| How Should Links Operate? |
|
If you'd like all external / third party links to open in a
new browser window, choose "New Window" from the popup menu.
Else, choose "Same Window" to use the original AmphetaDesk window.
|
[$ if (get_setting("user_link_target") eq "_blank") { $OUT .= qq{
}; } else { $OUT .= qq{
}; } $]
|
| How Often Should AmphetaDesk Check Channels? |
|
AmphetaDesk automatically checks for new data from your
subscribed channels, by default, every three hours. If you'd like
to increase or decrease this time (to a minimum of once an hour),
enter the number of minutes here.

minutes
|
| Should AmphetaDesk Listen To Radio Userland requests? |
Fans of Radio Userland may
be familiar with the icon to the right, which can be clicked on for
automatic subscription to the linked RSS channel. AmphetaDesk can now
process these coffee cup requests (in
addition to the standard AmphetaDesk pill icon). This feature is off
by default so as not to conflict with existing Radio Userland
installations. Changes will take
effect the next time AmphetaDesk is run.
|
[$ if (get_setting("user_start_radio_webserver")) { $OUT .= qq{
}; } else { $OUT .= qq{
}; } $]
|
| Do You Use A Proxy Server? |
|
Some computers are configured to use a proxy server for
outside access to the Internet. If your computer is one
of them and you know the name of your proxy server, enter
it here and AmphetaDesk will use it for all FTP and HTTP
requests.
|
Example: http://www.proxyserver.com:8080/
|
|
Some proxy servers require a username and password before
being used. If your proxy requires this sort of authentication
for access to the Internet, enter your details here.
Note: Your proxy password is stored in plain text.

| Would You Like Servers To Know Who's Reading? |
|
Whenever AmphetaDesk makes a request for data, it can
optionally leave behind an "HTTP Referer" - basically,
something that says "my user was here". Many users leave
their personal web site address, which log analysis tools can
report back to the provider of the content you're reading. If
you'd like to leave a personal "calling card", enter a URL in
the box to the right - any future Internet request that
AmphetaDesk makes will send this information.
|
Example: http://www.myhomepage.com/weblog/
|
| What's The Full Path To Your Preferred Browser? |
|
If AmphetaDesk doesn't open your preferred browser, you may
enter the full path to the browser here. AmphetaDesk will try
to open that browser with the correct url. An entry of
"default" will use your computer's default setting.
|
Example: C:\Program~1\Mozilla\mozilla.exe
Example: MacHD:Internet Applications:iCab
Example: /usr/bin/netscape/netscape
|
| Should AmphetaDesk Be Accessible From Other Computers? |
|
AmphetaDesk can be usable solely by the computer it's
installed on, or you can allow it to be accessed by other
machines, handy if you've installed AmphetaDesk on a server
and want to use it from different locations throughout the
day. Anyone who knows your computer's IP address will have
full access. Changes will take effect the next time
AmphetaDesk is run.
|
[$ if (get_setting("user_allow_nonlocal_conn")) { $OUT .= qq{
}; } else { $OUT .= qq{
}; } $]
|
| How Long Before AmphetaDesk Gives Up? |
|
Each time AmphetaDesk contacts the outside world, it'll wait
a certain amount of time for a response from the remote
server before giving up. The default is 10 seconds but if
you'd like to increase or decrease this timeout, enter the
number of seconds here.
