EDITING URLs
When you click on the EDIT button a new window pops up. From this window you can control how Puller behaves with each of the URLs it monitors.

If the chosen URL is in fact merely a label (indicated by the checkbox) then most of the gadgets will be disabled.

DESCRIPTION
NAME The name of the URL. This can be anything you like and is what appears in the listview on the main window.
LABEL Not Yet Implemented If checked then this entry is not a URL but a LABEL. This makes it easier to organise a large list of URLs into categories.
URL The URL to check. Don't include http://
DATE You can't change this its just there so you can see the last the page was updated.
GRAB Not Yet Implemented Set to ALWAYS, DAILY, WEEKLY or MONTHLY. This controls how often a URL is checked. If you know that a URL will not be updated more than weekly it will speed up the running of Puller if you set this to WEEKLY.
GRAPHICS Not Yet Implemented Does not apply if you run in ONLINE mode. This option controls whether Puller will download the graphics for the page as well as the page itself. Options are GRAPHICS and NO GRAPHICS. Graphics downloading is noticeably slower.
LOCAL LINKS Not Yet Implemented Does not apply if you run in ONLINE mode. This option controls whether Puller will download the local pages linked to the page your are monitoring or not. Options are DOWNLOAD LOCAL LINKS and DON'T DOWNLOAD LOCAL LINKS. Use this option cautiously. Some pages contain as many as 60 local links. This option can be used to parse Frames based pages however since the framing page itself is unlikely to change often its better to use the URL of the specific html page you want to monitor.
