Выбор режима осуществляется при первом запуске программы, но в любой момент можно изменить его через меню Options. Как можно догадаться, режим Beginner предназначен для начинающих пользователей. В этом режиме доступны только основные опции программы. Находясь в нем, можно добавлять и проверять ссылки, просматривать содержимое сайтов, устанавливать некоторые параметры для каждой ссылки. Второй же режим, Expert, дает доступ ко всем многочисленным опциям программы.

Работа с Website-Watcher начинается с создания базы ссылок. Всю информацию о ссылках программа хранит в файлах, которых может быть несколько. Наличие нескольких баз ссылок может быть полезным, например, если за компьютером работает несколько пользователей или если вы хотите разделить свои букмарки по категориям. Добавлять новые ссылки можно двумя способами - вручную или же импортируя их из браузера. Website-Watcher работает с основными популярными браузерами, в том числе Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, NetCaptor и NeoPlanet. Импортировать ссылки из браузера можно по одной, перетаскивая их в выбранную папку, или же все сразу. При этом букмарки не перемешаются, а будут сохранены в тех же папках, в которых они хранятся в "Избранном" браузера. Параллельно все ссылки будут помещены в папку All Bookmarks.

Если вы используете прокси при работе с Интернетом, перед тем, как начать проверять ссылки, необходимо указать имя хоста и порт прокси в настройках Website-Watcher. Вручную это делать не обязательно - программа может использовать данные Internet Explorer. Для экспорта достаточно нажать на кнопку Use Settings from Internet Explorer.

Теперь, когда база данных готова, а программа - настроена, можно приступать к главному - к проверке. Вы можете проверять все ссылки одновременно, отдельные папки или же выбирать букмарки для проверки по одной. Программа поддерживает привычные клавиатурные комбинации Windows, так что для выделения нескольких ссылок можно использовать клавиши Сtrl или Shift. Для каждой ссылки можно задать свои параметры проверки. По умолчанию программа использует проверку по содержанию. То есть, она сравнивает содержание веб-странички с закачанным ранее и, если обнаруживает изменения, сообщает вам об этом. Но есть и альтернативные способы проверки - по дате и по размеру. В основном, их стоит использовать, если вы проверяете обновления файлов на серверах, так как в случае с веб-страничками они могут быть неэффективны.

What's New in This Release:

• [+] Virtual folders
• [+] Internal browser: Changes bar (optional via "View" menu)

• [+] Assign bookmark properties (program configuration or per folder): Pre-define check technology
• [+] Bookmark action "Export page": New format "Webpage, complete" to also export related CSS and image files (these files are exported into a folder with extension ".files". If the export filename is "test.htm", then exported CSS/image files are stored in "test.files")
• [+] Internet Explorer Macros with CAPTCHAs supported. If a page contains a CAPTCHA, WebSite-Watcher interrupts the macro execution and shows the browser window to enter the confirmation code. After that, the macro execution is continued.
• [+] Internet Explorer Macros: Pure javascript hyperlinks supported

• [+] Import bookmarks (with pre-defined properties) from Excel (XLS) or CSV file (supported properties see help file)
• [+] Export bookmarks with certain properties to Excel (This makes it for example possible to export bookmarks to Excel, change them there and re-import them into WebSite-Watcher)
• [+] Script command "ImportBookmarks" can import bookmarks from Excel (XLS) and CSV files
• [+] Pdf/Word/Excel plugins are now assigned automatically when a pdf/word/excel file is loaded after a redirection from a html page (in previous version it was only possible to automatically assign a plugin when the URL contained the correct file extension).
• [+] PDF/Word/Excel files can be checked via Internet Explorer Macros
• [+] PDF-Plugin: The PDF plugin uses now an alternative text extraction in addition to the internal PDF file conversion. Should the internal conversion fail, there's still a good chance that the text can be extracted with the alternative solution. This makes checking PDF files more reliable for problematic PDF files. (The alternative text extraction is based on the installed PDF Reader and the IFilter system).
• [+] Excel Plugin rewritten: Conversion is now ultra fast + Support for protected excel files
• [+] Excel-Plugin: Conversion for Excel-2007/2010 format rewritten. Supports now also cell formats, cell merging, etc.

• [+] Plugin IDE has now a sensitive help. When the cursor is placed on a function, event function or a statement, then F1 jumps directly to the related help topic.
• [+] Plugin IDE / Code completion via Ctrl+Space: Several new features and sensitive help added.
• [+] Plugins / New functions to maintain stringlists, eg. functions to insert, change or delete specific items. All functions related to stringslists start with "StringList_". More information and an enhanced example can be found in the help file.
• [+] Plugins / New function: DownloadFile (adds an URL to the included download manager)
• [+] Plugins / New function: ReplaceWildcard
• [+] Plugins / New function: DeleteAllWildcardMatches

• [+] Plugins: The built-in function "Bookmark_SetProperty" can write the additional 3 info fields of a bookmark
• [+] Plugins: Built in function Bookmark_SetProperty has a new parameter "MarkAsRead" to mark a bookmark as visited. Further details see help file.
• [+] Database Repair Tool (dbtool.exe) that can be used to repair a database. Can be used if it's no longer possible to start WebSite-Watcher or to open a database due to database corruptions and crashes.
• [+] Scrolling with the mouse wheel works when the cursor is over the control (folder tree, bookmark list, web browser), it's no longer required to click the control before
• [+] Image configuration: WebSite-Watcher can now optionally show embedded flash videos if absolute image addresses or image downloading is enabled (in previous versions, embedded flash videos were always displayed but this could slow down opening certain bookmarks).
• [+] Newsgroups: Get parent postings (which can be much faster than the function "Reconstruct Thread" when you're only interested in (very) old parent postings)
• [+] Script IDE: Code completion via Ctrl+Space added
• [+] Script IDE has now a sensitive help. When the cursor is placed on a command, then F1 jumps directly to the related help topic of that command.
• [x] Follow-Links runs more smoothly and no longer blocks the main application
• [x] Jump to first/next keyword: Performance improvements
• [x] Show removed elements at the bottom of the page: Performance improvements (also fixed a bottleneck that could freeze WebSite-Watcher in rare cases)
• [x] Improved IFRAME handling
• [x] Improved codepage detection for some Russian web pages
• [x] Improved detection of PDF/Word/Excel files after redirections
• [+] New Tweak: "CreateHighlightedChangesInBackground=1": By default, WebSite-Watcher calculates and generates the file with highlighted changes as soon as you open a bookmark. If this option is enabled, then WebSite-Watcher creates the files with highlighted changes immediately while bookmarks are checked. This will speed up opening changed bookmarks, but the check run will consume more memory and resources. It's not recommended to use this tweak if you often re-check changed/unread bookmarks without opening them after each check.
• [+] New Tweak "SavePageWhenNoKeywordsFound=1": By default, WebSite-Watcher doesn't save a page to your hard disk when keywords are entered in Update-on-keywords but no keyword is found within new/changed content. With that tweak, a page is also saved to your hard disk when none of the entered keywords is found.
• [+] New Tweak "UseStaticTrayIconHint=1": Shows the static text "WebSite-Watcher" as trayicon tooltip instead of dynamically generated information about check/update status.
• [+] Report/Export: New field {wsw_url_date_created}
• [x] The old-looking floating InfoWin has been re-designed and shows more information now. It has also been renamed to "Update-Ticker".
• [x] Internet Explorer browser integration improved (certain pages could not be added via the context menu due to an IE problem)
• [x] Checking Excel files: Performance highly improved
• [-] Pdf/Word/Excel files could not be checked via Check-Macros containing logouts Tons of smaller improvements and optimizations
