How to view web pages offline
To view web pages offline, you must have saved the web pages on your floppy/hard disk first. Most browsers allow the saving of web pages via File | Save as. However, in most case your browser will save only the text of the page for you. NetScape users can save an inline image by clicking the right mouse button on top of the image.
Setup your own homepage
You can start LIKSE with the search screen, a blank page, or a homepage of your choice.
To setup your homepage, simply goto Options|Home Page. Select the option - 'Start LIKSE with Home Page', and
assign the HTML file you want to use as your homepage to the 'Home Page Location' field.
LIKSE can also automatically re-load your homepage when there is no user activity (like a screen saver). To use this feature, please check the 'Load Home Page after..' box, then set the period of idle time (in seconds) LIKSE will wait before re-loading the homepage.
Switch on/off LIKSE Menu Options
You can disable/enable LIKSE's functions to suit your particular needs.
Menu options are stored in the file - "nraccess.ini", under the section [ADVANCE]
The initial setting of LIKSE is to show all menu options,
[ADVANCE] ALL_ENABLED=1
Remove this line you will see how Likse can protect your work by hide options from users.
To selectively enable your menu options, please remove the above line, and then add the following lines under [ADVANCE] section to enable each menu item:
HTML_OPEN=1 -- Enable [File Open] XP_PLAIN=1 -- Enable [Export file as plain text]If you register LIKSE for multi-users (site/royalty free licensing), you will receive instructions on other switches (Edit, Save, Print, Helper Application, Bookmark, Homepage, Directory Button, Search Engine Defaults, Close, Option, Path List) upon registration.
Setup a list of search paths
On the search form there is a 'Limit to Directory' box. User may choose a directory from its drop-down list before they start search.
The advantage of using this feature is that you can put files into different directories according to their categories, and user may perform search only within the directory they are interested, which improves the search speed.
You may setup this list via Options | Path List.
If you want to limit the search only to the list setup by you, you can mark 'Limit to Directory' box read only. You do this by goto Options | Search Engine Defaults
Integrate built-in browser with search engine
LIKSE's built-in browser recognises the following hyper-links:
<A HREF="LIKSE"> - display LIKSE's search form
<A HREF="LIKSE Results"> - display the previous result screen return from LIKSE
You may also use the above keywords (LIKSE, LIKSE Results) in the 'Location' box.
Use LIKSE as your default HTML Viewer (Windows 95 users)
Config LIKSE to automatically launch helper applications
Config LIKSE to lauch your favourite HTML Editor
Setup LIKSE Window
If LIKSE's Window is too small for you, it can be resized. You can also position the Window anywhere on your screen, or set it
to the maximum Window size. After you make those changes you can choose [Save Options] from the "Options" menu.
Config LIKSE's Directory Buttons
LIKSE allows you to setup your own directory buttons - i.e., you can change the captions on buttons, and assign your own files to those buttons. To setup directory buttons, click on the ICON beside the rightmost directory button.
Save LIKSE.ini in another directory
LIKSE.INI stores information about LIKSE's settings. If you would like to place this file in a directory other than
the default (the same directory as the exe file), please add the following lines to LKACCESS.INI
[APPINFO] INIPATH=/yourdirectoryname/ --------------- LIKSE.INI - Contains users' preferences about using LIKSE LKACCESS.INI - Contains access options and registration info.
