Settings¶
The interactive tools in erlab.interactive provide several options to customize
their behavior and appearance, mainly controlled in the Settings window. It can be
opened from the menu bar:
macOS:
in the application menu next to
Windows/Linux:
Changes are saved immediately. The bottom of the window reports the save status, and Revert Changes restores all user and workspace changes made since the Settings window was opened. Closing the window does not discard changes that have already been saved.
Use the sidebar to switch between setting groups:
Visualization controls default colormap, gamma, cursor colors, and related display defaults.
I/O controls the default loader and the default folder used by manager file dialogs and new Data Explorer windows.
ktool controls defaults for newly opened momentum-conversion tools.
Figure Composer controls default Matplotlib stylesheets, figure DPI, and export settings.
Security controls which workspace locations can run stored executable content without review.
Rows in the User scope include a reset action that restores the application default for that setting. Broadly resetting all user settings still asks for confirmation.
When Settings is opened from ImageTool Manager, a Workspace scope is also
available. Workspace settings are local overrides saved inside the manager’s .itws
workspace file. Turn on the checkbox to store a value.
Security¶
The Security page is available in the User scope.
Trusted workspace folders¶
Every .itws file in a trusted folder and its subfolders can run stored executable
content without per-file review. Use Add Folder… to add a folder and
Remove to remove the selected folder.
Use a dedicated analysis folder that only you or trusted collaborators can modify. Do not add a downloads folder, temporary folder, or shared folder that untrusted users or programs can modify.
Saved workspace approvals¶
Reset Saved Trust… removes approvals that ERLab stored for previously saved workspaces. It does not remove entries from Trusted workspace folders.
See Stored code for the workspace status values and Reviewing stored workspace code for per-workspace review.
