onCue keyword wizard

step 1 - choose your keywords

Think of your keywords and type them here separated by commas

e.g. rat, dog, goldfish

case sensitive?

Do you want an exact case sensitive match on your keywords, or do you want them matched even if upper/lowercase differs:

  ignore case - e.g. match rat as Rat, RAT, etc.
  case sensitive- e.g. match aQtive only as aQtive, not as aqtive or Aqtive

step 2 - choose the web page

Put the URL of the webpage you would like the keywords to suggest here:

e.g. http://www.surelynot.com/pet-lovers/pet-lovers.html

step 3 - choose an icon

You will need to find a GIF or JPEG image (just as used in a web site) to appear as an icon in the onCue window when your keywords are selected. The size of icon needed is 32x32 pixels. Other-sized images will be scaled to fit the space, but it is better to do this beforehand if you can. Try looking for clip-art on the web or use a web image creation program such as Macromedia Fireworks, Xara Webster or one of the shareware tools to make your own.

Put the URL (or file URL) of the image you would like the keywords to suggest here:

e.g. http://www.surelynot.com/pet-lovers/images/rat.gif

If the image is a web image you will also need to download the image onto your machine.

Here's an image you can use in this example. Right-click on the image and choose Save image as... or Save picture as... from the drop-down menu. Save the image somewhere on your hard disk, but not in the aQtive folder at this stage. Name the file rat.gif

step 4 - describe your Qbit

You need to think up a name and various descriptions of your Qbit for onCue to use for tooltips etc.

Unless you understand XML and its conventions, do not use any special characters such as <>=";& in your descriptions.

file name

a filename where your XML Qbit will be stored. It must finish with .xml

example: myPetQbit.xml

your name

your own name

example: Paula Elizabeth Tomkins

Qbit name

the name you would like to call your Qbit - this is used in several places, including the name at the top of the tooltip.

example: Pet Lovers Heaven

help

Some useful help text for anyone using your Qbit. This will appear as the second line of the tooltip associated with your icon in onCue and as the tooltip for your icon in the onCue Qbit preferences.

Example: A page with all sorts of things about pets

label

A few words to appear in the dropdown menu from your icon in onCue.

Example: pet lovers page
