The second section of the
Settings

way the panel pages are rendered as to optimize the appearance of the pages. This change only
applies when G4 PanelPreview is operating in Windowed Mode (actual size). The two radio button
options are:

panel page in G4 PanelPreview.

Additionally, within the Settings dialog is the section
Default Directories
. It allows you to change
the default directory used by G4 PanelPreview. When viewing a panel file G4 PanelPreview opens
and temporarily stores all files associated with the construction of the panel, i.e., XML, fonts,
sounds and images. Upon closing the panel file within G4 PanelPreview, all temporary files created
during the session are removed.
The field
Temp Folder Location
is the current location G4 PanelPreview stores supporting files.
Unless otherwise noted, the default location for the temp files is wherever the source panel file is
located. The button to the right of the
Temp Folder Location
field opens a browse dialog where you
can search and choose the location of the temp files.
The
Reset
button returns the
Temp Folder Location
to the last established file path.
The
OK
button accepts the changes and closes the
Settings
dialog.
The
Cancel
button closes the
Settings
dialog without making any changes.
The
Apply
button makes changes without closing the
Settings
dialog.
