Info Panel The Info Panel is an optional panel that can be used by script authors to put customized info there, for example open webpage from Web field of comic Info. The Info panel opens in the browser, but without any complementary scripts enabled, it doesn’t show up. A basic knowledge of the preferences dialog & scripts is required to understand this panel, so we recommend that you first get acquainted with these above-mentioned sections, and then come back to the present page. Info Panel scripts are described in detail in the Scripts chapter.

How to use the Info Panel 1. First open the Preferences dialog & go to the Scripts tab. From the Available scripts section, enable the Web link script. Advanced users may also enable the Dummy Comic Info UI/HTML scripts. Click Ok & restart ComicRack™. 2. From the Browse menu, click Info Panel. Alternatively, use the Shift+F9 keyboard combo. 3. Identify the Info Panel docking grip at the bottom of the browser window. Click it to slide open the Info Panel. At its top, you will see tabs depicting the enabled info panel scripts. If only one script is enabled, no tabs will be seen. 4. In the browser, select any comic book with a valid web field. The Web link tab will show the page corresponding to the web address of the comic book. You may browse that complete website through this page. 5. You can dock the Info Panel (docked at bottom of the browser by default) to the right side of the browser with the Info Panel Right option, from the Dock menu. 4
