Picture of preferences

This is the preferences dialog, which contains a number of checkboxes, ordinary buttons and a combobox.

Case sensitive search - if this box is checked all search dialogs will interpet lower and upper case as diffrent characters, otherwise they will be interpet as the same character.

Delimiter style - this combobox shows what kind of delimeter is to use between the diffrent types of fields. There are five diffrent types of delimeter style and none delimeter.

Expand macros - if this box is checked all macros will be expanded to whatever they are macros for, otherwise the macros will be shown as is. This preference will not affect ordinary strings or catenaded macros.

Lazy update - if this box is checked all changes made to the column-width in the main window or changing of reference type in the insert or the edit dialog, will be made first after the mouse button have been released, otherwise will the changes occur at once. (If the database is large these will result in some flicker when changing column-width.)

Save unused macros - if this box is checked all macros will be saved when the user saves the bib-file, otherwise will only macros which is used by some reference be saved.

Show startup-message - if this box is checked a startup-message be shown when Barracuda is started, otherwise will no startup-message be shown.

Show warnings - if this box is checked a warning message will be shown when the user makes an error (i.e. forgets an important field in a reference when inserting or editing or forgets to save the database before start writning a new database), otherwise will no warnings be shown for these kinds of errors.

Verbose parser mode - if this box is checked all parser information will be diplayed when opening a database, otherwise no parser information will be shown (if the box is checked the opening of a database will take significante longer).

The OK button stores the preferences to use in this session, but not for later sessions with Barracuda. To save preferences for later session the user must choose Save Options from the Options menu (Options->Save Options).

The Default button changes the preferences to the default settings, which is shown in the picture above.

The Cancel button will forfeit all changes you have made after the user choose Option->Preferences.

The OK and Cancel button will close the dialog, but the Default button will not close the dialog.

These options corresponding to set-preferences in the .barracuda file.
