- Click OK.
The Preferences dialog box makes the following options available for Proofer Finder, Proofer Viewer, Controller Viewer, and Proofer Administrator.
General tab
| Language | Kodak Proofing Software 6 is available in English only. Identifies which language to use for the options, menus, and error messages in the Kodak Proofing Software. If you change the language, you must restart the software for the change to take effect. Change the language of the Help by changing the language setting in the browser that you are using to view the Help. When Kodak Proofing Software runs on Microsoft Windows XP, you must install the East Asian language files from the original Windows operating system installation disc to successfully use East Asian language support in Kodak Proofing Software. Note: Some components of the software may not be translated yet and will appear only in English. |
| Length Units | Identifies which units of measurement to use for the proofer software. Note: This setting does not affect the High Resolution Sheet Viewer. The High Resolution Sheet Viewer includes its own Preferences dialog box in which you can select a unit of measurement. |
High Resolution Sheet Viewer tab
Location | Identifies the storage location of the temporary files that are used by the High Resolution Sheet Viewer. |
Change | Changes the folder in which the temporary files are stored for the High Resolution Sheet Viewer. The system copies any files in the old folder location to the new folder location. Click the Change button to select a different folder. |
| Currently Using <number> MB | Identifies how much disk space the temporary files are currently using. |
Delete | Deletes all temporary files from the storage folder, except files currently in use by the High Resolution Sheet Viewer. The system ignores the time that is specified in the Hours to keep files on disk option. |
Hours to keep files on disk | Identifies the number of hours to store the files that are used by the High Resolution Sheet Viewer. When the amount of disk space used to store files that are used by High Resolution Sheet Viewer is greater than the value in Maximum Disk Space Used (MB), or when the amount of free disk space becomes less than the value in Ensure Minimum Free Disk Space (MB), the system automatically deletes files that have been stored for the required number of hours. Type a value from 1 to 100 hours. |
Maximum Disk Space Used (MB) | Identifies the maximum amount of disk space used to store images for the High Resolution Sheet Viewer. Type a value from 200 MB to 100 GB. |
Ensure Minimum Free Disk Space (MB) | Ensures the system keeps the identified amount of disk space free of temporary files and available for other tasks. Type a value from 10 MB to 10 GB. |
Apply | Apply the automatic file deletion settings. In other words, save the settings. |
Revert | Return to the last applied automatic file deletion settings. |
