Descriptions of the options

Option Description
Show the profile name in the title bar This option enables you to show the name of the open profile in the title bar of WinContig.

The following options are available:

  • Disabled: WinContig does not show the name of the open profile in the title bar.
  • Only file name: WinContig shows only the name of the open profile in the title bar.
  • Full file path: WinContig shows name and path of the open profile in the title bar.
Display first the profile name in the title bar If this option is selected, the profile name appears on the title bar before the application name (for example, MyProfile - WinContig). If this option is not selected, the profile name appears on the title bar after the application name (for example, Wincontig - MyProfile).
Prompt to save changes made to the profile before closing the profile If this option is selected, WinContig will prompt you to save the changes made to the open profile when you attempt to close the profile. If this option is not selected, and you made changes to the profile (for example, you added or deleted items), any unsaved changes will be discarded.
Prompt to save changes made to the profile before exiting the application If this option is selected, WinContig will prompt you to save the changes made to the open profile when you close the application. If this option is not selected, and you made changes to the profile (for example, you added or deleted items), any unsaved changes will be discarded.
Show a warning message when opening a profile containing missing items If this option is selected, and you are attempting to open a profile containing one or more items that it is not possible to import (for example, because the items have been deleted), WinContig will display a warning dialog. If this option is not selected, WinContig will open the profile skipping the missing items without displaying a warning dialog.
Open the following profile at startup If this option is selected, WinContig will automatically open a profile when started. Click on the Browse button to locate the profile you want to open.

Automatically remove missing entries If this option is selected, WinContig will automatically remove from the recent list the profiles that don't exist anymore in the system.
