Chapter 2 Setting Application Options<br />

• Open file to most recent view. If this option is selected, when you open a site, it is<br />

displayed in the last view you worked in.<br />

• Use small fonts in properties panel. If you clear this check box, you see larger<br />

properties panels in Page view. To maximize the area available for your page<br />

Layout, leave this option selected.<br />

• Compact database upon exit. This option is selected by default. Compacting the<br />

files can save you substantial hard disk space. In addition, when this option is<br />

selected, <strong>NetObjects</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> performs an error-checking procedure to verify<br />

your database as it compacts the files. It is recommended that you do not change<br />

this setting.<br />

Warning:Do not shut down Windows while the file is being<br />

compacted. This could cause your .nod file to become<br />

unstable.<br />

• Edit locked objects. You can override locking permissions on a site by selecting<br />

this option. This allows you to edit a site without having to unlock each locked<br />

piece individually.<br />

• External file editors. You can select default applications for editing .html, .gif, and<br />

.jpg files from within <strong>NetObjects</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong>. You launch the default HTML editor<br />

by right-clicking the external HTML’s icon in Page view and selecting Open<br />

File In External Editor from the shortcut menu. You launch the default image<br />

editor by right-clicking the image in Page view or Style view or the image name<br />

in Assets view, and selecting Open File In External Editor from the shortcut<br />

menu. To choose an external file editor, click Browse and find the file that<br />

launches the application.<br />

• Auto-generated image output. In most cases, when you add an image to a SiteStyle,<br />

crop an image, tile an image, rotate an image, create a transparent GIF, or add<br />

text to a shape or picture, <strong>NetObjects</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> generates a new file, referred to as<br />

an auto-generated image. You can minimize the time it takes for the images to<br />

download by setting the Auto-generated image output. You can create output<br />

settings in Site view or in the Picture Properties panel. See “Optimizing<br />

Images” on page 239.<br />

• Measurement units. Choose the measurement unit you want to use as you build<br />

your site. Choose pixels for the most consistent results independent of monitor<br />

resolution.<br />
