Preferences Table
The main portion of the Preferences tab is dedicated to the preferences table itself. In the table, every user-configurable
preference for the server is listed. Preferences are organized in the list by category and importance.
The left-hand column of the table displays a reset button for each preference when the preference is set to a value other
than its default. If a reset button is present, hovering the cursor over it will reveal information text in yellow at the bottom
of the table. This text will show the default value of the preference and its current value - both abbreviated as necessary.
Clicking on the button provides a menu with the option to reset the preference to its default value.
Some preferences (e.g. Audio Input and Output) may show their values using yellow text as a warning. This is an
indication that the selected device is not connected to the computer.
When comparing the preferences of the local Mbox server to a networked server, the networked server's preferences
will be shown in a separate column on the right-hand side of the Preferences tab. Between the columns for the local
and networked servers is a darker column. This column will display buttons labeled "←apply" and "apply→" that allow
dissimilar preference values to be copied from local to networked server or vice-versa.
CAUTION!
There is no undo/redo functionality available on the Preferences tab.
There are several different types of preference values:
+
Checkbox - used for standard boolean (on/off or yes/no) preferences.
+
Text Field - used to enter string values, e.g. names, floating point numbers.
+
Pop-Up - used to enter values from a preset list of possible options.
+
Complex - used for setting more complex, multi-value preferences. These preferences will have a disclosure arrow
that allows the multiple values to be viewed and edited. Many of these preferences require a button to be pressed to
apply the edits.
CAUTION!
A few preferences have a double diamond (◊◊) next to their name, indicating that the Mbox application must
be quit and relaunched for that preference to take effect.
