The preferences dialog lets you change the settings for the JXCirrus Maths application.
To open the Preferences dialog:
NOTE: This tab is not available on iOS.
JXCirrusMaths can be set to show a different image from a directory when exercises are completed. This feature is covered in more detail in the Setting Images section. To set the image directory, press the Browse button next to the field labeled "Display images in the main window from this directory".
If you would rather the main window just showed a single image
all the time in the background, then press the Browse button next
to the field labeled "Display this single image on the main
window." A file browser window will open that lets you select the
image to display all the time.
NOTE: On MacOSX and iOS, the second option (Pop up a
warning message) shows a message whether the app is running or
not. On Windows and Linux, the app will not show any
warnings unless it is running.
This lets you control how dates and numbers are displayed.
Lets you select which day the week starts on.
Lets you choose how dates are displayed (which order for
day/month/year, as well as separator).
This lets you choose the timezone for this app to be different to
the timezone
of the computer.
Use "Local Time" to use the computer timezone.
Lets you display week day and month day names in the local system
language.
NOTE: This feature is slightly experimental, and hasn't
been tested for all languages. If you find the app
cannot understand dates you type in, then switch this off.
Display all times in 24-hour time.
The currency symbol that appears before currency values.
When numbers are greater than 1000, then split the digits into
groups of 3. For example, if this is ',', then "1010"
will be shown as "1,010". If this is '.', then "1010"
will be shown as "1.010".
What symbol is used as a decimal point.
This button sets the values on this form to match what is set for
your computer.
This lets you choose whether you want to have the system save
your changes automatically, or whether you want to choose when to
save.
This means that the data will be uploaded to iCloud whenever the
file is saved. To preserve data, you can change to
having a button on the tooilbar.
If you happen to be very nervous about losing any data because
you software or your computer crashes (badly) a lot, then you can
get JXCirrus Maths the last few sessions worth of data as backups.
These backup files will be stored in the app temporary files
location, but will have the extension ".bk0", ".bk1", ".bk2" etc.
"bk0" will be the most recent file. Rest assured, JXCirrus
is (so far) very good at not losing your data. If your computer
has the power disconnected most of the way through several days of
typing in everything you have eaten, the system should
remember just about everything you entered - When it starts up
next time, it will restore your partly saved session. Not saying
that things could never go wrong, especially if you have a flaky
computer, in which case, by all means, turn on the backups.
There are two buttons here:
This just shows the full path to the database file that the
system has opened.
Lets you save the finance data file to iCloud - This control is
only available on iOS and OSX. Refer to cloud
for more information.
Lets you select a different data file from you iCloud data
store. You can use this function if you have several
data files that you use, and all of them are saved to iCloud.
Lets you save the maths exercises file to a cloud share - This is
only available on Windows, Mac and Linux. Refer to cloud
for more information.
Lets you select a different data file from your cloud
share. You can use this function if you have several
data files that you synchronise using your cloud share.
