<h1>ReleaseForge Preferences</h1>
You can use the <b>Preferences</b> dialog to customize the behavior of ReleaseForge.
<h3>General Settings</h3>

<p>
The <b>data path</b> field corresponds to the directory where your ReleaseForge data files will be
stored. ReleaseForge caches certain information regarding your SourceForge and Freshmeat
configurations as well as your login credentials. This directory should be writeable to the user
account that is running ReleaseForge. If you intend to save your passwords for SourceForge and
Freshmeat then it is advised that this directory be inaccessible to all other users. As of
version 0.9.0, this field is read-only. If you wish to select an alternative data directory
then refer to the <a href="config.html">configuration</a> page.
<p>

<font size="-1">Displaying the data path</font>

<p>
You may also specify the font used by ReleaseForge. Press the respective button to launch the font
selection dialog.

<p>
If enabled, the auto login feature instucts ReleaseForge to automatically login to SourceForge and
Freshmeat as necessary. For this feature to be useful, you should instruct ReleaseForge to
save your password from the appropriate login prompts. The default for auto login is <b>disabled</b>.
<p>
Alternatively, you may leave this option disabled and use the <b>--auto</b> command line argument
when launching ReleaseForge to achieve the same behavior. Specifying the <b>--noauto</b> command line
flag instructs ReleaseForge not to attempt to login. The --noauto command line argument takes precedence over both --auto
and the <b>auto login</b> setting.

After you have edited your preferences press <b>Ok</b> to save them. If any problems are
encountered while saving your preferences, an error popup will appear which should describe the
situation. To discard your changes press the <b>Cancel</b> button.
