Other Helpful Items:
Starting Downloads with GetRight:
1) Monitoring clicks in your web browser.
This method is by far the easiest. It works with Microsoft Internet Explorer and many other web browsers (other web browsers may need to be setup on the Monitor Browsers - More Browsers configuration page.
GetRight will be triggered by these web browsers to automatically download some file types. Just use your web browser as usual--GetRight will work when it needs to.
| • | Make sure GetRight program is running. (More Information) |
| • | Use your web browser as usual. When you encounter one of the common download types (.EXE, .ZIP, etc.) GetRight will automatically be triggered to download the file. (This can be configured using the Monitor Types & Options tab on the Configuration forms.) |
Tips that work with Microsoft Internet Explorer:
| • | If you hold the SHIFT key when clicking a link, GetRight will not catch any link that is clicked. This is useful for some web page forms or search engines that look like .EXE files to GetRight. |
| • | If you hold both the CTRL and ALT keys when clicking, GetRight will get any link that is clicked. |
2) Clipboard
(Any web browser, or any other program.)
GetRight monitors the contents of the clipboard to see if a web address (URL) is copied into the clipboard.
When a web address (URL) is copied to the clipboard, it automatically triggers GetRight to start up and get the file.
Copying the web address (URL) text to the clipboard:
• Find a file you wish to get in your web browser.
| • | Using Microsoft Internet Explorer: Click the Right mouse button on a file you wish to download, then pick the "Copy shortcut" item in the menu. Other web browsers will have a similar menu (but each calls it something different.) |
| • | Or from ANY other program--email, word processor, a different web browser, or anything else where you may see a web address (URL)--select the link text (looks like http://xxx.xxx.xxx/file.name or ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx/file.name) and press Ctrl-C to copy the text to the clipboard. |
| • | For the common download types (such as .EXE .ZIP, etc.), GetRight will automatically start as soon as the text is copied. |
| • | For most other types, GetRight will ask you whether it should download the file or not. |
| • | GetRight will prompt you where to save the file. |
| • | GetRight will then get the file. The download window should look similar to the window used in your web browser when downloading. |
| • | NOTE: If GetRight does not start to download, you may still easily start the download manually. |
You may configure what GetRight does with different types using the Configuration options.
3) Drag-and-Drop
(Most web browsers.)
From your web browser that supports drag and drop...
| • | Make sure GetRight is running and the GetRight Drop Target window is visible, you can open it from right clicking the GetRight tray icon, then in the Tools menu. |
| • | Find a file you wish to get in your web browser. |
| • | Instead of clicking on the link (the highlighted, often blue underlined text), click the mouse button but don't release the button. Still holding down the button, move your mouse cursor over the "GetRight Monitor" window. And finally release the mouse button. (More Information) |
| • | GetRight will prompt you where to save the file. |
| • | GetRight will then get the file. The download window should look similar to the window used in your web browser when downloading. |
NOTE: You may not drag-and-drop to the GetRight icon when it is minimized to a tray icon in Windows. Double-clicking with the left mouse button on the GetRight logo icon when it is minimized to a tray icon will restore the GetRight Download Status window which can accept drag-and-drop items. Clicking with the right mouse button when GetRight is minimized to a tray icon will bring up a menu of the Advanced Options.
4) Typing in the URL: (See here)
5) For advanced users:
GetRight accepts the URL of the file to be downloaded as a command line parameter.
Entering the command:
GETRIGHT http://www.headlightsw.com/index.html
would start GetRight to download the specified file.
