Preferences->General


Under the General Preferences Area there are six items to setup:


Show Startup Messages - When enabled this will alert you of updates for FlightCheck or other news from Markzware.


Show Results - Enabled by default, this will bring up the Results Window every time a document is preflighted. Some people only wish to see the Overview window, some people want to see both the Results and Overview windows. The Results window is a text based summary of the issues detected in your document. The Overview window contains text as well as icons and hover info.


Play Alert Sound - When enabled, the  famous (or infamous) Markzware eagle will squawk when a job has finished preflighting and Errors have been detected in the job. This preference also enables the “zing” sound if a job preflight's without any errors. If these sounds annoy you then deselect the Play Alert Sound checkbox. Many people like the sound on as they can work on other tasks across the room and be notified by the squawk or zing when a job has finished preflighting.


Report Embedded Objects - When this Preference is enabled, FlightCheck will report on embedded objects in the Overview, Results and Collect windows. If this Preference is disabled, FlightCheck will not report embedded objects (i.e., Fonts and Images ) as used. FlightCheck does not currently collect embedded objects.


Use Custom Icon For Collected Jobs - When this Preference is enabled, FlightCheck will add an icon to the Collected Job Folder. If this preference is disabled or unchecked, FlightCheck will not add any icons to Collected Job Folders. By default this preference is enabled.


Number of Recent Items: The number you put in this box reflects the number if items that will show up under the File->Open Recent menu. It is advisable to not put large numbers in here, usually 5-10 items is a long enough list for most people to manage.
