General Options
Miscellaneous options to customize the way
DHTML Menu Builder works.
Open last project when DMB starts: When checked, DHTML Menu Builder will open the project you were working on when you last closed the program.
Auto Recover: When checked, DHTML Menu Builder saves a copy of your
work
every time you make
any change to it. If the program shuts down abnormally (because Windows crashes or you lose power, for
example) you will be prompted to recover your last changes the next time you launch DHTML Menu Builder.
Show logo splash-screen when DMB starts: When checked,
a splash screen with useful information will be displayed each time you start DHTML Menu Builder. This option has
no effect on how long it takes DHTML Menu
Builder to start.
Enable Undo/Redo: When checked, enables DHTML Menu Builder's Undo/Redo feature. Although clearing this checkbox this will speed up DHTML Menu
Builder processes, it prevents you from undoing
changes to your project. It is highly recommended that you keep this function enabled (checked).
Show Project Properties when creating a new project:
When checked, every
time a new project is created, DHTML Menu Builder will display the Project Properties dialog.
Use Advanced Menu Installation Tools: When checked, DHTML Menu Builder will provide a set of more advanced tools to help you in the process of setting up the menus on your web pages. When unchecked, DHTML Menu Builder will use the
Install
Menus dialog. The advanced tools include:
- Install Loader Code: Used to install the menus.
- Install Frames Loader Code: Used to install the menus when the
frames support is enabled.
- Remove Loader Code: Used to remove the menus.
The functionality of these two is very similar, however advanced users may find
that the advanced tools offer greater flexibility and speed than the default Install Menus dialog.
Enable Project Locking: When checked, this option locks projects
so that no other instance of DHTML Menu Builder can use them. This is useful if several users have access
to the same project(s) and you need to avoid two or more
users accessing the same project simultaneously. (Doing so could
easily result in a corrupted file.) If you're the only one with access to your
projects, it is recommended that you leave this option unchecked.
Default To Map View: DHTML Menu Builder supports
displaying the menu items on the main interface in two modes: Normal
and Map. While in Map view DHTML Menu Builder renders the menus
using a tree-like interface. This is very useful when working on
large projects with many submenus. Note that in this mode DHTML Menu
Builder will run a bit slower. When checked (the default setting), DHTML Menu Builder will open in
Map view.
