The jprefs Preferences Manager
The
jprefs application is just a wrapper around
the
jstools Global Preferences panel, which lets you set preferences shared among all the
jstools applications. The supported
jstools applications all have menu entries to bring up the Global Preferences
panel, so
jprefs is just a convenience for setting preferences when you don't
have any other
jstools applications already running.
The
jprefs application is distributed as part of the
jstools package.
This help file describes
jprefs version 4.1/4.4.
Copyright and contact information is available in
the
jstools documentation.
jprefs
When you invoke
jprefs, it displays
the
jstools Global Preferences panel. It exits when you close the panel by clicking Save or Done.
See the documentation for
the
jstools Global Preferences panel.
Feel free to report bugs (and feature requests) to me,
<js@aq.org>, and I will try to deal with them. Also, feel free to fix
bugs or add features on your own and let me know how you did it.
Future Directions
* I hope to overhaul the preferences mechanism so that global
preferences and applicationspecific preferences can be accessed
from some sort of master preferences panel, and so that related
preferences can be grouped more easily. That will affect the
design of
jprefs.
