63There are three "General" options. If "View Extracted Metadata" is checked, the
64various controls dealing with metadata always show all metadata that has been
65extracted automatically from documents. Deselecting it hides this metadata
66(although it is still available during collection design, and within the
67final Greenstone collection).
68<p></p>
69If "Show File Size" is checked, the file size is shown next to each file in the Workspace and Collection file trees in the Gather and Enrich views.
70<p></p>
71The third "General" option is a pull-down list of the various languages that
72the Librarian Interface can be presented in. These correspond to the
73dictionaries located in the "classes" folder of the Librarian Interface's
74directory. If you change the dictionary by choosing one from the list, you must
75restart the Librarian Interface in order to load the new language strings from
76the dictionary.
77<p></p>
78The "Mode" panel is used to control the level of detail within the interface. At its lowest setting, "Library Assistant", the design view is disabled, arguments requiring regular expressions are hidden and the collection building produces a minimal log of events. In contrast the highest setting, "Expert", provides access to all of the features of design, including plugin positioning and regular expression arguments, and also allows the full output from the collection building to be recorded in the logs. To change or review modes, click the radio button next to the mode you are interested in. You can quickly review what mode you are in by looking at the Librarian Interface's title bar.
79<p></p>
80The Librarian Interface can support different workflows by determining which of
81the various view tabs are visible. Use the "Workflow" tab to customise what
82views are available by checking the boxes next to the views that you want to be
83available. Alternatively, use the pull-down list at the bottom to select
84predetermined configurations. Closing the preferences dialog establishes these
85workflow settings. These settings are stored with the collection, not in the
86Librarian Interface configuration file.
87<p></p>
88The "Connection" tab lets you alter the path to the locally-running Greenstone
89library server, which is used when Previewing collections.
90<p></p>
91During the course of a session the Librarian Interface may give warning
92messages which inform you of possibly unforeseen consequences of an action. You
93can disable the messages by checking the "Do not show this warning again" box.
94You can re-enable warning messages using the "Warnings" tab. Check the box
95next to warning messages you want to see again.
