  Caboodle > Preferences Index

Advanced

The Preferences window is displayed via the Caboodle > Preferences menu item. This is the Advanced page. It includes options that normally don't need changing, but are available for power users.

Data folder location

This displays the path where your Caboodle data will be kept. Normally you'd leave it at the default, but you can change it if you wish. Any change to this setting will take effect after Caboodle is next started, so you should change the preference, quit Caboodle, then move the folder in the Finder. If you move the folder before changing the preference, Caboodle will create a default data folder in the old location, so you can simply delete that afterwards. The default location is ~/Library/Application Support/Dejal/Caboodle, where ~ represents your home folder.

Set

Click this button to change the data folder location; see above.

Keep the previous version as a backup when saving

If checked, a backup copy of the data file is kept when saving. The backup is in the same location, but with a tilde (~) suffix before the extension. If something goes wrong, you can replace your current file with the backup by deleting the current file and renaming the backup to remove the tilde. This defaults to on.

Restore Defaults

Click this button to change the preferences on this page back to the factory-set values. Preferences on other pages are not affected. A confirmation sheet is presented, unless it was disabled.

HelpClick this button to display the page of the User Guide that discusses this window, i.e. the page you are reading now.
