In the Project selection dialog area, you have applied directory files, project files and their sub-files (*.pra, *.3db, etc.).

For all these you can make special settings on the subpages of tabbed page Settings.

In the following sections, the single subpages and fields are described in detail:

Tabbed page "Settings"

Tabbed page "Settings"

[Note]Note

The tabs can be arranged via Drag & Drop as desired.

The position is saved via config entry, so that the last arrangement is shown when opening again.

[Note]Note

The tabbed pages in the Settings dialog area are composed differently depending on directory level (directory, folder, project, subfile) and Project type.

The following section "Overview" is to be used as orientation.
