URL and target window caches

URLs menu

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 URLs 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 Windows 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.

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'.
