Options Dialog

By default, when you minimize Movie Viewer, a shortcut button on the main part of the taskbar lets you reopen the application. However, you can select this check box if you want to minimize Movie Viewer to the system tray instead. With this option selected, a shortcut icon is placed in the system tray (i.e., notification area) of the taskbar when Movie Viewer is minimized. You can click on this icon and select Restore to reopen the application.

Select this check box if you want Movie Viewer to reload documents automatically. In other words, if you have topics or editor pages open and then close the project, this option ensures that those same documents are reopened the next time you open the project.

Select this check box if you want Movie Viewer to periodically auto-save any open files. You can specify the number of minutes that should elapse between each auto-save.

If you want certain types of files to open automatically in the Document Dock pane, enter those file extensions in this field, separating each one with a semi-colon (e.g., xml;text;asp). The Document Dock pane is an empty window pane that is docked by default on the left side of the Movie Viewer interface. You can use this pane to display any type of document in that window pane, instead of displaying the document in its current location.

You can have multiple files of all types open in the interface at the same. By default, when you open a new file, other documents that are already open remain open. However, you can change this behavior so that files already open in the interface are automatically closed when you open a new document. See Closing Files Automatically.

You can use any of the following auto-close options:

• Close others This option automatically closes all other open documents.
• Close others with no changes This option automatically closes all other open documents that do not have unsaved changes. If you have files open where changes have been made but not saved, those files will remain open until you save and close them.
• Close others with same extension This option automatically closes all other open documents that share the same file extension.
• Close others with same extension and no changes This option is the same as the previous option, except that files with unsaved changes will not automatically be closed. Those files remain open until you save and close them.
