WebChecker Groups

WebChecker lets you organize your bookmarks into "groups".  You can organize them into pages checked daily, every half hour, or however you desire.  You can have as many groups as you want.

Adding your Bookmarks

Once you've started WebChecker, you'll need to enter your favorite web pages into WebChecker.  There are several ways you can do this:

1)  Drag and drop them from your Web browser.  From either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, drag bookmarks from the web browser to a WebChecker window.
2)  Type 'em in.  Click on the "Add Page" button, and the page edit dialog will appear.  Type a web page in with a description, and click "OK" to save it.
3)  Visit them with your web browser, and tell WebChecker to remember them.

Setting the checking parameters

You can check web pages manually to see if they've changed, but you can also have WebChecker do it for you.  WebChecker can check web pages whenever you launch WebChecker, or at user-selectable periods.

 





Checking At Launch

If selected, WebChecker will check the web pages in the group every time you launch WebChecker.

Check Frequently

If selected, WebChecker will check the web pages in the group periodically.

Handling Errors

Sometimes WebChecker cannot check a web page because of various problems.  If an error occurs, you can have WebChecker notify you.

 






Open Group

When checked, the group window will be opened (if it was closed) if an error occurs.

Play Sound

When selected, the specified sound will be played when an error occurs while checking web pages in the group.

Updated Page Notification

When WebChecker finds a modified page, it can notify you in a variety of ways.

 






Open Group

If WebChecker detects an updated page, it will open the group (if its window was closed).

Launch browser

WebChecker will launch your selected browser, with the first modified web page it found.

Play Sound

Naming The Group

 


You can provide a name to each group you create.  The name of the group is listed in the window's title bar.
