------------------------------------------------
1. COMMAND-LINE OPERATION
+ To start the program minimized: Use the "Start program minimized"
option ('Interface' tab) or use the "-min" command-line argument.
The latter solution is especially useful if you place a shortcut
to VisitURL in the Windows StartUp folder.
------------------------------------------------
2. INSTALATION
After you have installed the program, start it by clicking
its icon in the Start menu. Ince inside the program:
a) Press F5 key to open tyhe Options dialog box and
adjust program configuration to your liking
b) From the "Help" menu choose "VisitURL setup",
and then "Install". This will open a dialog box
where you can perform basic program setup.
For instance, you will be able to associate
'.vis' files with visit.exe, and create shortcuts
to the program on the desktop and/or in the Startup
folder.
Notes:
1. The file "perlre.dll" must be unzipped to the same directory
in which you have put "visit.exe", or to the Windows "system"
directory (usually c:\windows\system).
2. The program requires the latest (at this point, February 1999)
version of the COMCTL32.DLL file, which is distributed with
Internet Explorer version 4.0 and above. (Version 4.72.xxx
or later is needed.) If you do not have this file, the program
will still work, but some functionality of the Explorer-like
listview may be disabled.
------------------------------------------------
3. ONLINE HELP
Currently, VisitURL has no online help. However, immediate help
is provided in the form of tooltip hints and hints displayed
in the status line (move the mouse pointer over an area of a window
to have the relevent hint displayed).
------------------------------------------------
4. BUGS, a.k.a. KNOWN ISSUES
+ In the Import dialog box, the "Anchors only" option is not implemented.
+ Automatic collecting of descriptions still needs some work. In particular,
when importing URLs from a non-HTML file, description must reside in the
same line of text as the URL. (This does not apply to descriptions gathered
from clipboard.)
+ A weird toolbar display bug occurs under the following conditions: If the
program is started in iconized form and you click the "Monitor clipboard"
option in the tray-icon menu before you restore the program window for the
first time - then (and only then) the toolbar display is mangled. I've
tried several fixes, in vain. Please note that if the bug occurs,
you may right-click over the toolbar area (it will look as an empty gray
strip with only one button on the left) and choose the "Flat buttons"
option from the menu, the toolbar will be redrawn correctly. The funny
thing is I cannot force this correct redraw when the application is hidden
(iconized). If you can help me fix this problem, I will greatly appreciate
if you email me at <marekjed@pobox.com>.
