Use file browser instead of folder browser for open/save enables you to browse by file instead of by folder when opening or saving a DVD.  Note:  Folder browsing enables you to open the DVD simply by selecting a folder containing DVD files.  If you browse by file, you will need to select a DVD file.

 

If Auto-adjust Command Editor to contents is checked, the Command Editor’s height will change whenever you select another command, so that the GUI fits exactly in the window.  This is a very handy space saver.

 

Allow Menu Tearoffs adds a dotted line as the first element of each menu. Selecting (clicking on) this dotted line allows you to detach the menu as a floating window which you can place wherever you want. You may use this, for example, to change several options at once in a torn off menu. Do NOT use this option with Tcl/Tk Aqua on Mac.

 

If Popup menus on right mouse button released is checked, then the right click menus appear only on the release of the button, instead of its click.

 

Global font enables you to change the default font for PgcEdit (which is MS Sans Serif 8 point on the Windows platform).  Restart PgcEdit to make this change take effect.

 

Fixed width font enables you to select a font for items which display in a fixed width.

 

Use custom colours for GUI enables you to choose your own colour for PgcEdit’s background.

 

PgcEdit uses the default Windows colour for listboxes. If the default background colour is not white, and you prefer it to be so, tick White listbox background

 

Many of PgcEdit’s functions allow you to hide the dialogue box for future reference.  If you want to turn them back on for this session only, check Display hidden dialogue boxes during current session.

 

To restore all hidden dialogues permanently, check Restore all hidden dialogue boxes. To manually edit the hidden dialogue settings, go to %appdata%/PgcEdit and open hiddendialogs.cfg in a text editor.

 

Check Open Yes/No/Cancel boxes under the mouse pointer opens Yes/No/Cancel dialogue boxes with the default button underneath the mouse pointer.

 

Some systems have experienced crashes when a system sound was played with a standard Yes/No/Cancel dialogue.  Play Sounds with Yes/No/Cancel boxes will allow you either to: (i) turn off sounds altogether, (ii) play the “bell” only as a sound or (iii) use system sounds (if you are not experiencing problems).  Note that this should not be an issue anymore.
