VisitURL: Features overview
Features are legion. The program performs a relatively simple task, but it aims to do it well, which includes flexibility. Here are some of the highlights.
Major features:
- URLs may be added one or several at a time, from clipboard or maually.
- Automatic, configurable, semi-intelligent scanning for URL descriptions when adding URLs from clipboard or importing from files.
- Configurable HTML output: you may choose how the list of collected URLs is presented in your browser.
- Clipboard monitoring for automatic collection of URLs
(just copy the URL to clipboard and Visit will add it to its list).
- User-configurable list of URL schemes ('ftp://', 'http://', etc) to watch for. Ability to extend the default list of schemes.
- Configurable import of URLs from plain text files, HTML documents and Internet Explorer "Favorites" (i.e. Internet Shortcuts). For instance, you may choose to only import mailto links, only links to '.zip' files, or only URLs beginning with 'http://' - or any combination thereof. The 'Import' feature itself is the most powerful I've seen in applications of this type.
- URLs may be copied to clipboard in several ways: for instance, you may simply copy the Internet address, or you may copy the URL and its associated desciption as HTML code, ready to be pasted into a Web document you are creating.
- 'Find' feature (search for text in URLs or URL descriptions).
- Option to live in system tray.
- Export URLs to a plain text file, as Explorer's 'favorites', to a delimited file (*.CSV) or to Netscape Navigator's bookmarks.
- All functions available from keyboard.
- Configurable fonts and colors; configurable default actions (for instance, you may choose what action the program will perform when you click the tray icon). One-click or single-keypress operation for all frequently used features.
- URLs may be sorted by net address, by description or by date added.
- A user-defined template file may be used to format the HTML output.
- Configurable activation hotkey to bring the program window to front after it was minimized to the system tray
- Automatic installer and uninstaller
