The General Preferences
window contains properties that are application specific. It allows you to set
the default behavior of the Synchronizer Document and the synchronization process.
The document settings will take effect on the next new document. All other settings
will take place immediately.
Below is a description of each property in the General Preferences window.
Window Size & Display - You can set the default size of the Synchronizer Document window manually by typing in the values in each box or, if you have a window open, you may size the window to your liking then press the "Current" button for the current window's values to take effect. "Current" only works if a Synchronizer Document window is open. Under this heading, you also have the option to "Show options drawer on open". If this box is checked, the Options drawer will be opened each time a new Synchronizer Document is opened.
Application Behavior - There are four options that you may choose under this heading. The "Launch at login" option, if checked, will launch ChronoSync when the user logs in to their computer. The "Create new document on activate", if checked, will open a new document each time ChronoSync launches. The "Hide" option is only available if "Launch at login" is currently selected. The "Hide" option allows ChronoSync to start up in a hidden state. Lastly, the "Synchronous Scheduling" option will allow only one scheduled item to run at a time. That scheduled item will have to finish running before the next scheduled item will be started. When the option is not selected the scheduled items are allowed to run concurrently.
Sync Documents Initial State - There are four categories under this heading. They are:Synchronizing Direction: When a new document is created, you can specify the synchronizing direction that you want to be the default direction.
Rule-base Mode: When a new document is created, you can specify the rule- base mode that you want to be the default mode.
Special Handling: When a new document is created, you can specify the special handling properties for synchronization that you want to be the default settings.
Allowed time difference: When a new document is created, you can specify the allowed time difference that you want to be the default threshold.
