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

• EmailUrlSubjectLine. The subject line to use when emailing feed item URL's.
• EmailUrlBodyTemplate: The message to use when emailing feed item URL's. Use "{%URL%}" as a placeholder for where you would like the URL to appear.
• EnableActiveFtp. Controls if active FTP should be used when uploading/downloading files (0=no, 1=yes).
  
• FeedItemDescriptionExcerptMin/MaxWords. The minimum and maximum number of words allowed when generating feed item excerpts.
• DisableItemRevisionsIndicator. Controls if item revisions should be disabled (0=no, 1=yes).
• EnableNewChannelExpiryByDefault. Flags if new channels should be set to expire by default when running the Channel Wizard.
• DefaultChannelExpiryInterval. If new channels are to be set to expire by default, this parameter specifies the expiry interval in days.
• ShowFeedXmlFileExtn. When Awasu shows the last feed received for a channel as XML, it puts it into a temp file and opens that file. By default, a .TXT file extension is used since the default handler for .XML files is Internet Explorer which won't show the XML if it is invalid. However, if you have another association for .XML files (e.g. a proper XML editor), you may want to change the extension of Awasu's temp files so that your editor will be launched instead.
• EnableChannelFilterWizard. Flags if the Channel Filter wizard should be used when creating new channel filters instead of a blank channel filter dialog (0=no, 1=yes).
• EnableChannelReportWizard. Flags if the Channel Report wizard should be used when creating new channel reports instead of a blank channel report dialog (0=no, 1=yes).
• ConnectionCheckModeFlags. Controls how Awasu checks if an Internet connection is present and active. Windows unfortunately makes this a slightly unreliable process so if you are having trouble getting this feature to work properly, please post in the forums and we'll give you some things to try here.
• DisableInternetConnCaching. Controls if WinInet caching should be disabled (0=no, 1=yes)
  
  
• SearchResultsPageSize. Controls the number of items returned on each search results page.
• MaxSearchResults. The maximum number of results that can be returned by a search query.
• EnableStemming. Controls if stemming should be enabled or disabled in the search engine (0=no, 1=yes). Changing this value requires the search index to be rebuilt using ArchiveMaintenance.exe.
  
  
• TranslateSmartQuotes. Flags if Microsoft's "smart quotes" should be translated into normal quotes before launching user tools.
• NoRecentContentInterval. When cleaning up channels, this parameter controls how many days a channel can not receive any new content before it is considered a candidate for clean-up.
• FailedAutoDownloadRetryInterval. If an auto-download fails, this parameters controls how many seconds to wait before trying again.

• ControlCenterTabPos. Controls where the tabs appear in the Control Center (0=bottom, 1=top).
• NotificationBalloonAnimationTime. Controls the speed of the fade in/out effect of notification balloons (specified in milliseconds).

• SmallNotificationBalloonCloseIcon. Controls if a full-size close-window icon should be shown in notification balloons (0=no, 1=yes).
  
• DisableTrayAnimationIfActiveWindow. Controls if the system tray icon should animate when new feed items are received and Awasu is the active window (0=no, 1=yes).
