Preferences dialog

The Preferences dialog allows the modification of both site- and user-level preferences. The dialog consists of thirteen views or groups of preference attributes.

User-level preferences can be manipulated directly and saved. Site level preferences need to be locked before they can be modified to prevent concurrent modification by two users. However, you can break a lock of another user.
The dialog offers the following buttons that are present at the bottom of all views:

OK | Saves the current modifications to the corresponding preferences file (dependent on the level), updates SNiFF+ with the changes and closes the Preferences tool.
Cancel | Discards all changes and reverts to the last saved version of the active view.
Apply | Saves the current modifications to the corresponding preferences file (dependent on the level) and updates SNiFF+ with the changes.
Default | Resets all values in the current view to those in the next preferences level. For example, you may want to press this button at the user level to reset the complete view and to take all values from the site level.
