> Multi-Tasking During Site Analysis Foreground Mode Runs

  Running an eValid Site Analysis in Full Browser mode is the most
  accurate type of mapping of a website because the pages being
  analyzed are actually downloaded and fully rendered by the eValid
  browser as it spiders through the site.

  A constraint of analyzing a website in full browser mode, using
  the default mode settings, is that there should be no other task
  performed from within the host machine while the site analyzer is
  running.  This operating mode is chosen as the default because it
  yields the most accurate timing results.  In addition, it avoids
  site analysis problems by automatically closing any new windows
  that the website might try to open.

  To perform other tasks in a machine that running an eValid Site
  Analysis -- assuming that you are willing to give up on the
  complete accuracy of the download timings -- you may make these
  simple changes to the current settings in the eValid preferences
  menu:

    (1) Open the eValid Site Analysis Preferences menu by clicking
        "Settings > Site Analysis Preferences" or by pressing the
        shortcut key "Ctrl + F3"

    (2) Select the "Mode and Cache Control Option" from the
        preferences menu.

    (3) Uncheck the "Always Hold Focus" option.

    (4) Uncheck the "Auto Close New Browser Windows" option.

    (5) Save your current settings.

    (6) Start the eValid Site Analysis run.

  During the Site Analysis of the targeted website you can now run
  other processes in the foreground because eValid focus is now
  shared with the entire desk-top.
