Show filtered URL’s Show about window at startup Edit local links with X
When you are testing a local web site and double-click a web page URL in the report that is displayed in the Test window, VSE Link Tester will open that web page in the HTML editor of your choice. That allows you to quickly correct broken links.
Select this option if you want VSE Link Tester to show a message when a URL has been filtered out. This helps you to control your filter settings.
If you deselect that option, VSE Link Tester won't show the about window when you launch the application.The "Link Test” panel
Test URLs in <FORM ACTION> TAGS Use web proxy
If your Internet Service Provider uses a proxy server, enter the address of the proxy server in this edit field. Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) can give you the address of your proxy server. If you have a direct connection to the Internet, leave that field blank.
VSE Link Tester cannot send the variables which are associated with a form. Therefore, some servers respond with an error message although the link itself works. If you select this option, you might get some false error messages when testing URLs from <FORM ACTION> tags.The "Report” panel
HTML report Text report Report only broken links No report
If select this option, VSE Link Tester won't create an additional report.
If you want VSE Link Tester to create an HTML report, select this option. Use the popup menu to select a web browser of your choice. That web browser will be used to display the HTML report that is created when the link test is done.
If you want VSE Link Tester to create a plain text report, select this option. Use the popup menu to select a text editor of your choice. That text editor will be used to display the text report that is created when the link test is done.
If you select this option, VSE Link Tester won't list all the links that it has tested.
