Handling Internet Addresses and Locations

Carnet activates the Internet addresses and locations entered in the records. When an Internet address is put in a number field, and if the zone is set to Internet, dialing the number starts an Internet action.

Carnet looks for an application to do the job according to the type of data and to the computer's Internet settings:

• An e-mail address will be passed to the e-mail program, which in turn will create a new message to that address.
• An URL (Uniform Resource Locator, the address of a web page or of a file on the Internet) is passed to the web browser, which in turn will display the corresponding page.

Thus, you can group in Carnet's records all the Internet data related to the people and companies in your lists, notably their e-mail addresses and web sites, instead of spreading these informations in specific applications that only care about one kind of data (e-mail programs, web browsers, etc.). Maintaining up-to-date data gets much easier.

URLs and e-mail addresses don't need to be in numbers fields. They can be placed anywhere in a record, notably in the Notes field. Command-clicking the URL will activate it, even in browse mode.

URL Drag & Drop

Carnet accepts URL dragged directly from web pages. Thus, Carnet can be used as an efficient bookmark manager. When you wish to keep the address of a web page handy, drag its URL straight to the Carnet list.

• If the URL is dropped in a field, it is inserted in the field as text. If the field is a number field, the zone is set to Internet.
• If the URL is dropped on the list, Carnet extracts the company name (if possible) from the URL, creates a new record and puts the URL in the first number.

Dragging a bookmark directly from a web browser is supported. To retrieve the web page later, simply 'dial' the URL and the page will reload in your web browser.
