This lets you setup default directories where files should be saved on your hard drive.
The radio buttons at the top control how the default directory should be setup. Depending on which one is selected, the bottom section of the form will change.
| • | Remember last directory used: Each time you are prompted where to save a file with GetRight, the last directory where you saved a file will be shown as the initial directory. |
| • | One default directory for all downloads: Use a single default directory for all files. Whenever you are prompted where to save a file with GetRight, this directory will be used. |
| * | A textbox will be shown where you may type in a directory, or click the "Browse..." button to pick the directory. |
| • | Default directory by file type: Depending on the type of the file, different default directories may be setup. For example you could use this to save .EXE files to C:INSTALL and .WAV files to C:SOUNDS. |
| * | The report list contains the file types (extensions) and default directories with textboxes below so you may select one item to change, or add a new value. |
| * | Click on an item in the report to change its value or delete it (the buttons will be "Set" and "Delete"). |
| * | Click a blank area in the report to add a new value (the buttons will be "Add" and disabled "Delete"). |
You may enter several types for one directory by separating the extensions with semicolons, such as: .EXE;.ZIP; You may also use either ? or * wildcards in these extensions, such as: .HTM* ArialArialArialArial0;The case (uppercase vs lowercase) of the text is ignored. A beginning * is not needed. (use .EXE instead of *.EXE).
NOTE1: To handle any other files that do not fit the specific types you set, use special file type of DEFAULT Any types that do not match any of your types will use the DEFAULT item's directory.
NOTE2: If no extension is found that matches the file type, and no DEFAULT file type value is found, GetRight will use the last directory used.
| • | Generate directory from download information: Subdirectories will be created whose name contains some information about the download. All subdirectories will be created under a parent directory. |
| * | Parent Directory: The directory under which all the other directories will be created. Type in a value, or click the "Browse..." button to pick an existing directory. |
| * | Server Name: The server name for the download is created under the parent directory. If the server name begins with ftp. or www. then those will be removed before the directory is created. So downloading a file from either www.getright.com or ftp.getright.com would create the directory .getright.com for saving the files. |
| * | Server Name and Path: The server name, and the path for the download is created under the parent directory. If the server name begins with ftp. or www. then those will be removed before the directory is created. So if downloading http://www.ArialArialserver.com/path1/path2/file.exe the directory .server.compath1path2 would be created and the file saved there. |
| * | Source Web Page Server Name: Gets the current web page from your browser, the server name for the download is created under the parent directory. If the server name begins with ftp. or www. then those will be removed before the directory is createArialArialArialArialArialAriald. So downloading a file from either www.getright.com or ftp.getright.com would create the directory .getright.com for saving the files. |
NOTE for this item. The value calculated is NOT guaranteed to be right. Especially if you click a number of files in a row on different pages, or have many web browser windows open and are quickly switching between them when adding files, or other causes. GetRight can easily get the page from the wrong browser window. This also does take a little bit of time to request the URL from your web browser. If the source page can not be found, the download server is used.
| * | Current Date: The date when the download is started will be used as the directory name. The format used is Year-Month-Day, so Christmas 1998 would be 1998-12-25. Or January 1st, 2000 would be 2000-01-01. |
| * | File Extension (Type): The file extension (or type) of the file is used, so setup.exe would create the exe directory, or file1.zip would create the zip directory. |
| * | Custom: Allows custom directory formats. You can use all the special date variables from the Daily Downloads, as well as the following: |
%SERVER% for the server name minus ftp. or www. (getright.com for www.getright.com)
%FULLSERVER% for the server name including ftp. or www.
%TYPE% for the file type (exe for setup.exe).
%PROTOCOL% either www or ftp.
%PATH% for the server's path to the file (pubfiles for www.xyz.com/pub/files/setup.exe).
%PATH-% for the server's path to the file, with / changed to - so only get one folder instead of many nested ones if the file on the server is deep. (-pub-files for www.xyz.com/pub/files/setup.exe). Also can do %PATH_% for _ or Arial%PATH~% for ~ as the replacement character.
%PAGESERVER% gets the web page from your browser and is the server name minus ftp. or www. (getright.com for www.getright.com/download.html) for the web page where the download link was clicked.
%PAGEFULLSERVER% gets the web page from your browser and is the server name including ftp. or www. for the web page where the download link was clicked.
%PAGEPATH% gets the web page from your browser and is the server's path to the page (filesxyz for www.xyz.com/files/xyz/index.html).
NOTE for these %PAGEx% items. The value calculated is NOT guaranteed to be right. Especially if you click a number of files in a row on different pages, or have many web browser windows open and are quickly switching between them when adding files, or other causes. GetRight can easily get the page from the wrong browser window. This also does take a little bit of time to request the URL from your web browser.
| • | Use default name and do not prompt for file name: This causes GetRight to skip prompting you for the filename, and automatically uses the default name (if a file with that name does not already exist in the directory.) For example, if you were downloading http://www.getright.com/faq.html, GetRight would automatically save the file with the name faq.html (or faq.htm if you are using Windows 3.1) into your default directory and would not prompt you at all. |
This may be used with the One default directory for all downloads or Default directory by file type or Generate directory from download information options.
| • | Automatically make unique file names: When using the "Use default name and do not prompt for file name" item above, you can check this item so that if there already exists a file with the default name, GetRight will add a number to make the new name different. For example, if PICTURE.GIF already existed, GetRight would save the new file as PICTURE-01.GIF. GetRight will try numbers from 01 to 99 to find an unused name, if all are used, GetRight will then prompt you. |
NOTE: When a new file is downloaded by GetRight, the suffix .GetRight will be added to the filename on the disk to indicate that the file is not complete. When the file finishes downloading, then it will automatically be renamed to remove the .GetRight. From a user perspective looking at GetRight, this is invisible--it removes the .GetRight for prompts and for displaying. But it will be visible if you look at the files in the directory while they are being downloaded. You may turn off this feature and not add .GetRight to your partial files on the Advanced configuration tab.
