58There are three "General" options. If "View Extracted Metadata" is checked, the
59various controls dealing with metadata always show all metadata that has been
60extracted automatically from documents. Deselecting it hides this metadata
61(although it is still available during collection design, and within the
62final Greenstone collection).
63<p></p>
64If "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.
65<p></p>
66The third "General" option is a pull-down list of the various languages that
67the Librarian Interface can be presented in. These correspond to the
68dictionaries located in the "classes" folder of the Librarian Interface's
69directory. If you change the dictionary by choosing one from the list, you must
70restart the Librarian Interface in order to load the new language strings from
71the dictionary.
72<p></p>
73The Librarian Interface can support different workflows by determining which of
74the various view tabs are visible. Use the "Workflow" tab to customise what
75views are available by checking the boxes next to the views that you want to be
76available. Alternatively, use the pull-down list at the bottom to select
77predetermined configurations. Closing the preferences dialog establishes these
78workflow settings. These settings are stored with the collection, not in the
79Librarian Interface configuration file.
80<p></p>
81The "Connection" tab lets you alter the path to the locally-running Greenstone
82library server, which is used when Previewing collections. It also lets you set
83proxy information for connecting to the Internet (e.g. when Browsing or
84Mirroring your files; see 3.0 and 4.0 for details). Check the box to enable
85proxy connection and supply details of the proxy host address and port number.
86The proxy connection is established when you close the Preferences dialog.
87<p></p>
88During the course of a session the Librarian Interface may give warning
89messages which inform you of possibly unforeseen consequences of an action. You
90can disable the messages by checking the "Do not show this warning again" box.
91You can re-enable warning messages using the "Warnings" tab. Check the box
92next to warning messages you want to see again.
