In very (!) rare (!) cases Inquisitor "MAY" crash with an exception error like: "Unable to alloc XY bytes". In this case restart Inquisitor, and disable some of the following Options: "Display while download", and/or "Show Image Border preview" and/or "Play Animations". After that in most cases the site will display correctly, without any error. But it's save to leave these Options turned on, and disable them only if such error occurs.
The Option: "Use Frames" should allways turned off, except a site uses frames (indicated most by such Messages like: "Sorry, but your Browser doesn't support frames"). Only for those sites the "Use Frames"-Option should turned on; otherwise some "normal" sites (such without frames) won't displayed correctly (or will NOT displayed at all). This option is not 100% stable (for now), and will not work with all sites which uses frames.
It's only a simple basic support for sites with frames, and if FIQ couldn't open your site, please use your favorite Browser instead of FIQ.
Remember:
Inquisitor is NOT a Browser; it's a special Tool which acts LIKE a "normal" Browser, and should used in partnership with your favorite Internet-Browser.
The Option: "Auto Table correct" should even, allways turned off, except you find a site where all images will displayed in the top, left corner (and you're unable to select any image). Only in this case you can use the "auto Table Correction", to correct the order of the displayed images. If this option is turned on, the images of all other sites may displayed in the wrong order (such sites look something strange and corrupt).
In some cases a Site won't appear. If this happens, and you see that Inquisitor has downloaded the HTML-File correctly; try to enable Frames. Some Sites uses Frames, without to inform the User, so if you enable Frames and reload the Page, and it still won't come up, try to disable also Infiltrator-Mode.
It may happen, that the Scrollbar(s) "hang" sometimes while Inquisitor is working (only on Windows !). In this case move the Scrollbar when Inquisitor is ready.
If you encounter Problems while downloading VERY BIG Files (such like MPG, AVI, and so on), you should disable "Timeout", or set it to a real BIG Value, cause FIQ will cancel EVERY Download, if Timeout is reached !
The language resource files are no longer stay within the "Inquisitor.EXE". That means, that these files were excluded in a new subdirectory, called: "SYSTEM". You may edit these files with a normal ASCII Text-Editor, but be careful:
if one of these files are damaged, Inquisitor will not start anymore !
There is a backup of all these files in the "SRC" directory, and you can copy this files back to "SYSTEM" directory; but if they are damaged too, you have to reinstall Inquisitor.
Some Words about the (new) directory structure of Inquisitor:
../Inquisitor/Bookmarks = your bookmarks will saved here; each in a seperate file, with the name of the bookmark.
../Inquisitor/Skins = in there are some "Skin"-Files for Inquisitor, which may change Inquisitors "look".
../Inquisitor/SYSTEM = herein stay the language resources (Ending: ".FQL"), and the "kidlist" (FIQKID.FQL), which contains some keywords for the Child-protection (can be set to readonly)
../Inquisitor/help = the new HTML-Help files for Inquisitor, which can also be opened by another Browser
../Inquisitor/cache = all files which are downloaded will saved in it's subdirectories (the cache location can be changed/moved to another directory via Inquisitor-Setup). You can also clear all following subdirectories by yourself; but remember:
Inquisitor is also an offline Browser, which means: if you clear it's cache, there is nothing (more) to browse offline !
../Inquisitor/cache/favicons = all downloaded favicons (if any) will saved in it's subdirectories
../Inquisitor/cache/html = all downloaded sites (including images) will saved in it's subdirectories
../Inquisitor/cache/preview = herein come the FTP-Preview Database-files which contains the (preview) Thumbnails for FTP-Mode
../Inquisitor/cache/cookies = like the name of the directory; all cookies will stored here (if "Store Cookies on HD" is enabled)
The (sub) directory structure of the last 4 directories is named by the URL (each 1st letter sperated by a dot). Example:
All files from an URL like: "www.somewhere.com" will stored in a directory called: "wsc". It will use the first letter seperated by each point. All files from "somewhere.somehow.net" will stored in "ssn" directory, and so on. The files therein will named like the same URL, coded in HTML shortcuts, but with a maximum of 80 characters. Example:
"www.somewhere.com/index.html" will saved as:"www.somewhere.com%2Findex.html" in directory: "Inquisitor/cache/html/wsc/" ("%2F" is the HTML-coded form of a slash "/"). All other files, such as Images, Icons, videos, music and so on, will saved in the same way, even if this file will selected for saving in the destination directory !
That means: Inquisitor will save ALL files 1st in it's cache, BEFORE it will copied to the destination directory.
So it's very important allways to clean the cache, which can be done automatically by FIQ (if "Cache cleaning" is turned on).
Otherwise you will get very fast, a very big cache, while your Harddisk runs out of space !
Most files can edited/viewed by normal editors/viewers, but if you change something, you should allways make a backup of these files !
In the following, i will explain some keywords, used in this Help-Instructions (for beginners only):
"Frames" = a HTML-Site which contain further HTML-Files within the displayed site.
"Inline Images" = Links to Images, which will not point directly to an Image File (such like ".JPG"). Instead the link points to another HTML-File which contains the desired Image-File, but contains also much more Image Files, which should not be downloaded.
"Link Type Icons" = The little Icons in the top, left corner of each (linked) Image (Thumbnail), to indicate the Type of File "behind" this Thumbnail. As Example: you will get a litte Paintbucket, if the Link behind a Thumbnail points to a ".JPG" File. If it points to a HTML-File you will get a little "World"-Icon (other Filetypes were indicated by other Icons).
"Bookmarks" = saves your favorite Sites as an URL (just like "favorites" in "IE").
"History" = a special Memory which stores the last visited Sites.
"Selection" = the little Box under the HTML-Site (Workarea), which stores all selected Files.
"Thumbnail" = a little preview Image, of a big(ger) Image File.
"HTML" = a Page description language, which describes the "look" of a Site.
"HTTP" = the Protocol used for communication (transfer) of HTML-Pages.
"HTTPS" = secured (encoded) Version of HTTP-protocol.
"FTP" = File Transfer Protocol, used for pure Filetransfers.
"Cookie" = a little File which stores Data from the HTTP-Server on your Harddisk (or maybe in RAM-Memory).
"Link" = a clickable piece, which points to another Document.
"Browser" = a Tool which shows HTML-pages (such like "IE", "Mozilla", "Konqueror", "FireFox", and so on).
"Cache" = a special Directory which stores Data recieved from a HTTP-Server.
If you need further Information about some Topics, you should search in the Internet with "Google" (or something like that).
If you encounter other Problems not described here, or in the included Textfiles, you may write me a little eMail to: frenzy7@freenet.de.
But PLEASE; do NOT ask such stupid questions like: "Could i eat a Cookie ?", or something else.
Hey,
and if you are a French, Spanish, Netherland, or Italien (or any other People, which can write another language), you may write some translations for Inquisitor; and i will put your name in the "About Inquisitor"-Window within the "Inquisitor.EXE"-File !
- Have a look in the "../SYSTEM/"-Directory for the Files with Ending: ".FQL"; they can be edited with a simple ASCII Text-Editor like "NotePad", "kEdit", or something like that.
But please: only real translations (i will check it, with a Translator-Tool !), and not only stupid shit !
Puh, you read ALL the Text above (and i wrote it all); you should turn off the Lights, fasten your Seat-Belts, get a cold Coke, and enjoy Inquisitor.
-That's what i will do now; cause writing such a Programm (and the neverending Help-Documentation) was very hard, and costs me many headaches, litres of Coke (and of course many coffee), to get to this point...
