  Description
  ~~~~~~~~~~~
  SuperViewPrefs is the Preferences Program for superview.library.


    Changing SVObject Preferences
    -----------------------------

    Adding/Removing :

    ... of SVObjects is only possible, if no other program is accessing
    superview.library and the SVObjects at the time (to keep the internal
    lists valid).

    Priorities :

    SuperViewPrefs allows to change the priority of a SVObject, which
    will cause it to appear later in the internal Lists and may decrease
    the time for file-recognition under some circumstances.

    These adjustments are temporarily, until superview.library is
    loaded next time (after rebooting or flushing unaccessed libs).

    Changing the priority will perhaps not cause any multitasking problems
    (one-byte operation, anyway).

    ControlPad :

    Via SuperViewPrefs you can easily change ControlPads (introduced with
    superviewsupport.library V2), because it automatically creates the
    appropriate Names for them (according to the "Style Guides" for
    ControlPads), depending on the SVObjects Names and then calls a
    TextEditor, where you can edit them in a full-screen-like way (at
    first I thought about integrating this totally into SuperViewPrefs,
    but that wouldn't have been flexible enough).

    Your preferred TextEditor can be specified in SuperViewPrefs'
    own ControlPad as "EDITOR=<EditorName and/or Path>".


    Changing SVDriver Preferences
    -----------------------------

    Adding/Removing :

    ... of SVDrivers is only possible, if no other program is accessing
    superview.library and the SVDrivers at the time (to keep the internal
    lists valid).

    Setting/Saving Global SVDriver Preferences :

    Here you may specify, which of the available ScreenDrivers should be
    used a) next time
    or   b) next time and in the future.

    Option a) uses superview.library's SVL_SetGlobalDriver() function to
              temporarily change the settings and
    option b) includes option a) as well as saving the driver's name
              to "ENV:superview-library/Default.svdriver" (and ENVARC:),
              so that this driver is set by superview.library at
              startup-time.

   - completely revised GUI (ListViews, smaller, etc.)
   - GUI is font-sensitive now and appears on Public Screen
