Special characteristics
The MultiWeb system.
The Gaudi Browser
MultiWeb system allows you to open various pages from different websites at the
same time, viewing these pages and browsing through them simultaneously, as
well as having immediate access to all of these pages. With this special
feature you can have several pages open from different websites or, for
example, from the same site that may have various links that you are interested
in checking out and using. In the tab that appears at the top of the browser
you will see the titles of these pages and you will be able to go through them
by simply clicking on them.
Just follow the following procedures to use the MultiWeb:
Open a MultiWeb folder |
|
To open a MultiWeb folder Move the mouse pointer to the New Folder icon
and click on this icon. A new empty tab will appear. Type in the name of the
website that you want to visit in the nav bar (Go to:), for example,
www.gaudiclub.com . As you carry on browsing, you will see that the new page is
being downloaded. Once downloaded, you will be able to access both pages
simultaneously, clicking on the tab that you want to use. It you want to open a
new page, repeat the operation, opening a New Folder and writing the name of
another web address.
You can open as many folders as you want, with no more
limitations other than those presented by your own computer system's resources.
You can also open a New Folder from a web page by using the mouse to click on
the link, while pressing the Shift key at the same time.

a link all you have to do is press the Shift key while using the mouse to click

Quick method for opening MultiWeb folders from any link |
Graphic Bookmarks or graphic markers offer you a very practical
function.
Instead of having to keep a list of favourite website markers in
text format, which can often create confusion and may even at times prevent you
from finding what you are looking for, Graphic Bookmarks allow you to save
website addresses (URLs) in graphic form. When you want to add and save a
website address, the address can be saved with a simple click, which is almost
like taking a snapshot of the web page.
Then, all you have to do is click on the graphic to access the selected page directly. In addition to keeping the website address (URL) reference, you can write and save your own notes or comments on your favourite pages.
Follow the following procedures to use the Graphic Bookmarks function:
Open Graphic Bookmarks |
Move the mouse pointer to the Gaudi Browser Graphic Bookmarks icon and click on this icon.
The Graphic Bookmarks screen will appear. Follow the following
procedures to use a saved or preset Graphic Bookmark: Click on the graphic for

page.

selection of website addresses.

Once the web page has been downloaded on your browser, open Graphic Bookmarks and click on the "+" sign (Add Graphic Bookmark). The corresponding image and name will appear and these will be saved on your browser.
Save Notes in a Graphic Bookmark |
If you want to add notes or comments to a Graphic Bookmark there is also a window where you can write any texts or comments that you want.
Once you have written the text or comment, click on the symbol to
save the information. The next time that you open Graphic Bookmarks you will
find the address that you have saved, along with the image of the page and any
notes that you may have written.
Delete a Graphic Bookmark |
To delete a Graphic Bookmark, click on the Graphic Bookmarks icon, click
on the address that you want to delete. You will see the image identifying the

sort and manage your favourite web addresses (URLs) easily
and efficiently.

With the powerful and very practical AutoStart Web function, every time you run Gaudi Browser, you will be able to automatically open and connect with all the websites that you have previously selected.
This way, all you will have to do is to have this option marked in
any Graphic Bookmark folder, so that when you connect to Internet the browser
activates the MultiWeb system automatically, simultaneously opening all the web
pages that you want to open.
For example, with this fantastic function, you will be able to
pre-select your favourite web portals, one or more search engines and your
web-based e-mail facility to open up automatically.
If you want to change
the auto-execute function, all you have to do is deactivate the box
corresponding to the address of a pre-selected web page.
