From the Tools menu, choose Options>Application.
The Program tab of the Application Options dialog appears.
Auto save. When this option is selected, your site is saved each time you change views or pages. If you clear the Auto save check box, be sure to save your site periodically by choosing Save Site from the File menu. However, with the Auto save check box cleared, upon exiting the application you will be prompted to choose whether to save the changes to your website or to cancel the closing operation.
Application window maximized at startup. If you clear the check box for this option, the Corel Website Creator X6 window opens in the last size you set, rather than full screen size.
Open to most recently used file at startup. When this option is selected, the last site you worked on opens automatically when you start Corel Website Creator X6. If Open to most recent view is also selected, the site is displayed in the last view you worked in. If this option or Open to most recent view is cleared, you see Online view when you start Corel Website Creator X6. If you switch to another view before opening a site, you see View tips.
Open file to most recent view. If this option is selected, when you open a site, it is displayed in the last view you worked in.
Use small fonts in properties panel. If you clear this check box, you see larger properties panels in Page view. To maximize the area available for your page Layout, leave this option selected.
Compact database upon exit. This option is selected by default. Compacting the files can save you substantial hard disk space. In addition, when this option is selected, Corel Website Creator X6 performs an error-checking procedure to verify your database as it compacts the files. It is recommended that you do not change this setting.
Do not shut down Windows while the file is being compacted. This could cause your .nod file to become unstable.
Edit locked objects. You can override locking permissions on a site by selecting this option. This allows you to edit a site without having to unlock each locked piece individually.
External file editors. You can select default applications for editing .html, .gif, and .jpg files from within Corel Website Creator X6. You launch the default HTML editor by right-clicking the external HTML’s icon in Page view and selecting Open File In External Editor from the shortcut menu. You launch the default image editor by right-clicking the image in Page view or Style view or the image name in Assets view, and selecting Open File In External Editor from the shortcut menu. To choose an external file editor, click Browse and find the file that launches the application.
Auto-generated image output. In most cases, when you add an image to a SiteStyle, crop an image, tile an image, rotate an image, create a transparent .gif, or add text to a shape or picture, Corel Website Creator X6 generates a new file, referred to as an auto-generated image. You can minimize the time it takes for the images to download by setting the Auto-generated image output. You can create output settings in Site view or in the Picture Properties panel.
Measurement units. Choose the measurement unit you want to use as you build your site. Choose pixels for the most consistent results independent of monitor resolution.
