Bookmarking Application TidyFavorites Pro - Features
(Page 3 of 4 )
Along with TidyFavorites' excellent design features comes a whole multitude of other excellent features sure to keep even the most disorganized user clean and tidy. For example, the TidyFavorite's page is easily accessed from the browser toolbar by clicking on the "TidyFavorites" button. The site recommends using the TidyFavorites page as your home page, and though it's just an option, it would be a very good choice for anyone who uses Google often. The page provides a quick search box that can be used to search Google, Google Images or Wikipedia. Despite this wide range of choices, TidyFavorites does not give users the option to change their search providers; it's Google or nothing.
The thumbnails featured on TidyFavorites aren't like other thumbnails; users have the choice of either making them "static," meaning the image does not update itself, or "dynamic," meaning the thumbnail image is updated to reflect any changes. The thumbnails can also be resized at will as well as zoomed into using the mouse wheel. This feature allows users to zoom into certain sections or an entire area of a website that displays updated information, such as a stock ticker, latest comments section, current weather or the top story on a newspaper's home page. If the thumbnail is set to update automatically, users will end up with a type of improvised information widget within TidyFavorites.
All things in life, from food to technology, are made all the better when portable, and TidyFavorites has applied this philosophy to their software. Users can install a portable version of TidyFavorites to carry their favorites around on a flash drive. This is, of course, just an option, and it can either be chosen or decided against when initially installing the program.
The controls automatically provided by the software will prove to be another tool making navigating favorites all the more convenient. Two buttons are provided: "Display TidyFavorites" and "Add URL to TidyFavorites." Using either Internet Explorer or Firefox will most likely require that these controls be added to the command bar manually . The controls also immediately appear on the Google toolbar (if it's being used), which users may or may not like. TidyFavorites users also have the option of running with Windows and appearing as an icon in the system tray. Other helpful features include easily being able to add browser favorites to the TidyFavorites page by simply dragging and dropping them onto it.
