Installation

Requirements

URL Manager Pro 3.0 requires Mac OS X or Mac OS 9. URL Manager Pro 2.8 is available for Mac OS 8 users. The application size of URL Manager Pro 3.0 is around 2 Mb, including help books.

Installing

There is only but one step:

Note: on Mac OS X, you will also want to install the Mondriaan menu extra or 'menulet'. On Mac OS 9, you will also want to install the Mondriaan Control Strip Module.

For more information, go to the Mondriaan Web Page.

Note: You will also want to drag & drop the Contextual Menu Manager (CMM) Plug-in named Add Bookmark, found in the Add-Ons folder of the URL Manager Pro folder, to the Contextual Menu Items folder. Its full path is:

For more information, go to the Add Bookmark CMM Plug-in Web Page.

To use URL Manager Pro, simply double-click the application icon.

When URL Manager Pro is first run, it installs the Shared Menus Component. If URL Manager Pro fails to install the component, please install the component manually. You can find the Shared Menus Component in the URL Manager Pro folder. Its full path needs to be: ~/Library/Components/ (see below).

Secondly, I strongly advice you store all your Bookmark files in a folder named Bookmarks in your Documents folder. The Documents folder always exists and was created by your Mac OS install. Please create a Bookmarks folder in your Documents folder.

Furthermore, I suggest your create two more folders in your Bookmarks folder. One named Cabinet and one named Startup Items. Put your main bookmark file in the folder Startup Items and your other Bookmark files in the Cabinet folder.

Below you can see how your heirarchy of Bookmark files should look like:

The URL Manager Pro folder includes a folder called Startup Items containing a Bookmark file called Sample. Sample contains a small collection of Bookmarks, which are used in the tutorial Getting Started. These Bookmarks will also be useful to help you get started exploring the Web with URL Manager Pro.

Please move the file Sample to the Startup Items folder as defined in the above hierarchy when you want to follow the Getting Started tutorial.

User's Guide

The User's Guide is part of the URL Manager Pro package. Choose the commands:

from the Help menu in URL Manager Pro.

However, the Help Viewer is not a very good tool to print the User's Guide. Fortunately, a version in Acrobat PDF format is also available.

Memory considerations on Mac OS 9
URL Manager Pro runs in a memory partition of around 2048K. If you have large Bookmark files, or want to have many Bookmark files open at the same time, you can increase the memory partition size. To check URL Manager Pros memory usage, select Environment Info from the File menu.

URL Manager Pro works with popular Internet applications, including Netscape 4.x, Microsoft Internet Explorer, iCab and Opera. Because URL Manager Pro is not an extension to your Internet applications, but a standalone program, it does not consume memory when you are not using it.

Application Defaults
URL Manager Pro uses as Web browser the Preferred Browser setting of the Mac OS. By default, this is Microsoft Internet Explorer. This setting can be overridden in the URL Manager Pro Preferences Window (see Preferences). LL2H Monaco3Z3Z*sLL2SORTR2MPSR
