it 'Amiga WWW pages' and then add any pages underneath either by hand with the NewBookmark button (Hotkey B) or by navigating to them via Voyager in the normal fashion and clicking the 'Add' gadget on Voyager's control panel. It couldn't be easier. Groups and Bookmarks can be duplicated with the Duplicate button (Hotkey D) or Removed with the Remove button Hotkey R.

One Group may also be nominated as a Menu Group with the Menu button, Hotkey M. All Bookmarks in this group will appear at the bottom of the Bookmark menu and when selected from the menu will navigate Voyager to those pages.

Internal Bookmark Page
The Internal Bookmark Page, activated by the 'Goto Bookmarks' function in the bookmarks Menu, only requires a click on the name of a URL to navigate Voyager to those areas. The entry made in the Bookmarks GUI is named accordingly to the entry inserted in the BookMark GUI's 'Title' box where as the actual URL relating to this page can only be seen at the bottom of Voyager's screen with the mouse hovering over the link. The actual URL is entered into the Bookmark GUI's 'Name' box.
