For some of the click monitoring methods, they are based on the type of the file of the URL. This is use to detect "download" file types, like .ZIP or .EXE and trigger GetRight to download those files.
| • | Automatically start downloading files of types: This textbox contains a list of file types which GetRight will immediately start to download. The defaults are the most common download types--executable files and several different compression types. |
You may add more file types (file extensions) by entering them in the textbox. Be sure to use the format .XXX ? and * wildcards are OK. The period is required. Semicolons are not needed anymore, but won't cause any problems if it is there. Make sure there is a space or return between items in the list.
NOTE1: If GetRight prompts you about getting a file type and you select "Yes; and always get this file type with GetRight", then that type will automatically be added to this list.
NOTE2: With the click monitoring for some types (.GIF, .HTM, .HTML, .JPG, .JPEG), they will not be downloaded by GetRight even if they are in this list of types to get. Otherwise, if .GIF was downloaded by the click monitoring, GetRight could try to download every image on every web page you opened!
NOTE3: Several of the other web browsers don't use this list.
| • | Ignore all clicks for server(s): GetRight's click monitoring can be confused by servers that use forms or other URLs that appear to be EXE files. GetRight may incorrectly catch these clicks and download the web page. (A quick, temporary solution is to hold the SHIFT key when clicking on these URLs to tell GetRight to ignore the click.) If you frequently use a server that does this, you can add the server name to this list so that GetRight will ignore all URLs located on that server. |
You should not use any thing except the server name (no paths.) You should use semicolons or spaces to separate servers if you have more than one. For example: www.abcde.com; www.xyz.com; ? and * wildcards are OK. (The wildcard checking isn't perfect, use something like *.abcde.com to work best.)
NOTE: Several of the other web browsers don't use this list.
| • | Advanced button: The Advanced button shows a window so you can view, add and edit combinations of server names and paths (in the URL) to specifically catch or ignore clicks. For example, this can be used if a website you visit often has sound events or a search script that triggers GetRight, and you want to stop GetRight from trying to download the sound files, but to continue catching other files from the website. There are several built-in example items for GetRight to work with known "exception" sites. |
| • | Prompt in Web Browser for GetRight or Browser to download the file: GetRight can show a brief message in your web browser, asking what you want to use to download the file. This prompt will only show for a 5 seconds before having GetRight take over (the browser needs the function it calls to return pretty quickly). This only works in Internet Explorer. |
| • | Alternate IE file type monitoring; not as compatible with Windows XP: GetRight 5.1 and earlier used "Method 1" for the click monitoring. This worked for many years. When Windows XP came out, there were a few quirks, and then when Windows XP Service Pack 2 arrived, there were some big issues. So we switched to "Method 2". We'd done Method 2 years earlier and had sent people information on using it if they were having problems--so it's been used for a long time too. The newer Save As replacement works well with either method, and avoids several of the quirks with each. |
Quirks:
Method 1: With Windows XP SP2, Internet Explorer can switch to a "blank" page when GetRight takes over a download.
Method 2: Links won't show as "visited" in Internet Explorer. Can work better with other browsers based on Internet Explorer.
| • | Special Keys Button: Normally, if you hold the SHIFT key down when clicking in your web browser it tells GetRight to ignore the click, and holding CTRL+ALT tells it to catch any click. On the screen that shows from this button, you may change the key combinations for this catching and ignoring, or turn it off completely. |
