MailWatch [ Preferences ]

Preferences

MailWatchPrefs allows you to use a GUI to configure the response of the program to changes in file status....

Listview On the left there is a listview, the separate items of which define the files to be 'watched' by MailWatch. Only the name of the file is shown in the listview; the file's full name, with path, is shown in the string gadget beneath the list.
The gadgets underneath the listview perform the standard actions;

ADD adds an entry
DUP duplicates (i.e. copies) the selected entry
DEL deletes the selected entry, and
CLR clears the list completely.

The file gadget and the string gadget are, of course, used to edit the name of the file or files that should be 'watched'.

On the right-hand side of the window you can define the various attributes for each file that is to be watched by MailWatch. None, Old and New are all discussed in Icons, the various Limits are explained here and the Misc. section is explained here.
Remember, everything defined in these gadgets applies only to the currently selected file, as defined in the listview on the left-hand side of the MailWatchPrefs window.

You can use these gadgets to exit the preferences program.

Save saves the preferences to 'ENVARC:MailWatch/MailWatch.prefs' and 'ENV:MailWatch/MailWatch.prefs',
Use only saves the preferences to 'ENV:MailWatch/MailWatch.prefs', and
Cancel quits the program without saving anything, in the same manner as the close-gadget in the upper-left corner of the window.

Menu MailWatchPrefs only has one menu, and the options accesible from it are those that you would expect:

Save saves the preferences to 'ENVARC:MailWatch/MailWatch.prefs' and 'ENV:MailWatch/MailWatch.prefs'.
Save as... gives you a file requester, allowing you to choose what file the current preferences should be saved to.
Load opens a file requester with which you can load preferences from a particular file.
About brings up a tiny 'About' requester.
Quit... well... see if you can work that one out for yourself.
