Usage of the LOCAL Gearing Commander How it works: The operation of the LOCAL Gearing Commander is the same as the Online version. That is because the same interface -your browser- is used. That means no program is actually installed, you cannot find it in the list of installed programs in your Control Panel. The principle behind it is that all used pages (URL-links) are made available offline. This is being done using a new Google program called 'Google Gears'. (Great name isn't it ! More info on this: Google Gears ) This Google Gears program you have to install once and this one you will find in your installed program list in your control panel (Windows). After this is installed it can be used for all kind of web-sites that have enabled their site to be used Offline. I did this for the Gearing Commander. After installing Google gears you have to 'install' the GC LOCAL version. This is not really an install, all pages needed, files pictures etc are copied to your computer for use without an Internet connection. How to start the LOCAL version: To start
the LOCAL version,
only use the favorite or bookmark you created during the
installation procedure.
How to use the LOCAL Version: Like explained earlier, you can use it as if it where the Online version. Also the usage of Personal Setup's (Load and Save) works in the LOCAL version (provided you have enabled cookies). If you saved Personal Setups in the Online version, you cannot load these in the Offline version (and the other way around). So also in the Offline version you have to save your Personal setups once after which you can load it (in the Offline version) whenever you want. All functions that need an Internet connection like send Comment or Add Bike are left out of the LOCAL versions menu obviously. |
