Document properties window

Document properties window shows detailed information about a document. It can be opened via:

• Documents tab;

• Resource list tab;

• Search results tab;

• Progress tab;

• Resources tab.

To open Document properties window from any of these tabs, right-click a document and select Properties in the context menu.

The window shows following information:

• "Title" - the title of the document as stored in the cache. Initially, Ad Annihilator stores the title provided by the web site here. You may wish to change this default title to more descriptive text;

• "Address" - Internet address of the document (URL);

• "Version" - document version. If this document is the current version, nothing is shown in this field. If the document is a fixed version, the version number is shown here. Version number is a number of the version of the same document stored in cache. Document versions are numbered chronologically - the first version fixed has the number 1, the second - number 2, and so on. The greater the version number, the later it was retrieved and fixed. To learn more about document versions see Understanding document versions;

• "Downloaded at" - date and time at which the document was downloaded from the Internet;

• "Last visited at" - date and time at which the document was opened in the browser at the last time;

• "Visit count" -  number of times the document was opened in the browser;

• "Size" - size of the document altogether with any contained resources. To view the size of the document file itself click "Show advanced properties" button in this window;

• "Resource count" - number of resources contained in the document. Document resources comprise pictures (banners), scripts, stylesheets, objects (Flash animations) and other resources that should be downloaded altogether with this document. To view the list of document resources click "Open resource list" button in this window;

• "Method" - HTTP method used to retrieve this document. It can be either GET or POST. Most documents received as a result of form submission are retrieved with POST method;

• "Local file name" - name of the file on the local disk used to store the link to the document in cache. This file is always stored in current project folder. Note that this file does not store the document itself. You may see where actual document file is located in Resource properties window that can be opened with "Show advanced properties" button in this window;

• "Make new versions automatically" - when checked, Ad Annihilator makes new versions of the current document each time you download it from the Internet. When it is unchecked, each time you download the current document from the Internet, it overwrites the latest document version. It is recommended to check this option for documents for which you want Ad Annihilator to generate multiple document versions automatically. To learn more about document versions see Understanding document versions.

Following buttons are available in Document properties window:

• "Open resource list" button - opens the list of document resources in Resource list tab. When this command is issued, Document properties window is closed automatically and no changes are saved. To save them and open the resource list, click OK button first, then re-open the Document properties window and click "Open resource list" button;

• "Delete document" - deletes the document from the cache permanently and closes the window. Be careful with this command as it deletes the document permanently, and you'll have to download it from the Internet again to access it again;

• "Get new version" - does the same as the similar option in Documents tab context menu. When this command is issued, Document properties window is closed automatically and no changes are saved;

• "Show advanced properties" - opens Resource properties window where advanced document information can be accessed. That window considers the document as a resource and shows its resource properties. Generally, this information includes Internet headers that were sent with this document from the web server.
