Autosurf setup

Opera Palmtop can be configured to automatically download a set of web pages to your device, for local offline browsing later. When autosurfing Opera save the specified web pages to your Zaurus, possibly with images, and with linked documents. All pages set up for autosurfing get their own entry under Autosurf in the main menu, and you may start autosurfing the site by selecting this, or you may configure a day and time when Opera will initiate the autosurfing by itself.

To set up a site for autosurfing you must first select Autosurf/configure from the main menu , or you may enter the keyboard shortcut U . This will bring up the Autosurf configuration dialog.

To set up the current page for autosurfing you can just click the Add current button. To enter another page you click the New page button and enter the page's internet address in the top entry field and press return.

For each autosurfed page you can specify:

• Save name - The name of the page that will appear in your Zaurus' File view.
• Storage - The storage media to save to, eg. Internal Storage or CF card.
• With images - Whether to include any images on the page.
• With java - Whether to include any java applets on the page
• With plugins - Whether to include any plugin objects on the page (eg. Macromedia Flash content). Note that although Opera may save applets and plugins, you will have no guarantee that they will work 100% in an offline mode, as some applets and plugins rely on a network connection.
• Follow links - Opera may download not only the given page, but also any page that it refers to, and then any page referred to by these pages et cetera. If you only want to download the initial page, you set this option to level 0. If you want also to download the pages it refers to, but no more, you set it to level 1, and so on for higher levels of indirection.
  WARNING: Beware that too many levels of indirection may fill up your entire Zaurus, causing problems for Opera and other programs. While Opera supports up to 5 levels of indirection, this will be too much except in special cases where you are certain that you will not receive an excessive amount of information.
• Matching pattern - To reduce the amount of pages from a recursive autosurf, you may specify a matching pattern. Only internet addresses beginning with the specified pattern will be downloaded.
• Time to autosurf - You may set up a time for Opera to perform the autosurf, either weekly or daily. Select the desired day and time (24-hour), and make sure that you have set the correct time on your Zaurus. You may also specify "On request", in which case you must initiate the autosurfing from the main menu .

To accept the setup click either Ok which also closes the dialog, or Apply which saves your settings, but keeps the dialog open for you to configure other sites to autosurf. To discard your changes click Cancel .
