Bookmarks
The Bookmark Tab

Use the Bookmark tab to edit and save bookmarks and to select the current Bookmark File and current Folder. The bookmark tab is normally displayed when URL2Net is started, with the Windows clipboard already decoded, using IntelliParse into URL and Description.

Folder

Displays the current Folder Use the down arrow to display the list of folders in the current Bookmark File and select a new current Folder

URL

The URL of the new bookmark, grabbed from the clipboard or entered manually, is displayed here.

A bookmark must have a URL before it can be saved.

Description

The descriptive portion of the new bookmark, grabbed from the clipboard or entered manually, is displayed here.

If a description is not entered the URL is used as the description when the bookmark is saved.

Your Web Browser displays the description when viewing your bookmarks.

Save

The new bookmark is added to the current folder in the current bookmark file.

The URL is checked against a list of valid Resource Types maintained by URL2Net before the bookmark is saved.

The Check for Duplicate URL flag may cause a duplicate URL check to be performed before the bookmark is saved.

The URL and Description fields are cleared after the bookmark has been saved.

Name

Clear

Multiple URL/Single URL

Switches between Single URL (default) and Multiple URL modes

Input fields for ftp applications, WS_FTP for example, are described here


Multiple URL decoding

Messages containing multiple Internet addresses can easily be decoded by making use of the Multiple URL features of URL2Net.

Simply select and copy all of the addresses to the Windows clipboard, start, or select, URL2Net then click the Multiple URL button.

A second window is displayed, containing the entire clipboard content. In 32 bit URL2Net the URL are highlighted.

Select from this window the text of the first bookmark and click the Grab Multi. button. The selected text is decoded into the main URL2Net Bookmark window as though it was captured directly from the clipboard. In 32 bit URL2Net the selected text is coloured to show the bookmarks you have already processed.

In the main Bookmark window edit the bookmark if necessary and save as usual. The next bookmark can then be processed from the Multiple URL window.

Once all bookmarks have been processed click the Single URL button to return to the classic URL2Net display.

The bar between the main Bookmark window and the Multiple URL window can be scrolled from side to side, and the entire URL2Net display increased in size so that a comfortable view of both windows can be achieved.

32 bit URL2Net offers a number of additional features.

The various colours and fonts displayed in the Multiple URL window can be customised by right clicking within the window and selecting fonts or colours from the popup menu.

Files containing bookmarks can be dragged and dropped onto the Multiple URL window.

File fragments may also be dragged from compliant 32 programs onto the Multiple URL window


FTP Tools

WS_FTP and other FTP applications need a different set of inputs from web browsers. URL and Description are replaced by the following fields-

Profile Name

The descriptive name for the bookmark.

A profile name must be entered.

Host Name

The name of the ftp site.

A Host Name must be entered.

Remote Dir

The starting directory at the ftp site

Local Dir

The directory on your system that will receive files transferred from the ftp site.

Use the browse ... button to select this directory.

Host Name and Remote Dir are decoded from the URL portion of the Windows clipboard. The Profile Name is taken from the filename (if any) part of the URL plus the Description.


Resource Types

Each URL is checked against a list of valid Resource Types maintained by URL2Net. A message is displayed if the Resource Type of the URL is not recognised giving the option to add this new Resource Type to URL2Net’s list before adding the bookmark, or to ignore the Resource Type list and add the bookmark

These Resource Type definitions are distributed with URL2Net

http

https

ftp

gopher

mailto

mid

cid

news

nntp

prospero

telnet

wais


Resource Prefix
Resource Prefixes

This table, contained in the Win 95/Windows NT registry or in the URL2Net initialisation file (URL2Net.ini), is used to support IntelliParse

The table contains a list of common URL prefixes and associated Resource Types. The following definitions are distributed with URL2Net.

www.	http://

ftp.	ftp://

gopher.	gopher://

In addition, e-mail addresses containing an ‘@’ symbol are decoded by

IntelliParse as though they were prefixed by mailto:


 IntelliParse

URL2Net features advanced algorithms used for decoding the Windows Clipboard or Command Line parameter into URL and Description.

The clipboard is searched using the tables of Resource Types and Resource Prefixes to identify the URL.

Often, the URL is incorrectly stated in the message being decoded. URL2Net will apply a set of rules to present a correctly formatted URL on the Bookmark Tab URLs that have been corrected in this way are highlighted in red on the Bookmark Tab.

These URL are all decoded by URL2Net

http://www.starcourt.co.uk

http//www.starcourt.co.uk

www.starcourt.co.uk

194.153.3.231

mailto:info@starcourt.co.uk

info@starcourt.co.uk

IntelliParse only operates when the clipboard is being grabbed, or if Clean Up URL is selected. You may edit the URL as required to cope with any peculiar addressing requirement.

Check for Duplicate URL

Setting this option causes URL2Net to check through the current Bookmark File before a new bookmark is saved to see if the URL of the new bookmark has already been added to the bookmark file. A message is displayed if a duplicate URL is found, giving the option to save the bookmark or to return to the Bookmark Tab without saving.

Grab Clipboard on Restore

Set this option to decode the Windows clipboard whenever URL2Net is restored to a normal sized window from a minimised Windows 3.1 Icon, or from a minimised Win 95 task bar entry.

This setting is ignored if the bookmark has been altered but not yet saved.

Use IntelliParse

Set this option to enable IntelliParse

New Bookmark First

Adds the new bookmark to the beginning of the current Folder This setting has no  effect if the target browser displays bookmarks in alphabetical order.

Name/Description Split

Causes the bookmark to be saved in a URL/Name/Description format fully compatible with the Netscape Bookmark editor.

Auto Select FTP file

URL2Net will automatically select an FTP format file whenever an ftp site is decoded

Make FTP Site default

Your ftp software will display the ftp site details just saved when next started

Use Holding File if Netscape is running

When Netscape is running URL2Net is unable to save bookmarks to the default Netscape bookmark file. Bookmarks are instead written to a holding file and then added to the Netscape bookmark file once Netscape closes. URL2Net will maintain this file from session to session until it detects that Netscape is not running.

Load to Menu Bar

URL2Net will start up as a floating menu bar on top of all other applications.

Exit after Save

URL2Net will terminate after a bookmark is saved.

Minimise after Save

If this option is set URL2Net will be minimised to a Windows 3.1 Icon, or a Win 95 task bar entry, after a bookmark is saved.

Minimise to Menu Bar

If this option is set URL2Net will be displayed as a floating menu bar on top of all other applications after a bookmark has been saved.

Minimise to System Tray

URL2Net will minimise to an icon in the system tray area (next to the time display) on the Win95 taskbar


Popup
The Popup Tab

Whilst minimised, URL2Net can automatically check the content of the Windows Clipboard and popup when a new bookmark is found.

Select 'Watch for New Bookmarks and Popup' to enable this feature.

Select the URL types that you would like URL2Net to check for from the list of available URL Prefixes by using the arrow keys. URL2Net will only popup if it finds a URL containing on of the types in the 'Selected for Popup' list.

New prefixes can be added to the 'Available for Popup' list using the 'New Prefix' button.

URL2Net does not continuously monitor the clipboard, rather it checks the clipboard every few seconds for a new bookmark. Altering the value shown in the 'Popup Delay' field can vary this delay.  Lowering this value will cause URL2Net to use more of your PC's resources and may result in a noticeable drop in performance. Raise the value to reduce the performance impact.

URL2Net can be set to check only the first few bytes of the clipboard for a potential bookmark. Alter the value in the 'Maximum Size' field to vary the number of bytes checked. Raising this value will cause URL2Net to use more of your PC's resources and may result in a noticeable drop in performance. Lower the value to reduce the performance impact.
