CiderPress II - Application Settings

Settings

There are a handful of application-level settings that can be edited with Edit > Settings.

Auto-Open Depth - determines how deeply archives are scanned for the presence of other archives. If set to Shallow, only the top level is opened. At Sub-Volume, filesystems and file archives are scanned, but it won't try to open file archives or disk images stored inside file archives or disk images (with some exceptions). At Max, all file are examined.
Import/Export Conversion - these are the same as the Conversion Settings buttons in the panel on the right side of the main window. Those buttons are only accessible when a file is open, so there's a copy here that can be used whether or not a file is open. The behavior is otherwise the same.
Apple II Cassette Decoder - specifies method to use when decoding Apple II audio cassette recordings. Most files work correctly with zero-crossing, but some distorted audio may work better with a peak-to-peak measurement. This affects files when they are opened, and will not cause re-analysis of a currently-open file.
Enable MacZip Handling - enables special treatment of files in the __MACOSX directory in ZIP archives. These files are AppleDouble "header" files, which can contain file attributes and resource forks. When this feature is enabled, the header files are hidden, and the file entries are shown with full attributes. When disabled, all files are shown as they would appear in a standard ZIP archive utility.
Enable DOS Text Conversion - if enabled, DOS text files copied between a DOS filesystem and a different filesystem, with drag & drop or copy & paste, will have the high bit set or cleared on the file contents as appropriate. This does not affect add/extract (which never modifies files) or import/export (which always modifies files), just direct disk-to-disk copies.

An option near the bottom, Enable DEBUG menu, can be used to add a DEBUG menu to the application. This has some additional features intended to help debug CiderPress II. They're not generally useful.

Application settings are stored in a file called "CiderPress2-settings.json". It can be found in the directory with the CiderPress II application executable. If the file is removed, all settings will revert to defaults.
