Explorer/Internet Explorer Integration

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

If the Add Shortcuts to Explorer Send To menu and Internet Explorer context menu & toolbar box is checked during installation*, both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer are customized to better integrate with Ultra Recall.

 

Windows Explorer Send to Menu: Two entries are added to the Windows Explorer Send To menu:

Ultra Recall (copy) - the selected files will added as new Info Items (contents stored) in the last opened Info Database
Ultra Recall (link) - the selected files will be linked as new Info Items in the last opened Info Database

Note: The Send To menu is available from the File main menu or by right-clicking one of the selected files.

 

Internet Explorer Context Menu: Two entries are added to the Internet Explorer context menu:

Ultra Recall (copy)

- if some or all of the page content is selected: the selected content will be copied as a new Info Item in the last opened Info Database.

- if no content on the page is selected: the entire page will be added (contents stored) as a new Info Item in the last opened Info Database

Ultra Recall (link) - the current page will be linked as a new Info Item in the last opened Info Database.

 

Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer Toolbars: An Ultra Recall toolbar with following two buttons is made available to both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer (right-click on the Explorer/Internet Explorer menu bar or a toolbar and select Ultra Recall to display the toolbar):

Link to Ultra Recall: accomplishes the same functionality as the respective context menu entries documented above.
Copy to Ultra Recall: accomplishes the same functionality as the respective context menu entries documented above.

 

* You can re-install Ultra Recall to enabled this feature.  Reinstallation is as simple as re-running the installation executable.

 

The new Info Items will be created either at the selected Info Item or the Imported Items Info Item based on the Insert imported items at selected item in Data Explorer pane option.

 

Note: Selecting part or all of the web page before importing may be needed when importing a secure page (for instance, an order receipt page) or a page behind a login so that the already-loaded page gets stored instead of attempting to retrieve the page again online.

 

Note: Maxthon is also fully supported, including using the right-click menus and IE Toolbar.  To enable the IE Toolbar in Maxthon, ensure the IE Toolbar is installed as mentioned above, then check both toolbar buttons in Maxthon at Options | Maxthon Options | Plugin | IE Plugin <tab>.

 

Note: When Info Items linked to local files are permanently Deleted using Shift+Del or Ctrl+Shift+Del, the corresponding local files are also deleted to the Windows Recycle Bin.  This is a convenient way to delete the Info Items and their related local files in a single step from within Ultra Recall. If the Info Item(s) are first deleted to the Ultra Recall Recycle Bin, then permanently deleted, the local file will NOT be deleted.
