Preferences
The preferences dialog box is opened from the Options Menu. It allows the user to customize
the Hugin user interface. Figure 1 and Figure 2 shows the preferences
dialog box with each of the two tabs chosen.

tab chosen.

In the General Options tab (Figure 1) you can
specify
- how many files you want to be shown in the recently used files list of the File Menu,
- if and how
often you want to auto-save (auto-save file is named <netname>_AUTOSAVED.net),
- if you want a sound indication when an error occurs,
- if you want error messages to appear in popup dialog boxes or just in the
status bar of the Main Window
- the number of most recent error messages to be kept in a history list of
errors (accessible through the Show Last Error item of the View
Menu)
- if you want warnings to appear when performing operations on OOBNs that
may lead to a situation of inconsistency (making it impossible to load the
OOBN later on) - such operations can be performed when only sub-networks of
an OOBN have been loaded (useful when several
people work on the same overall project), and could, for example, be
operations like renaming a class, an input
node, or an output node,
changing the node category or kind
of an input node, changing the number of states of an output node, or delete
an input node or an output node,
- if you want the Node List Pane
to be displayed in Run Mode,
- if you want network windows
to be repainted while dragging for resizing,
- if you want Hugin to check for updates on the internet each time it starts
up,
- if you want to use an image file as wallpaper on the background of the Main
Window,
- which browser you wish to use for displaying these help pages.
