About GrabNet 2.0


Cascade
Notice how the Folder windows are resized and cascaded.


Configuring GrabNet

When you double-click on a GrabNet object (such as a URL, image or text object), GrabNet will send the object's URL to the Web browser so you can see the page from where the object was grabbed.

To tell GrabNet the location of the Web browser, use the Preferences... option from the Options menu.  On the Preferences dialog, click on the Browse... button.  You will see the standard file selection dialog.  Navigate to the Web browser directory and select the executable program file.  Select OK twice.


Control-menu box
Notice the Control-menu box in the upper-left corner of the folder window.


Delete folder confirmation dialog


Drag and Drop

You can use Drag and Drop in several different ways to make the manipulation of GrabNet objects very easy and intuitive.

You can create a URL object in GrabNet by dragging a page link URL directly from the Web browser to the desired GrabNet folder.

You can move objects, including folders, to a different folder by dragging them to the new location.

You can copy objects, including folders, to a different folder by holding down the Ctrl key while dragging them to the new location.

You can move objects to a different location within the same folder by dragging them to the new location.  This will work only if you have selected View / By User Defined Order.


Drag and Drop To and From Other Applications

You can move GrabNet objects to and from other applications that support drag & drop.  Some applications which support drag & drop include Web browsers (like Netscape) and word processors (like Word 6.0).  This can be useful when sharing GrabNet objects with other users.

These objects can then be dropped back into any GrabNet application window so it can be used by (another) GrabNet.  For more information on dragging and dropping GrabNet objects, refer to Drag and Drop.


Edit / Clear

The Clear option on the Edit menu allows you remove multiple GrabNet objects, including folders.  It can also be used to remove text from an object's properties.  You can also clear the selected objects or text by pressing the Delete key.

For more information on how to remove multiple objects, refer to How do I Clear Multiple Objects?  For more information on how to use this menu option when modifying an object's properties, refer to Editing Object Properties.

The Edit / Clear command does not place the deleted items or text in the Clipboard, so they cannot be pasted with the Paste command.


Edit / Copy

The Copy option on the Edit menu allows you duplicate a single URL object, a text object or an image object.  This option can also be used to copy text from an object's properties.  Multiple objects and folders cannot be copied.

 or select the Up Arrow icon on the GrabNet Toolbar to move "up" to the parent folder.

2.	When you are in the correct folder, pasting the object can be accomplished three different ways.  You can:

a) select the Paste icon on the Toolbar,

or b) select Paste from the Edit menu,

or c) press Ctrl+V on the keyboard.

Do not select Paste with URL as this may paste the wrong URL with the copied object.


How do I Sort Objects?

By default, all GrabNet objects in a folder are displayed in alphabetical order according to the object Label.  You can change the order to sort the objects by Origin, Kind, Last Visit Date or User Defined Order.

Sorting Objects by Label

This option arranges them alphabetically according to the text in the Label field of each object.

If several objects in the same folder have the same Label, they will be sorted alphabetically according to the text in the Origin field.  If the Label field is blank on an object, it will appear at the beginning of the folder list.

To sort the objects by Label, select By Label from the View menu.

You can also sort objects by Label by double-clicking on the Label column heading.

Sorting Objects by Origin

This option arranges them alphabetically according to the text in the Origin field of each object.

If several objects in the same folder have the same Origin, they will be sorted alphabetically according to the text in the Label field.  If the Origin field is blank on an object, it will appear at the beginning of the folder list.

To sort the objects by Origin, select By Origin from the View menu.

You can also sort objects by Origin by double-clicking on the Origin column heading.

Sorting Objects by Kind

This option arranges them within each folder according to the type of object.  Subfolders will appear first, followed by URL objects, image objects and then text objects.

Within each Kind, the objects are sorted in alphabetical order according to the text in the Label field of each object.

To sort the objects by Kind, select By Kind from the View menu.

Sorting Objects by Last Visit Date

This option arranges them chronologically according to the date the object was last used to access that location using the Web browser.  This information is updated from your browser's Global History file at GrabNet startup, and anytime you navigate to it from GrabNet.

The most recently accessed objects are sorted to the top of each folder list.  The Last Visit date is displayed on the far right of the List view, as well as in the Properties dialog box.

Make sure the objects are displayed in the List mode by selecting the List icon.  If the creation date is not visible, you may scroll right in the List, or use the Magnifying Glass icon to turn off the Viewer.

To sort the objects by Date, select By Last Visit Date from the View menu.

You can also sort objects by Last Visit Date by double-clicking on the Last Visit Date column heading.

Sorting Objects by User Defined Order

This option allows you to rearrange the objects in the current window within each folder to any order you choose.

The initial order for this view uses the object's creation date with the oldest at the top of each folder list.  When importing bookmarks from the Web browser, the User Defined Order exactly matches the order you had in the browser.  Grabbed objects are then added to the bottom of the folder list as they are created.

To sort the objects by User Defined Order, select By User Defined Order from the View menu.

To rearrange the objects, hold down the Ctrl key while dragging the object and drop it on the object that you wish it to be above.  During this process the cursor changes to a 4-headed arrow.


How do I Sweep an Image?

This procedure will grab any portion of the Web page and place it in a GrabNet folder as an image object.

This image object can contain any combination of text, images and links.  The page title and URL will automatically be attached to the image object.

1.	Navigate to the GrabNet folder where you want the image object to be placed.  For more information on folder navigation, refer to Working with Folders.

If all of the GrabNet windows are closed (and not just hidden), the image object will be placed in the Home folder.

2.	Display the page you wish to sweep in the Web browser.

3.	If the GrabNet Window is obscuring part of your desired image, hide the Window by clicking on the Minimize arrow in the upper right corner.  You can also close the GrabNet Window instead of minimizing it.

4.	Creating the image object can be initiated three different ways.  You can:

a) select the Camera icon on the GrabNet Palette,

or b) select the Camera icon on the GrabNet Toolbar.  However, you cannot use the Camera icon on the Toolbar when the GrabNet Window is hidden.

or c) Select Image from the Grab menu.  As above, the GrabNet Window cannot be hidden when using the menu.

5.	Hold down the left button and drag the mouse to select the area on the Web page.  A box with a dotted outline will appear.

6.	When you release the mouse button, an image object of the swept area is created in the GrabNet folder.


Importing Bookmarks

GrabNet can import the bookmarks from your Web browser to create URL objects in the current GrabNet folder.  If your bookmarks are arranged with headers, each header will be created as a separate GrabNet folder.

The bookmarks will be imported into the current GrabNet folder.  At any time you can rearrange the objects and folders by dragging them to different locations.

To import the bookmarks into GrabNet, follow these steps:

1.	Select the Import option from the File menu.  Then select the appropriate Web browser (Netscape or Mosaic.)

2.	You will see the standard file selection dialog.  Navigate to the Web browser directory, then select the bookmark file.

3.	Select OK twice.  The bookmarks are imported into GrabNet as folders and URL objects.

Object Navigation

An object is any item in a GrabNet folder.  It can be another folder, a URL object with a page title, or an image or text object that may include its source URL and page title.

Since most GrabNet objects contain the URL to their source, you can use the objects to navigate the Web browser back to that location.

To navigate to an object's URL, double-click on the object.  This will make the Web browser the active application and have it display the page where you originally grabbed the object.


Object Properties

Every GrabNet object has several properties.  The following panels describe those properties.  To view these properties, select Properties... from the Options menu.  To edit these properties, refer to Editing object properties.

URL, Image and Text Object Properties
