<p />
These parameters affect purely how the user interface works.
<p />
<h4><a name="INDEX_FILES_GO_HERE"> </a> INDEX FILES GO HERE </h4>
<p />
      Back in the days when 4 MB/sec was unearthly speed for a hard drive, index files were introduced to speed up drawing the audio tracks. This option determines where index files are placed on the hard drive.
<h4><a name="SIZE_OF_INDEX_FILE"> </a> SIZE OF INDEX FILE </h4>
<p />
      Determines the size of an index file. Larger index sizes allow smaller files to be drawn faster while slowing down the drawing of large files. Smaller index sizes allow large files to be drawn faster while slowing down small files.
<h4><a name="NUMBER_OF_INDEX_FILES_TO_KEEP"> </a> NUMBER OF INDEX FILES TO KEEP </h4>
<p />
      To keep the index directory from becoming unruly, old index files are deleted. This determines the maximum number of index files to keep in the directory.
<h4><a name="DELETE_ALL_INDEXES"> </a> DELETE ALL INDEXES </h4>
<p />
      When you change the index size or you want to clean out excessive index files, this deletes all the index files.
<h4><a name="USE_HOURS_MINUTES_SECONDS_XXX"> </a> USE HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS.XXX </h4>
<p />
      Various representations of time are given. Select the most convenient one. The time representation can also be changed by CTRL clicking on the time ruler.
<h4><a name="USE_THUMBNAILS"> </a> USE THUMBNAILS </h4>
<p />
      The Resource Window displays thumbnails of assets by default. This can take a long time to set up. This option disables the thumbnails.
<h4><a name="CLICKING_IN_OUT_POINTS_DOES_WHAT"> </a> CLICKING IN/OUT POINTS DOES WHAT </h4>
<p />
      Cinelerra not only allows you to perform editing by dragging in/out points but also defines three seperate operations which occur when you drag an in/out point. For each mouse button you select the behavior in this window. The usage of each editing mode is described in editing.
<h4><a name="MIN_DB_FOR_METER"> </a> MIN DB FOR METER </h4>
<p />
      Some sound sources have a lower noise threshold than others. Everything below the noise threshold is meaningless. This option sets the meters to clip below a certain level. Consumer soundcards usually bottom out at -65. Professional soundcards bottom out at -90.
<h4><a name="FORMAT_FOR_METER_FIXME_not_avail"> </a> FORMAT FOR METER (FIXME: not available anymore in 1.2 -- by minmax) </h4>
<p />
      This option allows you to select the format for all the VU meters. If you're a CS major select percentage and if you're a EE major select DB. With that, be aware all levels in Cinelerra are input as DB.
<h4><a name="THEME"> </a> THEME </h4>
<p />
Cinelerra supports variable themes. Select one here and restart Cinelerra to see it.
