Preferences

Use this dialog if you want to define global settings in iCalamus.

The dialog offers multiple pages where you can adjust parameters individually.

General

Here you can define how iCalamus should behave on program launch, and how documents can be saved automatically, if necessary.

Update

iCalamus can be set to check automatically on program launch if updates for iCalamus or iCalamus plug-ins are available. Alternatively, the check can be initiated manually from this dialog.

Measurement

Here you define your preferred measurement units for pages, fonts and lines.

Screen Resolution

In the section Screen Resolution, you can adjust the scaling of documents on screen.

Default Document

Here you define which parameters should be assigned to a new document by default. You can define the number of pages, double page mode, page format and page orientation, guides and columns. You may change these default parameters again, even when creating a new document.

Remove Preferences

All iCalamus preferences are saved on your hard drive and ensure that iCalamus will be set on next launch as it was when you left it.
You may need to remove the preferences from your hard drive now and then. To do this, open a window of your main hard drive in the Finder. It's named Macintosh HD by default. Navigate to the folder ~/Library/Preferences and search the file named net.calamus.iCalamus.plist – it contains all iCalamus preferences. When you delete this file, iCalamus will start with default settings next time.
