Test_URL

An extra feature of MapMarker.

This button is displayed in one of two ways :

Enabled State - displayed with writing in black
The button is displayed in this way if there is currently a selected object on the canvas, and it has been annotated to the degree of containing a string in its associated "url".
It is not a requirement for the specified file to exist.
Disabled State - displayed with writing greyed-out
The button is displayed in this way if :
  1. There is currently no selected object on the canvas.
    or
  2. The selected object has not been annotated with a string in its associated "url".
Pressing this button will call on your selected browser, passing it the url as an argument.
Please note that this is only a way of checking that each of the objects points to the correct file and that if you wish to check in full, you will have to set up the directory and files you wish to point to prior to marking up ( or at least testing ) an image.
If the files do not exist, your browser will appear with an appropriate error message.

For "Mosaic", each object can have its url tested in turn. This is done by selecting objects one at a time, and pressing the test button.
For other browsers, a window will appear along with the browser. When you wish to kill the browser press the "OK" button in the accompanying window. While this window is displayed, all menu functions in MapMarker are disabled.
