Preferences

V1.0 note: Some options listed here are for future program features, so may have no effect in V1.0

The montage.factory preferences are accessed via the Preferences ... option on the View menu or the  montage.factory Application Menu on OS X, or the button on the Toolbar.

Selecting this option opens a Tabbed dialog with the following tabs which group related parameters:

To view and modify a set of parameters, click on the relevant tab.

Note: The options to update Objects following an Object move within the same file (e.g. Update Performances after Wave Move) also apply when Objects that can be referenced are inserted, deleted and sorted.

Note: The options to copy referenced Objects with "parent" Objects (e.g. moving Performances with Live Sets) work by:

All the above options are sensitive to what is being dragged. For example a Live Set Bank Page Slot, Live Set Bank Page, Live Set Bank, Live Set Banks Branch can be dragged and the necessary Objects will be copied

Finally, it's worth noting that if the options are all set then everything needed is copied. For example if you drag a Live Set to a new file, then potentially, Performances used in the Live Set Slots, Wave used by the Performances, etc are all copied. This is a feature I've long been desperate for!
