contains information about the different backends.
- Theme: the theme to use with Curator. Dependent on installed Java Swing Look-and-Feels.
- Default Library: the library to automatically open when curator is open. If this is set to
'Do not automatially open any libraries', the library select dialog will open instead.
- Default Upload Action: controls what acction to take after uploading is complere. Options are:
"Always ask", "Never open library", "Always open library". "Always ask" will cause a popup to ask what
option to take after uploading is complete. "Never open library" will simply return you to the library
select window. "Always open library" will open the remote library in your web browser. A URL MUST
be set in the remote library settings for this option to have any effect.
- Ask Before Exiting: if enabled, Curator will ask before exiting or returning to the library
select screen.
Password Store Backends
- Java Preferences: the Java Preferences API. Works on almost all systems, however, is unencrypted.
his is probably fine unless extra security is required for the FTP server.
- Pass: Pass is a password manager for Unix-like systems. It relies on the GnuPG software for
encryption and decryption of passwords. It is only available is Pass is installed and configured
on your system.
