If you want to edit an existing auction watch, right-click on TimeLeft system tray icon and select in the pop-up menu Tools|Auction Time Watch menu item to bring up the main TimeLeft window. In this window select an auction you want to customize and press Edit button at the bottom of the window.
This will bring up Auction Settings window.
Auction Settings window
contains Auction and Countdown tabs:
Auction tab contains
all the information about the auction: date and time when auction ends, item
name and auction link.
It also contains:
"Notify before" settings:
notify before auction end before for 10 minutes, show message, open auction
web-page, play sound. If you want to change 10 minutes to some other value,
click "for 10 minutes" ink and change the value in the opened window.
Automatic auction parsing.
You can enter all auction information manually, but it is much more convenient
to use the automatic parsing functionality:
- just drag the auction URL from the browser and drop it into Auction URL field.
In this case the auction title (which is displayed at the very top of your browser)
is parsed and Auction Ends At, Item Name and URL fields are filled automatically.
So, TimeLeft does not need to connect to the Internet, but the following information
is not downloaded: High Bid and High Bidder.
- if you press Retrieve button, you can retrieve the complete information about
the auction: when auction ends, Item Name, URL, High Bid and High Bidder. TimeLeft
connects to the Internet in this case.
Countdown tab window
lets you customize appearance and behavior of the countdown floating window.
If you have some important auction and you want to see at any moment how long
is left till the end, you can activate countdown for the auction by marking
Show Countdown option. Countdown is a small floating window that lives on your
desktop and displays how long is left till the event:
Advanced tab is used
to change default auction settings. To access Advanced tab click
button on the Auction tab.
All functionality of this tab is almost like in the case of reminders (see
Edit Reminder for more details).
It is not recommended to change these settings if you are not 100% sure.
See Edit Reminder for more details.
