Preferences Dialog

You can change preferences such as the time between automatically saved backup files, your Web browser, and the size of your disk cache through the preferences dialog.

Find It: Choose File > Preferences...

Several preference panels have drop pockets. These allow you to drag icons from the desktop and drop them directly into the panel. Cosmo Create determines the file type of the icon, and interpret and insert the appropriate information into the panel.

The types of preferences you can set are:

All these preferences are accessible by clicking the appropriate tab in the tabbed deck. By default, the general preferences appear. The preferences are saved in .cosmocreate/cosmocreat-preferences in your home directory. The settings in the View menu are also saved when the preferences are saved.

Note: When you make a change to the Proxy or Cache settings in the the preferences dialog, you effect the operation of any application that uses Web support (cosmoworlds, for example). You need to restart those applications for the preferences to take effect.
