Windows

Add Bookmark Window

When the Add notes option is enabled (see Preferences from the Diamond Shared Menu), the Add Bookmark... command of the Diamond Shared Menu and the Add Bookmark... command of the Bookmarks Shared Menu display the Add Bookmark Window (see below).

When using the Add Bookmark... command from the Diamond Shared Menu, the Bookmark will be added to the Drop Basket folder. When using the Add Bookmark... command from one of the submenus of your Bookmarks Shared Menu, the Bookmark will be stored directly in the corresponding folder. In the example below, the Bookmark will be stored in the "Newspapers" folder.

By default, the title of the Web page is displayed as the name of the bookmark, but you can enter any text you wish.

In the empty box underneath, the note field, you can enter a description of this Bookmark. This is useful for keeping pertinent information about this Bookmark.

Note: The note field can contain up to 255 characters.

Press Add to actually add the Bookmark to your Bookmark file.

Get Info Window

To see a Get Info Window, first select a Bookmark, then choose Get Info from the Bookmarks menu. Going from top to bottom, you see the following items:

Note: If you add a text to the Note field, a Clipboord icon will be displayed just to the left of the Bookmark's URL in the main bookmark window.

Tip: If Balloon Help is switched on, you can read the contents of Bookmark note simply by passing the mouse pointer over the Cliboard icon. The text of the note will be displayed in a Balloon Window.

Bookmark attributes
The attributes box displays technical information about a Bookmark.

Always Reload
Switch this option on to force your browser to ignore a cached copy of this Web page and force reloading. Check this option for Web pages that you know are updated frequently, such as those on the Web site of newspaper, for example. Default: off

Lock URL
Switch this option on if you do not want to validate this URL and want this URL fixed. Default: off

Non Anonymous Access
Switch this option on to add a username and password to this Bookmark. Two fields, Username and Password, will be displayed. Fill these in as appropriately. You can use this feature for password-protected Web pages. URL Manager Pro will add the username and password to the Keychain. When you later open this bookmark, URL Manager Pro will look up the username and password in the Keychain. Default: off

Note: URL Manager Pro supports he Apple Keychain

Query Type
A URL can be a query. This URL does not point to a static Web page but submits a request for information, usually to an online database, the moment you select this URL. The Web page that is displayed is generated dynamically, that is to say, it displays the information, which is found in the database at that very moment. As a result, the results of a query can change from day to day. If you switch Query Type option on, the icon of the Bookmark will change, and a question mark will be displayed. This is to help you remember that this Bookmark is a query.

Example: for example, this URL you would give the Query Type icon:

http://finance.yahoo.com/m5?a=1&s=USD&t=EUR&c=0

which gives you the exchange rate of the Euro against the Dollar.

Tip: A typical Query Bookmark is a URL containing an AltaVista query. When you enter one or more keywords in the AltaVista search field and click search, AltaVista composes, on the fly, a URL out of this query. When its search results are displayed, you will see this URL, which can be rather long, in the Location line of your Web browser. If you save this URL as a Bookmark in URL Manager Pro, you save the query too. The next time you open this Bookmark, the query will automatically be submitted to the AltaVista search engine and the results will be displayed.

Added On
Date the Bookmark or folder was created on your system.

Last Checked
The date at which this URL was last validated by using the Validate command of the Bookmarks menu.

Note: This date is not the date of the most recent visit.

Browser popup menu
You can use this popup menu to associate a bookmark with a specific browser. The browser popup menu lists the browsers: Default, Explorer, Netscape, iCab, Opera and OmniWeb. By default, a browser is opened in your preferred browser, a setting in Preferences/Internet. However, when you select a browser from the popup menu, the bookmark will be opened in that specific browser instead.

Add/Edit...
Use this button to edit username and password of a bookmark. The Keychain will be updated with the new information.

In addition to the information displayed about a Bookmark, the Get Info Window also has four navigation buttons, at the upper right-hand corner of the window. These enable you to move to the next or the proceeding Bookmark without having to open and close the Get Info Window.

History Window

The History window maintains a list of the Web pages you have visited. The History is helpful to help you backtrack when you are surfing the Web. Sometimes, you will forget to make a Bookmark for a Web page. With History, you can find the page again easily. By default, History keeps the last one thousand URLs you have visited.

Note: URL Manager Pro tracks the History of all open browsers (Explorer, OmniWeb, Navigator, Opera and iCab) simultaneously.

Tip: To make URL Manager Pro load faster, you can configure History in the Preferences Window to maintain the list of only the last one hundred URLs you have visited.

You can perform many of the same commands on Bookmarks in the History window as Bookmarks in the Bookmarks window, including Find. Two useful commands for the History window are displayed in small popup menus at the bottom of the History window.

Sort
The Sort menu offers you four sorting criteria for the History window: Name, URL, Date, and Label. By default, the History window is unsorted, but Bookmarks will generally be displayed in the order in which you visited sites.

History Enabled/Disabled
With these commands you can toggle History on and off.

Tip: For reasons of confidentiality, it may be useful to switch the History off temporarily. It is also possible to delete URLs individually from History by selecting a URL and using the Clear command in the Edit menu or by pressing Backspace. This is useful if a URL contains a password to a protected site and your computer is used by other people.

Favorites Window

To open the Favorites Window, choose Edit Favorites... from the Edit menu. This window contains five tabs: Favorites, Explore, Friends, FTP and Daily.

These tabs are designed for Bookmarks. To add a Bookmark to one these five tabs, first click the appropriate tab and then drag it from a document window and drop it on the Favorites Window. You can access these favorites sets of bookmark via the Diamond Shared Menu.

You can also access the Bookmarks stored on Favorites tabs by means of menu extra or menulet Mondriaan (Mac OS X) or the Control Strip Module Mondriaan (Mac OS 9). Mondriaan allows you to access these Bookmarks even when URL Manager Pro is not running.

IAD

The Mondriaan menu extra or 'menulet'

Favorites
The Bookmarks displayed in the Favorites tab will also be displayed in the Favorites submenu found on the Diamond Shared Menu in your web browser.

Explore
You can also access the Bookmark icons displayed on the Explore tab using URL Manager Pro's Explore menu. Explore is also a submenu of the Diamond Shared Menu in your web browser.

Tip: We have "pre-loaded" the Explore page for you with a collection of interesting Web sites you might find interesting to explore. As you explore the Web, feel free to replace our selection with Bookmarks of your own. Enjoy!

Friends
The Friends tab is designed for email address Bookmarks. To add an email address Bookmark this tab, drag it from the Bookmark window and drop it on the Favorites Window.

You can also access the email address Bookmarksdisplayed on the Friends tab using the Friends submenu on of the Diamond Shared Menu in your email program.

FTP
The FTP tab is designed for FTP site Bookmarks. To add an FTP Bookmark to this tab, drag it from the Bookmark window and drop it on the Favorites Window.

You can add a user ID and password for accessing protected FTP sites by selecting an FTP Bookmark on the FTP tab and clicking the User ID button next to the Favorites Window tabs. A dialog box will be displayed where you can enter your User ID and your Password.

Note: For security reasons, once you have entered your password, it will not be displayed if you click on the User ID button again or use the Get Info command.

Note: When the Keychain is installed, URL Manager Pro will store the User ID and Password in the Keychain instead of in the Bookmark file.

The Bookmarks displayed on the FTP tab of the Favorites Window will also be displayed in the Save As command under Remote on the File menu. You can also access the Bookmark icons displayed on the FTP tab using the FTP submenu on URL Manager Pro's Diamond Shared Menu in your FTP program.

Daily
The Daily tab is designed for a small number (say five) of Web sites that you would like to view everyday. If you click on the Browse All button, URL Manager Pro will open all the Web pages in separate windows in your Web browser.

The Read Daily command of the Diamond Shared Menus is functionally equivalent to the Browse All button.

Tip: Many of URL Manager Pro's Bookmark commands can be used in the Favorites pages as well, such as Add Bookmark and Insert Separator. You can also sort the Bookmarks you have here. However, you cannot add a folder to a Favorites page.

Tip: URL Manager Pro opens your Daily Bookmarks in separate Windows and they are loaded concurrently. You can start reading the Web page that loads first while the others are loading.

You can also access the Bookmarks stored on Favorites pages by means of URL Manager Pro's custom Control Strip Module Mondriaan (Mac OS 9) or menulet Mondriaan (Mac OS X). Mondriaan allows you to access these Bookmarks even when URL Manager Pro is not running.

For more information about Mondriaan, go to the Mondriaan Web Page.

Delete Window

The Delete... command of the Clean Up submenu is similar to the Delete Duplicates command in the Edit menu, but offers you a several additional options. To use the Delete... command, issue the Find Duplicates or Validate command first. These commands will check all the URLs in the current Bookmark file and mark them accordingly, such as whether a URL is a duplicate, is broken, etc. The Delete Window offers the following options:

Duplicate URLs
To delete all Duplicate URLs in the current Bookmark file, enable this option.
Broken Links
To delete all URLs with broken links in the current Bookmark file, enable this option.
Unknown Status
To delete all URLs with an unknown status in the current Bookmark file, enable this option.
Don't Delete but Move
This option gives you the opportunity to review URLs to be deleted. Instead of deleting them, they are moved to the Waste Basket.

Note: If you are certain the URLs marked using the Validate command are safe to delete, leave this option off, otherwise enable it.

Helper Dock

The URL Manager Pro Helper Dock puts all of your Internet applications within easy reach, just a mouse click or two away.

If you select Helper Dock from the Window menu, the Helper Dock will appear at the bottom of your screen. By default, it contains the following ten icons of your Internet applications.

To display the Helper Dock without labels, click the zoom box.

The first seven of these Internet applications are programs assigned in the Internet Control Panel (or in Internet Config for users of Mac OS versions prior to 8.5). These are the default applications for each of the seven URL protocols (see Uniform Resource Locators Explained).

The two applications on the right-hand side are Internet utilities: Remote Access and URL Manager Pro. The Remote Access icon opens a Control Panel to initiate a PPP connection. On Mac OS X and also when you have a direct connection to the Internet, the Remote Access icon is not shown.

Note: You can not configure the URL Manager Pro Helper Dock directly by dropping a program icon on it. You have to configure your Internet preferences using the Internet Control Panel. Changes to this will be reflected in the Helper Dock.

Note: Under Mac OS versions 8.5 and earlier, Helper Dock is a standard application window and can be covered or overlapped by other windows. On Mac OS 8.6 or higher, the Helper Dock is a true floating window.

Note: The floating window is hidden when URL Manager Pro is not active. To show the Helper Dock always, enable the preference 'Never Hide'.

Tip: By default, the Helper Dock is displayed horizontally. However, on the Look & Feel tab of the Preferences Window, you can configure Helper Dock to be displayed vertically.

To launch a program, double-click on its icon.

Tip: By default, you launch a program in the Helper Dock with a double mouse click. However, on the Look & Feel page of the Preferences Window, you can configure Helper Dock to launch programs with just one click.

The Helper Dock makes extensive use Drag & Drop. Using the mouse cursor, drag a Bookmark icon and drop it on a program icon. The program will be launched and open this URL. If you select multiple URLs, drag & drop them on a program icon, your Internet application will open these URLs in multiple windows.

Tip: You can Drag & Drop hypertext links from a Browser window to the URL Manager Pro application icon (the right-most icon).

Tip: If you drop an email Bookmark on a Helper Dock program icon, your email program will be launched with a new Message Window and the email address specified in this Bookmark in the To: field.

If you have the PPP Control Panel or Remote Access Control Panel installed, URL Manager Pro will automatically add this Control Panel to the Helper Dock.

On Mac OS X, the application 'Internet Connect' will be added to the Helper Dock.

If you place aliases to your AOL or CompuServe applications into the same folder as URL Manager Pro, the AOL or CompuServe icon will appear in the place of the PPP icon (Mac OS 9 only).
