iSiloX Clipper
iSiloX Clipper for Internet Explorer 5.0 or later provides an easy way
to "clip" pages as you browse the Web. When you install iSiloX, you
have the option of whether or not to install iSiloX Clipper for Internet
Explorer. The option to install is the default and results in the
addition of the "iSiloX Clipper" icon to the Internet Explorer toolbar
and the addition of the "iSiloX Clipper" command to the Internet Explorer
Tools menu.
Using iSiloX Clipper
While browsing the Web with Internet Explorer, when you come across
a page with content you want to convert to an iSilo™ document,
start iSiloX Clipper by clicking either the "iSiloX Clipper" icon on the
toolbar or the "iSiloX Clipper" command on the Tools menu. If you only
want to convert part of the content on the page, select it first before
starting iSiloX Clipper.
Quick setup
The first time you start iSiloX Clipper, you are asked to complete
a quick setup if you have not already done so with iSiloX and you
have either HotSync® or ActiveSync® installed. The quick
setup allows you to choose a default HotSync® or ActiveSync®
destination for your converted documents and to choose a device.
Currently the device choice determines the maximum width and height
beyond which images are resized and whether images are converted
to color or not.
The iSiloX Clipper dialog
The iSiloX Clipper dialog allows you to set options for conversion.
This section describes the fields and buttons available in the
dialog.
Title
iSiloX Clipper initializes the Title field with up to the
first 31 characters of the page's title. You can modify the
title to something else if the page's title is not appropriate.
But note that the title can only be up to 31 characters in length
and you should give each document you create a unique title
as documents or files with the same title overwrite one another.
Category
The category chosen only has an effect when the document is installed
to a Palm OS® device. When iSilo™ for Palm OS®
first sees a document that specifies a category, it places the
document in that category. For more information about this,
see the
Document Properties: Document reference page's Default Categories
section. To edit the category list, click Edit list.
To choose the category initially selected each time you start
iSiloX Clipper, click Default Properties, go to the
Document tab, and select the desired category in the
Default Category section.
Save to
If you performed the quick setup, the Save to list should
have one destination, the HotSync® or ActiveSync® destination
you chose in the quick setup. You can also have the converted
document written to a folder or to a specific file name.
Right-click in the list to add or modify destinations.
To set up or modify the destinations that initially appear in the
list each time you start iSiloX Clipper, click Default Properties
and go to the Destination tab. See
Document Properties: Destination for more information
about destinations.
Include images
If you do not want images included in the converted document,
uncheck Include images. By default, images are included.
To set the default, click Default Properties
go to the Images tab, and either check or uncheck Include
images depending on your desired default. See
Document Properties: Images for more information
about image conversion options.
Maximum link depth
By default, links are not followed (e.g., maximum link depth is zero).
If you say follow links to a maximum depth of 1, then only links
from the current page are followed. You are recommended to not set
the maximum link depth to greater than one because the amount
of downloaded files and the size of the converted document may
increase significantly. To set the default maximum link depth,
click Default Properties, go to the Links tab, and
set the Maximum link depth setting to your desired
default preference. See
Document Properties: Links for more information
about link options.
Properties
Click Properties to set detailed options for the current
conversion. See
Document Properties for more information on all the possible
options. Note that the Access and Cookies tabs are not
available since options related to those two tabs can not be
set for iSiloX Clipper.
Default Properties
Click Default Properties to set default options
for future conversions. See
Document Properties for more information on all the possible
options. Note that the Access and Cookies tabs are not
available since options related to those two tabs can not be
set for iSiloX Clipper.
Converting
Click Convert to perform the conversion. iSiloX Clipper
presents a progress dialog during the conversion. If the conversion
completes successfully, iSiloX Clipper presents a message telling
you that the conversion successfully completed and the resulting size
of the file.
