File Management

The File Management tab gives you a way to direct Binjet output. You can tell Binjet where to save files it downloads, depending on file type. The tab contains a list of file categories and a set of controls that let you create new categories as well as remove or change existing ones. After downloading and assembling a file, Binjet determines the category the file belongs to based on the file name extension, and saves the file to the output directory of this category. Optionally, Binjet may start a default application (such as an image browser for images) if this option is switched ON for the category.

Tip: if you want all your downloaded files placed in one directory, delete all file categories except Default.

The Categories List

The list displays the following information about each file category:

  • Category name - a meaningful name of the category that you've assigned to it. The name should be unique, descriptive and not too long.

  • Download directory - a directory where downloaded files of this category are placed.

  • Start viewer - is Yes if after downloading and saving a file, Binjet attempts to start a default application with this file.

The Categories Control Buttons

These are located to the right of the categories list.

  • New - when clicked does nothing except explaining how to add a new category. To add a new category, you have to complete Category Details Form in the lower part of the dialog and click on the Add New Category button on the form.

  • Remove - removes the currently selected category. Use with care.

The Category Details Form

This form shows details of currently selected category. It also used to input details of a new category when creating it, or change details of an existing category. The form contains the following fields:

  • Category name - a meaningful name of the category that you've assigned to it. The name should be unique, descriptive and not too long.

  • File name extensions - name extensions of files that belong to this category. When finished downloading a file, Binjet tries to determine its category by looking for one that has the file name extension. If none found, Binjet assigns the file to the Default category.

  • Downloading directory - output directory for files of this category.

  • Automatically start viewer (player) with downloaded files - if this is checked, Binjet attempts to start a default application with files of this category after downloading and saving them.

The Category Details Form Buttons

  • Add New Extensions - shows a small dialog box that lets you type in a few file name extensions to be added to the category.

  • Remove - shows a small dialog box that lets you type in file name extensions to be removed from the category.

  • Apply Changes - applies the changes you've made to the currently selected category.

  • Reset - discards any changes that have been made, takes the data from the currently selected category and fills the form.

  • Add New Category - creates a new category using the data in the form.

  • Browse - lets you choose a new downloading directory for the category. The directory must exist before you can select it.

  • Help - displays this page.
