What it represents:
InCopy.
Application default settings, such as colors, paragraph styles, and object styles.
Application defaults affect all new documents.
The things that happen as a user or script works with the application. Events are
generated by opening, closing, or saving a document or choosing a menu item. Scripts
can be triggered by events.
The menus, submenus, and context menus displayed in the InCopy user interface.
Scripts can be attached to menu choices and can execute menu actions.
The actions the application can take; for example, finding and changing text, copying
the selection, creating new documents, and opening libraries.
Examples are text preferences, PDF export preferences, and document preferences.
Many preferences objects also exist at the document level. Just as in the user interface,
application preferences are applied to new documents; document preferences change
the settings of a specific document.
The properties of the application; for example, the full path to the application, the locale
of the application, and the user name.
A collection of open books.
