IMPORTANT

The Add-ins Manager applies the tools you add for the unique use of the logon users.  The Global Add-in Manager, located on the Configuration tab under system settings General tab applies an Add-in to all users.  

 

The Add-in Manager feature is a personal configuration tool and is not to be confused with the Global Add-ins Manager which affects all users.   Both will display the tools entered but the tools added via the Global Add-ins Manager cannot be removed or changed via the Personal Add-in Manager.

 

 

The Add-In Manager permits users to link external programs, web sites etc.. for use within Filopto.  There are two levels of add-ins possibles

 

1) Local (Personal) add-ins which are specific to a user and

 

2) Global add-ins which is applied to every user menu.

 

Add-In can be added at the user Add-in menu for personal add-in or at the Filopto System Settings / Pick List  menu for global add-ins.

 

(see Menu Bar for more information)

Add an Add-In Option

 

To add a resource, select the "Manage Local Add-inns" to add a record to the tools menu. Enter the name of the tool as you wish it to appear in the menu list in the "Add-In Name" field. Enter the name of the program, folder, document, or Internet resource you wish to use as a tool in the "Pathname" field.

 

To specify a path, type the drive letter followed by a colon ( : ) and a backslash ( \ ), type the names of the folders and sub folders that contain the file, separating each name with a backslash ( \ ), and then type the name of the file or folder you want to open.

 

For example, to specify a path to Word Pad located on drive C, you would type:

 

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\wordpad.exe

 

You can also use the Get Filename button to locate the program on your system.

 

Once the Tool name and Filename are entered, press the check mark button to save your entry.

 

 

WEB Site as a Tool

To enter a web site, you must enter the web site location as required by your default WEB browser.

For example, to specify a path to the Filopto WEB site, you would type:

 

http://www.filopto.com

 

 

 

Important:

 

For your Add-in to be accessible from the Windows Jump List you must use the full URL  which includes the HTTP:// or HTTPS:// code
