Etoys Reference Manual Vol. II
Etoys Preferences
Preferences is available in the Object Catalog in Etoys, but not in any category. What follows is a systematic listing and explanation of each item in Preferences, according to the categories that it defines. The category views given here show the default values for preferences as marked in check boxes, and also the default settings (items in bold) for sharing values across projects, using the each project has its own setting option in the preference item menu, described just below. Defaults are also accessible in the defaultValueTableForCurrentRelease class method of the Preferences class.
Each item in preferences has balloon help, quoted here, with additional commentary as necessary. (Some of the balloon help is less than helpful.) Point the cursor at the check box, not the text, to see the balloon help.
Preference Item Menu
Pointing at the text of a preference item and clicking brings up this menu.
each project has its own setting Some preferences may be best applied to all projects uniformly, while others can usefully be set differently in individual projects. Turning this option on for a particular preference will result in its text being shown in bold, and in having independent values for this preference in different projects. Turning it off will result in every project having the same value. [How is that value chosen? Is it the value in this project? Test this.]
browse senders Open a method-list browser on all methods that send the message for this preference.
show category... If you have found a preference in a search, but do not know which category it appears in, this option will tell you.
hand me a button for this preference Create a button bearing the name of this preference option together with a toggle button for setting and clearing its value, just as in the row of the Preferences browser for that option.
copy this name to clipboard Make this name available for pasting.
set automatically on startup... Open a dialog box with three options: enable preference on startup, disable preference on startup, or do not set preference on startup. This last leaves the previous setting in the saved file unchanged each time Etoys is started.
Search Page
The following is the default appearance of Preferences.
However, the user can turn on more buttons on this view, as shown below.
How?
Search Type something in the search box and click Search or press return/enter. The results of the search will appear under search results.
Reset preferences on startup Click to delete saved preferences. The next time Etoys starts, it will use the default preferences values.
Restore all Default Preference Settings Replace current preferences values with default values immediately.
Save Current Settings as my Personal Preferences Write current preferences values to disk as the preferred set. This group of settings is available as the personal theme, and can be edited in the preference themes browser.
Restore my Personal Preferences Read preferred preference values from disk and make them active.
Save Current Settings to Disk Write current preference values to disk as an alternate set.
Restore Settings from Disk Read alternate preference values from disk.
Inspect Parameters View this dictionary browser.
change theme... Choose among predefined collections of settings for the appearance and behavior of Etoys. Options are named cambridge, chicago, outOfTheBox, and personal.
Help! Display a help text, About Preferences, that includes the balloon help text for all preferences items in alphabetical order.

conversionMethodsAtFileOut Governs whether at fileout time you should be prompted to define conversion methods where deemed appropriate.
defaultFileOutFormatMacRoman If set the file out format will default to MacRoman even if the source includes non-ascii characters. Should only be used to allow back porting of code to pre-3.8 versions of Squeak.
