By clicking on the 3rd icon (cogs) to the right of the main screen, you can edit the application's settings.
The compare application is the application you wish to use in the Backup Explorer to compare files. The default application in an open source application called WinMerge. You must install this yourself - see the WinMerge web site for more information. You may customise this to which ever application you choose. You also need to specify where the 2 file names will be written into the command line. This is written in the format of {0} {1} where {0} is where the first file will be inserted (in replace of this place holder) and {1} then second file. The default text shown in the textbox will be something like: C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMerge.exe {0} {1}
When opening or viewing files in the Backup Explorer, you can change the default alternate application. Image files will default to the application specified in the Image Viewer box, while all other files will default to the Text Viewer application specified. For Image viewing I recommend IrfanView and for text viewing I recommend PSPad, Notepad++ or RJ Edit. These applications are freeware.
If the Load UI on Windows startup checkbox is ticked, then AutoVer will load when Windows starts and minimise itself to the system tray, (providing it has a folder to watch). If you are running the AutoVer Service, then the UI does not need to be running at all (it can be run on demand - or on Windows startup).
Auto-Elevate UI without service can be tick if you are not using the AutoVer Service and you are not an Admin user. AutoVer can be made to ask you to elevate it's privileges to Admin on startup (you will be prompted to provide an admin password).
Leave the Enable WMI ticked unless you are having issues with removable drives turning on every 10 seconds. (ie floppy drives with disks inserted - if are unlucky enough to still have one of those). This will detect when drive go offline and come back online again - and thus forcing the backup set to be re-synced. When Enable WMI is not selected then the used paths will be polled every few minutes to check there state.
The View Log will open the internal log file (AutoVer{Service}Log.txt). To increase the logging level to be more verbose tick the Debug Logging checkbox.
If the Delete uses Recycle Bin checkbox is ticked, then all deleted files are sent to the recycle bin rather than permanently deleted. This is disabled by default. This will not work on network or FTP drives. It could also be slightly slower than permanent deletion.
Settings are saved to AutoVer.ini in the hidden folder C:\ProgramData\AutoVer (or for Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AutoVer). You CAN edit these settings directly in this file.
