Favorite Wikis
The "Favorites" menu can be customized to contain links to wikis you need often and allows to open them by selecting a menu entry and optionally by an icon in the toolbar and/or by a shortcut.
Add wiki
To simply add a wiki, choose "Add wiki" in the "Favorites" menu. In the dialog you can enter
the title of the wiki
a keyboard shortcut (e.g. "Alt-1") if desired
the path or wiki URL of the wiki (by default, this field contains the path of the current wiki),
if you want to open the wiki in a new window
if you want to show an icon in toolbar. If so, you can also enter
the position in toolbar relative to other favorite icons (up to 9 icons can be there)
the name of the icon to show
Manage wikis
Currentöy an advanced management can only be done by editing some text, the so-called functional page of the favorite wikis. To open it, either go in tree to "Views"->"Func. pages"->"Favorite wikis" or use in "Favorites" menu the entry "Manage favorites".
A line in the page follows the syntax:
TitletShortcut;Flags;Iconname=Path
Title is the wiki title shown in "Favorites" menu
After t you can enter the shortcut. If you don't want a shortcut, you can omit the t as well
Flags can contain an 'n' to show the wiki in a new window and/or a digit to determine icon position in toolbar. Flags can also be empty.
Iconname is name of the icon
Path can be a path or a wiki URL of the wiki to open
Examples
Only the necessary things:
CoolWiki=C:DataWikisCoolWikiCoolWiki.wiki
With shortcut:
CoolWikitAlt-1=C:DataWikisCoolWikiCoolWiki.wiki
With shortcut and new window:
CoolWikitAlt-1;n=C:DataWikisCoolWikiCoolWiki.wiki
Full blown with shortcut and icon "flash" at position 2 in toolbar:
CoolWikitAlt-1;2n;flash=C:DataWikisCoolWikiCoolWiki.wiki
Remarks
If multiple entries refer to the same toolbar position, only one of the icons is shown (chosen arbitrarily).
