Tweak

Top  Previous  Next

The Tweak section allows you to fine tune WebSite-Watcher, to enable special features or workarounds.

 

The Tweak section uses the format of ini files but without sections (name between "[" and "]"), simply make one or more entries without specifying a section. Changes in the Tweak section require a restart of WebSite-Watcher to take effect.

 

BrowserButtonMoveLeft=nnn

wsw-eye
With this setting you can horizontally move the WebSite-Watcher button that can be displayed in the browser title bar. nnn is the horizontal value in pixel. This is useful to avoid overlapping when other programs display buttons in the browser toolbar, too.

 

UnfocusedColorRGB=
Define the color (in RGB format) of selected, unfocused folders and bookmarks.
For example, UnfocusedColorRGB=ff0000 displays the unfocused selections in red.

 

UseProxyIfUrlExists=

If an URL is entered, WebSite-Watcher tries to access this URL before the first check run. If it is reachable, WebSite-Watcher will use the defined proxy settings (general options), otherwise WebSite-Watcher uses direct internet connection. If you place a "+" (without quotes) before this URL, it is validated with each check, otherwise this URL is only checked once until you restart WebSite-Watcher. This setting is used for the http and https protocol.

 

Examples:

UseProxyIfUrlExists=http://www.DOMAIN.com

UseProxyIfUrlExists=+http://www.DOMAIN.com

 

PerformCheckOnlyIfUrlExists=URL;ValidText

WebSite-Watcher checks the entered URL before a bookmark-check run is performed. The checked URL must contain the specified "ValidText" to ensure that this page is really available. If the specified text is not available in the page, a bookmark check run will not be performed. This feature is useful when you use different internet connections (eg. at different locations) and want to ensure that WebSite-Watcher can connect to the internet. The defined URL is only checked once (before the first check) until you restart WebSite-Watcher.

 

Example:

PerformCheckOnlyIfUrlExists=http://www.google.com;Advanced Search

 

This example downloads the page www.google.com and starts a bookmark check only if the page contains the phrase "Advanced Search".

 

BookmarkDblClickOpens=web|new
Alternative bookmark double click operation to open the online or new version of a page. Valid values are "web" and "new".

 

OpenUrlInsteadOfAlternativeUrl=1
If an "Alternative URL" is entered, then WebSite-Watcher will open the Bookmark URL instead of the "Alternative URL" when you open the online version of the bookmark.

 

BrowserActiveTabColorRGB=
Defines the color of the active browser tab (in RGB format).
For example: BrowserActiveTabColorRGB=f0f0f0

 

CreateHighlightedChangesInBackground=1
By default, WebSite-Watcher calculates and generates the file with highlighted changes as soon as you open a bookmark. If this option is enabled, then WebSite-Watcher creates the file with highlighted changes immediately while a bookmark is checked. This will speed up opening changed bookmarks, but the check run will consume more memory and resources. It's not recommended to use this tweak if you often re-check changed/unread bookmarks without opening them after each check.
 
FolderCheckAndShowRecursive=1
This tweak is an enhancement to the command "Check Folder and Subfolders" (folder context menu) and will automatically show bookmarks in subfolders.

 

FollowLinksShowDepth=1
Shows the link depth on the right side of the Follow-Links symbols follow_links follow_links2.

 

SuppressInitializedInfoBar=1
This option can be used to suppress the yellow browser information bar that is displayed when you open an initialized bookmark.

 

SavePageWhenNoKeywordsFound=1
By default, WebSite-Watcher does not save a page to your hard disk when keywords are configured (in "Update-on-Keywords") but none of them is found within new/changed content. With that tweak, a page is also saved to your hard disk when none of the configured keywords is found.

 

CheckLocalFolderUseCreationDate=1
If local directories are checked for changes, WebSite-Watcher uses the modification-date for folders (folders are displayed as changed when files in these folders are changed). If this option is set, then the folder creation-date is used.

 

ReopenTabsAfterCrash=0
If WebSite-Watcher crashes, then the next start will show a dialog to re-open the last opened browser tabs. This tweak suppresses that dialog and don't re-open browser tabs.

 

MinAutoWatchSecondsAfterHibernation=
If an AutoWatch countdown is active while the system turns into hibernation, WebSite-Watcher will wait at least 15 seconds before the next AutoWatch check is started after the system returns from hibernation. This gives Windows some time to re-establish network connections before the next AutoWatch check run is started after hibernation. Default value is 15 seconds.
Example: MinAutoWatchSecondsAfterHibernation=60

 

SendMailOnlyNewRssArticles=0
By default, the bookmark action "Send Mail" sends only new articles of an RSS feed. If this tweak is set, then all articles of an RSS feed (as you can see them when opening the bookmark) will be included in the e-mails.

 

ExtSearchHighlightCSS=

CSS definition for highlighting found words in the Extended Search.

Default CSS definition is: color:#ff0000;background:#00ff00;

To put a border around the highlighted words, the following line can be used:

ExtSearchHighlightCSS=color:#ff0000;background:#00ff00;border:thin;border-color:#ff0000;border-style:solid;border-width:1px

 

NewsgroupUrlFormat=

Defines the URL format when Newsgroups are opened with the default NewsReader.

Default value is: nntp://{server}/{group}

Another typical format is news:{group} - possible variables are {server}, {port} and {group}.

 

QuickInsertFromWebBrowserContextMenu=1
If you insert a bookmark via the webbrowser context menu, WebSite-Watcher usually shows a dialog with name/URL/folder selection. If this tweak is set, bookmarks are silently inserted to the root folder of the opened bookmark list without displaying that dialog. If a bookmark already exists, then the URL is not inserted.

 

UseStaticTrayIconHint=1

Shows the static text "WebSite-Watcher" as tray icon hint (tooltip) instead of a dynamically generated info about the current check/update status.

 

BlindUser=1

Optimized user interface for blind users.

 

Example:

BrowserButtonMoveLeft=100

BookmarkSort=-date_changed
