The Preferences window is displayed via the Caboodle >
Preferences
menu item. This is the General page. It includes some
general-purpose options.
Click the [Select] button to choose a font to use for new
entries. If the Use when inheriting from a sibling or parent
entry
checkbox is checked, this font is used when an entry is
selected before adding a new one. If it is unchecked, the font of that
entry is used instead (and thus the default font is only used when
adding with no existing entries are selected).
If this box is checked, when adding a new entry that isn't
based on another one (i.e. you click Add Entry when no existing entry
is selected), the text area will display the ruler by default.
Otherwise, it is not displayed. When adding an entry based on another
one, the ruler state is inherited. You can toggle the ruler state via
the Text > Show Ruler
command. This defaults to on.
This enables you to include or exclude the dates an entry was created and last modified on printed and exported entries. By default the dates are included.
Similarly, this checkbox controls whether the entry Subject is included on printed and exported entries. This defaults to on.
If the entry has custom fields, they are included on printouts and exported entries if this option is on. By default it is.
This checkbox will control whether or not Caboodle is automatically launched after you log in to your Mac. Checking it is equivalent to adding Caboodle to the Login Items in your System Preferences. The default value reflects whether or not Caboodle is currently in your Login Items.
This checkbox controls whether or not Caboodle displays a sheet
to confirm quitting. Since Caboodle is designed to remain running all
the time normally, this confirmation sheet will help you avoid
accidentally quitting the application. The sheet has a don't ask
again
checkbox that turns off this preference; you can make it ask
again by turning this preference back on. This defaults to on.
This checkbox controls whether or not Caboodle displays a sheet
to confirm restoring defaults. This confirmation helps avoid
accidentally losing your preference customizations. This preference
applies to the confirmations for all preference pages. The sheet also
has a don't ask again
checkbox. 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.
