Description

Preferences in Draco expose a selection of program settings to the user.  All preferences are user-specific, meaning that each user can store unique settings on a multi-user operating system.

Usage

To access the preferences dialog, select Preferences... from the File Menu.  The preferences dialog should then appear.
Preferences Dialog

The preferences dialog contains tabs organizing preferences into categories.  Pressing the Ok button saves all preferences in the dialog.

Method

Draco saves all preferences using the Java Preferences framework.  The framework uses a preference storage mechanism that is appropriate for the particular platform that Draco is running on.  For example, preferences will be saved to the registry on Microsoft Windows platforms.  Each panel is stored as a JSON object for retrieval later.
