Documentation of the two new PlugIns
1. Bookmarks-PlugIn
===================
With this PlugIn you can integrate the bookmark tree of your favourite
Web-Browser in the Start-Menu. That means if you want to jump to
another link you just chose one out of the Start-Menu and magic
ARexx-Communications make the browser contact the link.
As I wanted it to be as flexible as possible a few configuration
options have to be specified:
AREXXCONFIG/A
-------------
This string defines some communication issues between ScreenTab and
the browser in the following format:
<Port>,<Cmd1>,<Cmd2>
Port = this is the name of the ARexx-Port of the Web-Browser
Cmd1 = this is the ARexx-Command for opening a new window in the
browser including the link where to jump
Cmd2 = this is the ARexx-Command for going to another URL
I've tried the following strings with my configuration (%s is
dynamically replaced by the chosen URL):
IBrowse: "IBROWSE,newwindow %s,gotourl %s"
Voyager: "VOYAGER,openurl %s new,openurl %s"
AWeb: ???
FILE/A
------
The file containing the bookmarks (for IBrowse-Users: it's the
file ibrowse-hotlist.html).
STARTUP
-------
This is an ARexx-Script which will be started if ScreenTab can't find
the port of the browser (= browser hasn't been started yet).
Example for IBrowse:
/* ARexx-Script to launch IBrowse */
address 'command'
if ~show("p","IBROWSE") then do
'run Work:Internet/IBrowse/IBrowse'
end
LINKIMAGE
---------
If an image should be displayed in front of the link then enter here
the name/path of the image (if IMAGEDIR-Tooltype is set the name of
the image is sufficient)
DELAY/N
-------
If the browser is launched via the STARTUP-Script it is necessary to
wait until the specified port is available. Here you can enter the time
after which this waiting delay is cancelled. The value depends on how
fast is the launching process of the browser, normally 10 to 15 seconds
is sufficient (or are you using a floppy disk ?).
NEWWINDOW/S
-----------
When this switch is set every chosen link gets a new browser window;
otherwise the active window will be used.
2. WipeDir
==========
Well, quite self-explaining I think. It's simple but useful if
you want to delete the files and sub-dirs quickly after checking out
an archive.
!! PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THIS PLUGIN !!! Especially when you've turned
!! off the confirmation. It REALLY wipes the directory !!! So don't
!! specify SYS: or Work: as the directory unless you have a good backup
!! tool :)
Parameters:
DIRECTORY/A
-----------
Directory to be wiped.
CONFIRM/S
---------
Ask the user for confirmation before wiping the directory.
PROTECTED/S
-----------
Also delete protected files (those with protection bit set).
