The General preferences control the look and behavior of the Bibble user interface. Bibble lets you set preferences for the following user interface features:
• | VCR panel size: Sets the size of the icons in the user interface when you work in Work Queue mode. |
• | Quick preview steps: Sets the number of low-resolution preview images that are processed when making edits to an image. The higher values allow Bibble to work with lower resolution images first, showing your image edits immediately. The lower values tell Bibble to work with only higher resolution images, which might slow down the time it takes to display the image with your changes. |
• | Click-tool sample size: Sets the size of the averaging window used to report pixels for display and for the Click White tool. |
• | Disable tool palette docking: Sets the user interface to block any attempt to dock image setting tools inside the main application window. Default value is off. |
• | Hide toolbars: Turns off the display of the Bibble toolbars at the next launch of the program. Default value is off. |
• | Do not delete temporary work queues on window closing: Sets the application to save temporary work queues after the work queue window is closed. |
• | Fully process images in background window: Sets the processing order so that images in background windows are not processed until after the preview image is processed. |
• | Partially process foreground images: Sets the processing order so that Bibble processes all images as if they were in the foreground. When this option is turned on, initial processing takes longer, but there is no wait time (due to delayed processing) when switching between images. |
• | Always open images "Fit to Screen": Sets the image display size so that the image fills the available space. In some cases, this might require Bibble to resample the saved preview image to make it larger, which could require more time for loading images. |
• | Do not auto-save layout changes: Sets Bibble's auto-save feature so that adjustments to the screen layout are not saved. After this setting is turned on, the screen layout defaults to the last saved settings. Turning on this feature activates the Set as Default context menu items that enable you to save a particular screen layout as your new default. |
• | Save settings files (.bib) with original images: Saves a copy of the settings file with the original image. If this feature is not turned on, the image settings file is saved in the database. Default value is off. |
• | Favorite hot-keys move files instead of copying: Sets the hot-key behavior for the Set as Favorite preference so that files are moved out of the source folder and into the designated favorite folder. |
• | Invert the mouse wheel for sliders: Tells Bibble to swap the direction control sliders should move when controlling sliders with a mouse wheel roll. |
• | Conserve Memory while batch processing (slower): Forces Bibble to use less memory during batching, which can increase reliability on computers with low a amount of memory. |
