By default, user-specific files of Atlantis (document templates, backup files, spellcheck lexicons, etc) are stored under the "My documents\Atlantis" folder. But you can choose a different location for these files by clicking the "Browse..." button next to the "User files location" edit box. You would have a choice to copy current user files to a new location, move them to a new location, or ignore them altogether and use any files available at the new location.
When this option is on, Atlantis reopens all the documents that were open in the previous session of Atlantis at the moment when you closed the previous session.
When this option is on, Atlantis will open clicked hyperlinks to supported documents (RTF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, etc) and pictures itself, ignoring the current file associations of the operating system.
When this option is off, clicked hyperlinks to documents of any type will be opened by the application associated with a particular file type. For example, a hyperlink to a PNG file will be opened by MS Paint, or by another application associated with the PNG file extension.
When you paste from a Web browser to Atlantis, the clipboard data might contain not the actual images but their Web addresses (URLs). Check this option if you want Atlantis to download actual graphic files from the Web when required.
When this option is off, when opening plain text files, Atlantis does not display the "File conversion" dialog for you to confirm the encoding of the text file if Atlantis auodetects the UTF-8 encoding of the file.
When this option is on, the "File conversion" dialog is displayed for every plain text file you open, so that you can confirm the file encoding.
When this option is on, Atlantis suggests the first sentence of your new document as a filename when you save it for the first time.
When this option is off, the current filename is suggested ("Doc01.rtf" or similar).
When this option is on, Atlantis displays the "File | Properties..." dialog when you save a document for the first time. In that dialog, you can enter document properties such as "title", "subject", "author", "keywords", and "comments".
When this option is on, and you save a formatted document (RTF, DOC, DOCX, or COD), the current cursor position is also saved to the document file. Next time you open that document, Atlantis automatically restores the cursor position from the document file so that you can continue working where you left off.
When this option is off, the cursor position is not saved to document files. When you open any document, the cursor gets always placed at the beginning of the document.
When this option is on, Atlantis generates more compact RTF documents. Note that some older word processors might be unable to open such compact documents properly.
Enabling this option reduces the size of graphic data in RTF documents by 50%. Note that only few word processors support binary graphic data in RTF documents.
When this option is on, you can double-click a Document Bar button of a modifed document to save changes to its file.
Click this button to specify how Atlantis should save plain text documents through the "File | Save As..." command. You can instruct Atlantis to display the "File Conversion" dialog every time a plain text document is "saved as...". In that dialog, you can choose the desired encoding (UTF-8, a Windows code page, etc) for your text file. Alternatively, Atlantis can automatically save plain text files in the encoding of your choice every time you use the "Save As..." command.
Atlantis can automatically create safe copies of all open documents in their current state. In the event of a fatal crash or accidental shutdown of your computer, Atlantis will be able to restore your documents from these safe copies.
When this option is on, Atlantis creates safe copies for all open documents at the specified time interval.
Click this button to configure the Backup Files tool of Atlantis.
Click the Save to File... button to save all the current Atlantis settings to an external INI file. To load the saved settings from such an INI file, click the Load from File... button.
