Forms Tab:

These configurations allow you to automatically select images and/or references to images found on the original page when the ISP Form is created. Enabling these configurations is the same as creating the ISP Form and then selecting specific "Add All" check boxes in the headers of the tables and either can be over ridden using the corresponding "Add All" boxes in the ISP Form.
Auto Select Image Files In Forms
Enabling this option in your user configuration will cause all of the selection boxes in the content
column of the Images Table to be checked when the form is generated. The images are not added
to your fusker collection until the
button is clicked, but it allows you to view the exact images which will be added when the button is clicked.
Often there are header, separator, and footer images on the page which you may not want to add to your
fusker collection. If this is the case, you can simply uncheck the boxes for those images.
This option is most useful when there are more images on the page which you wish to add to your fusker than images which you do not want added. There is always a tradeoff between the number of images you will have to unselect vs. the number you would have had to select if the configuration was not enabled.
Auto Select URL Links To Images In FormsEnabling this option in your user configuration has a similar affect on how the form is generated. As the form is generated, URL links in the links columns of the Images Table and Links Table are inspected to see if they link to files of known image file types. The selection box for each URL which links to a known image file type is automatically checked.
By default the Clean Link is checked first against known image file types, followed by the Sterile Link and finally the Original Link. This setting is equivalent to checking the Add all direct image references to collection check boxes in the header of both tables.

These configurations allow you to automatically select videos and/or references to videos found on the original page when the ISP Form is created. Enabling these configurations is the same as creating the ISP Form and then selecting specific "Add All" check boxes in the headers of the tables and either can be over ridden using the corresponding "Add All" boxes in the ISP Form.
Auto Select Video Files In Forms
Enabling this option in your user configuration will cause all of the selection boxes in the content
column of the Videos Table to be checked when the form is generated. The videos are not added
to your fusker collection until the
button is clicked, but it allows you to view the exact videos which will be added when the button is clicked.
Enabling this option in your user configuration has a similar affect on how the form is generated. As the form is generated, URL links in the links columns of the Images Table and Links Table are inspected to see if they link to MP4 files. The selection box for each URL which links to a MP4 file is automatically checked.
By default the Clean Link is checked first against known image file types, followed by the Sterile Link and finally the Original Link. This setting is equivalent to checking the Add all direct video references to collection check boxes in the header of both tables.

Frames are embeded on many modern webpages as wither a source of streaming video content or as interactive ad conntent. However, they can never be "referenced" by a hyper link, so there is only one ISP Form configuration related to frames.
Auto Select Frames Forms
Enabling this option in your user configuration will cause all of the selection boxes in the content
column of the Frames Table to be checked when the form is generated. The frames are not added
to your fusker collection until the
button is clicked, but it allows you to view the exact frames which will be added when the button is clicked.
Often frames appear as both desired content for your fusker collection and as active ads which you don't
want to collect.
This option is most useful when there are more frames on the page which you wish to add to your fusker than frames which you do not want added. There is always a tradeoff between the number of frames you will have to unselect vs. the number you would have had to select if the configuration was not enabled.

Forms Tab: Choosing Links To Search |
These configurations allow you to automatically select groups of pages to be searched in a Directed Search when the ISP Form is processed. Enabling them is the same as creating the ISP Form and then selecting the "Search All" check boxes at the top of the form and either can be over ridden using the corresponding "Search All" box in the ISP Form.
Auto Select Links From Images In Forms
Enabling this option in your user configuration will cause all of the search selection boxes in the
links column where there is an image in the content column to be checked when the form is generated.
Search boxes will only be present for links that are not direct image references.
The pages are not searched until the
button is clicked.
This option is most useful when most of the images on a page link to pages you wish to search but a few images link to pages you do not wish to search. This is a common case for Thumbnail Posts, where most of the images link to Free Hosted Galleries, but there are also headers and banner ad images which link to non Free Hosted Gallery pages.
By default the Clean Link is checked first against known image file types, followed by the Sterile Link and finally the Original Link.
Auto Select Links From Non-Image Text In Forms
Enabling this option in your user configuration will cause all of the search selection boxes in the
links column where there is not an image in the content column to be checked when the form is generated.
Search boxes will only be present for links that are not direct image references.
The pages are not searched until the
button is clicked.
This option is most useful when lists of text are used to link to Free Hosted Galleries. This alternative style of a Thumbnail Post isn't as common as it once was but is still seen from time to time.
By default the Clean Link is checked first against known image file types, followed by the Sterile Link and finally the Original Link.
