The preferences window

The Preferences window is split into two panels. The Optional Optimizations panel and the Miscellaneous panel

The Optimizations panel

The Optimizations panel allows you to customize VSE Web Site Turbo to your personal needs.

Select an optimization option in the list box by clicking the checkbox. The Selected Option groupbox below the listbox explains how many bytes you can save with the currently selected option and wheter that option is HTML 4.0 compliant or not.

The two check boxes on the top of the window let you quickly select certain options.

The Save Folder panel

Here you can specify the location for the optimized files. Click the Ask button to let VSE HTML Turbo ask you each time to which folder the optimized files should be saved.

If you always want to use the same folder, click the Use button and click the button to the right to select a new location for the optimized files. If you have never changed this setting, the optimized files will be created in the Desktop Folder of your start volume.

The optimized files will always be saved in a folder called “VSE Web Site Turbo Optimized Files”. If a document with the same name already exists, a new folder called “001” (,“002”, etc.) will be created.

The Remove Tags panel

If you want VSE Web Site Turbo to remove certain tags from your documents, enter them in this panel.

The Ignore Files panel

If you ever have problems with a special web page or with a file in your web site folder and VSE Web Site Turbo, you can enter the name of that file in that panel.

Click the “Add File” button and select a web page, an image or another file. VSE Web Site Turbo will ignore that files with that name when optimizing your documents and copy them unmodified to the “VSE Web Site Turbo Optimized Files” folder. Click the “Add Folder” button and VSE Web Site Turbo will ignore folders with that name.

The Miscellaneous panel

The Misellaneous panel allows you to set preferences that have nothing to do with the optimization process.

Show about window at startup

If you deselect this option, VSE Web Site Turbo won't display the Spash-Screen at startup.

Generate report

If you want VSE Web Site Turbo to create a report after the optimization process, select this option.

Change creator popup menu

When you double-click an optimized file it will be opened by a different application than the one it was created before.

For example, if you choose “Netscape Navigator” in the popup menu, the optimized file will be opened by “Netscape Navigator” when you double-click on its icon.

<NOOP> … </NOOP>

NOOP is short for no optimization. If you want to preserve a critical section of your HTML code, use the proprietary <NOOP> </NOOP> tag pair.

Just enclose the critical HTML code in <NOOP> </NOOP> tag pairs, as follows: <NOOP><!-- Important copyright message, which should not be removed --></NOOP>

Of course, the proprietary tags will be removed in the optimized document. You can use the tag pair as often as you want in each document.
