- <a name="background-information"></a><h3>1. Background Information</h3>
-
- <a name="projects"></a><h4>Projects</h4>
-
- <p>Offline Commander stores all pages in a single project file (project database).
- When you first launch Offline Commander it prompts you for the name of
- a new project file. Offline Commander will use this project database every
- time you launch it until you either create a new project or open an existing project
- previously saved to your disk.
-
- <p>Offline Commander will not download anything from the Internet until you
- switch the program to Online mode. To do this, click the Go Online button on the
- main toolbar. While the program is in the Offline mode all tasks will be queued and be waiting until
- you switch the program to Online mode. After you switch to Online mode all previously
- queued Web pages will be downloaded in a single batch.
-
-
- <a name="browsers"></a><h4>Browsers</h4>
-
- <p>You do not have to use Offline Commander as your primary browser.
- You can browse the Web with your favorite browser such as
- Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera, or any other browser. If you
- want to use Offline Commander as a browser refer to the topic <a href="wrinfo://browser">
- How to browse the Web with the built-in browser</a> for many useful tips and tricks.
-
- <a name="tasks"></a><h4>Tasks</h4>
-
- <p>Offline Commander saves Web pages as Tasks. Every task can contain either a
- single page or several interlinked Web pages. A task can contain even an entire
- Web site because a Web site is just a set of interlinked Web pages.

-
- <a name="using-drop-box"></a><h3>2. Using Drop Box to Save Web Pages</h3>
-
- <p>A Drop Box is a small window positioned on top of all windows on your desktop.
- You can drag links from Web pages or from the Address bar of your browser
- to the Drop Box. Offline Commander will automatically download and save the
- page referred by the link in the project database.
-
- <br><br>
- <img src="wrinfo://dropbox1_gif">
- <p>You can also drop entire text selections to the Drop Box. Offline Commander
- will automatically download and save Web pages for every link found in the
- selected text fragment. Using this feature you will be able to save dozens
- or even hundreds of Web pages with just a few clicks of the mouse.
-
-
- <a name="viewing-pages"></a><h3>3. Viewing Saved Web Pages in Offline Commander</h3>
-
- <p>Double click a task to view a saved Web page in Offline Commander's
- internal browser. Sometimes a page will not load but instead will
- redirect the browser to another page which was not saved in Offline
- Commander. In this case Offline Commander will enqueue the new page
- with the same task. You should Go Online and download the page.
-
- <p>You can enqueue additional pages linked to the main page by clicking on
- a link in the Offline Commander's internal browser. This will create a multipage task.
-
-
- <a name="saving-pages"></a><h3>4. Saving Web Pages to Disk</h3>
-
- <p>First make sure the page can be viewed in the built-in browser (see the previous
- paragraph). Make sure the task you want to save is not queued (i.e. there is no clock symbol
- to the left of the task). If it is queued
- the page may not save correctly (you should first download queued tasks).
- Click Save As button on the Task toolbar. Select the folder you want to save
- to and click OK. For multipage tasks the linked pages will also be saved
- along with the main page. Alternatively you can drag selected tasks to a file system
- folder with the mouse.
-
-
-
- <a name="organizing-pages"></a><h3>5. Organzing Web Pages</h3>
-
- <p>Select Windows->Folders from the View menu. The Folders window will appear.
- You can create folders, subfolders, and move tasks between folders just like
- in Windows Explorer. Right-click within the folders window to view the
- context menu of available commands.
-
-
- <a name="problems"></a><h3>6. Common Problems and Resolutions</h3>
-
- <p>Not all links can be dropped to the Drop Box. If a link is a JavaScript link
- you won't be able to drop it into the Drop Box. To see if a link is a JavaScript
- link, hover the mouse over the link and look on the status bar of your browser.
- To save such pages you should first click on the link to load it into the browser
- and then drag the page icon from the Address bar of your browser to the Drop Box.
-
- <p>If a page was downloaded with errors select the task and click the Refresh button
- on the Task toolbar. To make sure the page will be saved correctly, open the task
- in the built-in browser while Offline Commander is in the Online mode. To open
- a task in the built-in browser, double click it or choose Open from the context menu.
