URL and target window caches
HTML mode accumulates a list of the URLs you use in your HREFs, SRCs etc.,
and saves the list across invocations of Alpha so it can help you to insert
new URL attributes rapidly.
After a while the URL cache can get very large and you may want to remove
some URLs you do not need. The menu provide
a number of functions to manage the URL cache.
Similarly Alpha saves the names of the target window you use for frames.
These are managed using the menu.
Clean Up...
To remove URLs from the cache. A dialog box is opened, as shown below, with
a checkbox for each URL in your cache. Uncheck the ones you want to
remove. Click
Uncheck all to uncheck all
checkboxes. If there are more URLs in your cache than fit the window,
there is a button
Next>> to take you to the
next page, and a button
<<Prev to go back.
Clear
Removes all URLs from your
cache.
Import...
Lets you select a file and scans it to import
all URLs found to the URL cache.
Export...
Exports all URLs in the
cache to a file, which later can be imported.
If you create several files with URLs and want to move the URLs between
them, simply open the files and cut and paste between them.
Add Folder...
Adds the names of all
files in a folder to the URL cache. You can optionally add a path before
the file name. For example, if you have a folder 'pics' with images, you
might want to add 'pics/file.gif' to the cache rather than only
'file.gif'.
Add Selection
Adds the current
selection to the URL cache.
Add Clipboard
Adds the content of clipboard to
the URL cache.
