Awasu's windows

Control Center

This window is where you will be spending a lot of your time. It contains three panels: My Channels, My Searches and Plugins.

My Channels

The My Channels window shows your channel subscriptions. Choose My Channels from the View main menu (or just press F4) to open it.

Channels can be organized into folders and you can control exactly which channels are shown at any given time e.g. only channels with new content or only channels from certain folders.

You can also pick out your favorite channels and add them to the Favorites main menu, system tray menu and/or Sidebar for quick access.

My Searches

The My Searches window shows your search agents. Choose My Searches from the View main menu to open it.

These constantly monitor the information coming in and flag anything that might be of interest.

Plugins

The Plugins window shows the installed application plugins. Choose Plugins from the View main menu to open it.

These add extra features to Awasu. Just click on the one you want to open it and then follow the instructions.

Tasks Pane

The Tasks Pane brings together Awasu's most commonly used features into one place. Choose Tasks Pane from the View main menu to open it.

The first page gives quick access to Awasu features, the second page to your favorite channels, reports and workpads.

Downloaded Files

The Downloaded Files window shows all the enclosures that Awasu has downloaded for you. Choose Downloaded Files from the View main menu to open it.

Just double-click on a file to play it, or right-click to show a context menu with more commands.

Files will be automatically removed from the Downloaded Files window as they are played. Hold down the Shift key when double-clicking on files to override this and leave them where they are.

Sidebar

The Sidebar is a special window that sits outside of the main Awasu window and can be docked to either side of your desktop. It can be turned on and off from the Display page of the Program Options dialog.

The Sidebar can be configured to show the latest content from your favorite channels, letting you keep tabs on what's new regardless of whatever else may be happening on your desktop.
