Selecting this option opens the application choices dialogue. There are three action buttons at the foot of the dialogue. Set will apply the choices with immediate effect. However, any changes made will last only until UnitConv is quit. Save will apply the choices with immediate effect, and will also save the settings so they will be reloaded when UnitConv is run on another occasion. Cancel will simply close the dialogue, and any alterations made will be ignored.
In the Image size section you can choose
- The dpi value to use when UnitConv starts
- The size units (pixel, mm or inch) selected when UnitConv starts
In the Clicks on iconbar icon section, you can choose which conversion window will open when you click SELECT or ADJUST on the iconbar icon.
The final option Show 'Gas mark' in temperature, when selected, will result in an additional item appearing in the temperature conversion set, that will show the 'gas mark' corresponding to particular temperatures. Outwith the normal oven range, (gas mark 1/4 to 9), the field will show n/a.
Edit units data...
- This leads to a dialogue which allows the unit conversion data to be edited, from simply correcting typing errors in the default conversions, to adding completely new groups of conversions. Full details of this dialogue are given here.
Quit
- This closes the application, removing the application icon from the iconbar.
