- <a name="background-information"></a><h3>1. Background Information</h3>
-
- <p>Offline Commander remembers every page you visit while browsing the
- Web with the built-in browser. The saved Web pages are
- stored in a project database. You can clear the project database by
- selecting Clear Project from the Project menu. This will erase
- the data stored in the currently open project file. You can also
- create a new empty project or open an old project. 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. Note that you do not have to explicitly
- save project files because Offline Commander does this automatically.
-
- <p>Click the Browse button on the main toolbar at the left to launch the
- built-in browser. By default, the browser windows open in tabs inside
- the main application window. You can undock any tabbed page by clicking on
- the undock button in the top-right corner of a window.
-
- <p>Offline Commander will not download anything from the Internet until you
- switch the program to Online mode. Click Go Online before entering anything into the
- Address bar of the browser. After you disconnect from the Internet you
- should click Go Offline if you want to browse the previously saved pages
- in Offline mode.

-
- <p>You can do this using one of the following methods:
-
- <p><b>1.</b> Hover the mouse over a link and you will see in the status bar
- if the link was already retrieved or not. If it was already
- retrieved you can click on it and it will be loaded immediately.
- If it was not retrieved you may either click on it and wait until
- the page will download or you may enqueue it with just two clicks
- of the mouse and continue browsing. To do this, right-click on a
- link and select Enqueue Target from the context menu to schedule
- this link for immediate download. If at a later time you will
- click on this link again it will be loaded immediately.
-
- <p><b>2.</b> You can also prefetch multiple links on a Web page by clicking on
- the links in a quick succession.
-
- <p><b>3.</b> You can also prefetch multiple links with a few clicks of the mouse.
- To do this, select a text fragment containing the links you want to prefetch,
- right click on the text fragment, and select 'Enqueue all links in selected text'
- from the context menu.
-
- <p>Dragging the text selection to the Drop Box will have the same effect
- but it will also create shortcuts to the pages referenced by these
- links in the Tasks window.

-
-
- <p>Select Options from the Tools menu. This will bring up the configuration
- Options for Offline Commander. The Browser tab contains options for the built-in
- browser. Uncheck the box "Allow scripts to open new browser windows" if you do
- not want to view pop up advertisements.
-
- <p>If you do not want to view ad banners on Web pages you should specify
- project-wide filters. Copy and paste the following text into the bottom text box
- for Images, Embedded objects, and Dynamic objects:
-
- <pre>
- not (
- *doubleclick.com* or
- *humanclick.com*
- )
- </pre>
-
- <p>These are two most popular ad serving Web sites. This list is not
- complete and is provided here only for example. You should add other
- ad serving Web sites to this list.
