Additional options

There are a number of configuration options that are not available from the normal user interface. To change these, you must first ensure that Awasu is not running. It may take a while for Awasu to finish even after the main window has closed so either use Task Manager to determine when it has really finished or just wait for a minute. Then open your user's CONFIG.INI file in Notepad. If you have installed Awasu to the default location, you will find this file at C:\Program Files\Awasu\Users\YOUR-NAME\config.ini. Then make the changes described below.

Miscellaneous

• NotificationBalloonAnimationTime. Controls the speed of the fade in/out effect of notification balloons (specified in milliseconds).
• MaxNotificationBalloonNewFeedItems. Specifies the maximum number of feed items to show in a single notification balloon (if new feed items are being consolidated).
• ShowNotificationBalloonCloseIcon. Controls if the close-window icon should be shown in notification balloons (0=no, 1=yes).
• SmallNotificationBalloonCloseIcon. Controls if a full-size close-window icon should be shown in notification balloons (0=no, 1=yes).
• EnableRasCheck. Controls if Awasu should check if an Internet connection is present and automatically suspend channel updates if one is not detected (0=no, 1=yes). This feature does not work for connections that are provided via a LAN and is therefore disabled by default. It is most useful for people running Awasu on a laptop or other machines that are not always connected to the Internet.
• EmailUrlSubjectLine. The subject line to use when emailing feed item URL's.
• EmailUrlBodyTemplate: The message to use when emailing feed item URL's. Use "{%25URL%25}" as a placeholder for where you would like the URL to appear.

Internet Explorer context menu

It is possible to change the text that appears in the right-click menu in Internet Explorer windows. By default, these are configured as follows:

• IeAddToReadMe=Add to Awasu read-me
• IeSubscribe=Subscribe in A&wasu
  

External tools

Additional external tools can be added to the Tools menu. Search for "User Tool" and add your entries as appropriate. For example:

[User Tool 8]
DisplayName=MyTool
Type=url
Command=http://www.mysite.com?foo={%25SELTEXT%25}

Use {%25SELTEXT%25} as a placeholder for where the currently selected text should appear in the URL or {%25URL%25} for the current page's URL.
