Configuration

Launch the program and choose where you want to save the data file. After the data file is saved, you can import or edit the list.

Importing is easy. InfoPopup can accept a tab delimited file. There are three pieces of information that you can have in the file. The First is the description. Second is the URL. The last is the indentation level. Your file does not need all three fields.

  • One field: The field will be copied into the description and the URL. The level will be set to 0.
  • Two Fields: The first field go into the description and the second field into the URL. The level will be set to 0.
  • Three Fields: The first field go into the description and the second field into the URL. The third field will go into the level.

Editing is easy too. After you click on a row, you can move it up, down, left, or right. You can also add a line or delete a line. If you click cancel, your changes will be ignored. Clicking OK, accepts your changes.
