3.4 Using Voyager's Menus

There are four menus: Voyager, Windows, Bookmarks, and Settings.

3.41 Voyager Menu About displays Voyager's About page. Hotkey: Amiga-? Cache List directs Voyager to an internal page which lists every page currently held in the On-Disk Cache. If your maximum cache size (see Settings) is large, then this page may take a while to be constructed. Links displayed on this page are live - click on them to send Voyager to them. CacheBrowser runs Voyager's CacheBrowser, which is used to view the contents of Voyager's cache. It's simple to use, you select a file by left-clicking it, and then select the operation you'd like to perform - Copy the selection to an external file, or View it using Multiview (OS3.0+ only). You may also alter the way CacheBrowser orders its listing. Hotkey: Amiga-C Quit tells Voyager that you'd like to exit as soon as it's possible. There may be a slight delay if Voyager is busy performing some tasks while it finishes them. Hotkey Amiga-Q 3.42 Windows Menu Open New Window opens a completely new Voyager window, which inherits the original's preferences. It is subject to MUI's settings, so you can direct it to another screen if needed. Operation is asynchronous - all windows work at the same time. Hotkey: Amiga-O Open Local File opens a file requestor, expecting a local HTML file to be chosen, which will then be displayed as normal. Hotkey: Amiga-H Show Current Document's Source opens a window used to display the HTML source for the current page. This is also asynchronous, Voyager can carry on as normal. Hotkey: Amiga-X Save as HTML opens a file requestor to save the current page in its original HTML format. Hotkey: Amiga-W Save as ASCII Text opens a file requestor to save the current page in ASCII text format. All HTML codes are removed, and only text Voyager would usually display is saved. Hotkey: Amiga-T Activate other Voyagers shows an entry for all active Voyager windows. Selecting a window makes it active, and pops it to the front. Each entry contains the Voyager window number, and the current URL. 3.43 Bookmarks Menu Open Bookmarks opens the Bookmarks GUI. Hotkey: Amiga-B Goto Bookmarks directs Voyager to an internal page that lists all of your bookmarks in the main listview. The links are active, you can click on them to go to those pages. BookMark Custom allows you to configure a selection of URLs you would like to be in this menu, using the Bookmark function. 3.44 Settings Menu Settings opens up Voyager's preferences editor. Please see the configuring Voyager page. Show Fastlinks toggles Voyager's Fastlink buttons just above Voyager's main display. The Fastlinks buttons are custom configured in the Settings. Load HTML Images Directly is selectable, on or off. When on, Voyager will attempt to load all images on the current page without any user prompting. If this option is switched off, you can tell Voyager to load all the images in a page by clicking on the Images Button. Hotkey: Amiga-I Autoview Images/Anims/Audio allows you to choose whether Voyager simply saves out any downloaded data when off, or to automatically pipe it to Multiview when on. This only applies to data which Voyager is told by the server is an image, animation, or audio file. Any "application" file, for example an LHA archive, is always downloaded. Hotkey: Amiga-V Ask for Downloads prompts for a path every time data is to be saved out if Autoview is off, otherwise it will be saved right away to the default download directory. Hotkey: Amiga-D User Access Authorization enables Voyager to send the username and password for every HTTP access when enabled. This is useful for secure sites where access to some areas is restricted unless the user is known to the server. Hotkey: Amiga-A Set Authorization Parameters... opens a small GUI allowing you to set the username and password to be used for Voyager's Access Authorisation function. Hotkey: Amiga-S MUI Settings activates MUI's preferences program to work specifically on the Voyager window which activated the settings via this menu option.
