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.
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.
Click this button to change the data folder location; see above.
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.
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.
Click this button to display the page of the User Guide
that discusses this window, i.e. the page you are reading now.
