- <h1>Configuring Annotation Settings</h1>
-
- <p>You open the <strong>Configuration for annotations</strong> with
- <strong>Edit>Preferences</strong>.</p>
- <dl>
- <dt><strong>Annotation user</strong></dt>
- <dd>The author of the annotation. By default, Amaya uses the login name
- of the user. This field enables you to change your user name to
- something more meaningful.</dd>
- <dt><strong>Annotation post server</strong></dt>
- <dd>This setting defines the server to which the annotations are posted.
- Local annotations are always saved to the local repository, and by
- default, this setting is empty. The post server is not automatically
- included in the list of servers, so you should enter the post server
- name in both places.</dd>
- <dt><strong>Annotation servers</strong></dt>
- <dd>A list of servers Amaya should contact when looking for annotations.
- You can specify one or more servers. The reserved server name
- <strong>localhost</strong> tells Amaya to search the local annotations,
- but does not necessarily mean that a local annotation server is running
- (or it would show a complete URL ).</dd>
- <dd>Under Unix, the annotation servers are specified as a space separated
- list. Under Windows, you can add a new server name by clicking in the
- Annotations servers list, pressing the <strong>Enter</strong> key, and
- then typing the server name . By default, this list is initialized to
- <code>localhost</code>.
- <p></p>
- <p class="ProcedureNote"><strong>Tip</strong>:<br />
- To temporarily disable an annotation server, add a "-" char before its
- URL. Amaya will ignore it.</p>
- </dd>
- <dt><strong>Autoload local annotations/Autoload remote
- annotations</strong></dt>
- <dd>Whether Amaya should request annotations automatically (by querying
- the annotation server) every time you browse any URL. If it is not
- checked, then you can manually choose <strong>Load annotations</strong>
- from the <strong>Annotations</strong> menu.
- <p></p>
- <p class="Note"><strong>Note:</strong><br />
- If you check the <strong>Autoload remote annotations</strong> option,
- you may experience a delay in resolving the DNS name of the annotation
- servers. By default, both these options are turned off.</p>
- </dd>
- <dt><strong>Disable remote autoload at each startup (for offline
- work)</strong></dt>
- <dd>Whether Amaya should reset the <strong>autoload remote
- annotations</strong>option at launch time. This option can be useful if
- you are working offline, but still want to autoload the local
- annotations as well as the remote ones.</dd>
