WireframeSketcher inherits some preferences from the Eclipse IDE. These are general purpose preferences that control global aspects of the application behavior.
The General preference page can be found under Preferences > General in Preferences window. Here you can find some general purpose settings that should be mostly ignored. The one that might be of interest is the Open mode which lets you control how Project Explorer view responds to single and double clicks.
The Keys preference page lets you review and customize keyboard shortcuts and is found under Preferences > General > Keys. Note that not all of the commands listed here are specific to WireframeSketcher, and some of them are inherited from the Eclipse IDE. These other commands let you control various parts of the interface. Type WireframeSketcher in the filter text to narrow down the list to editor commands.
To change a shortcut, find and select the desired command in the list first, then press the desired key sequence in the Binding text field.
The Network Connections preference page lets you configure the proxy settings used for network access and is found under Preferences > General > Network Connections. Generally WireframeSketcher is smart enough to detect your system settings and use those. However in some cases, for example if the proxy needs a user and a password, you’ll need to configure them here. WireframeSketcher needs to access the network in several instances:
The Install/Update preference page lets you configure the general aspects of software updates and is found under Preferences > Install/Update. WireframeSketcher inherits a complex update system from the Eclipse IDE, and so it’s not just a simple click and update. The advantages of this system is that you can install extra plugins to extend the available functionality.
The Automatic Updates preferences page lets you configure automatic update checks, their schedule and how you should be notified.
The Available Software Sites preference page lets you configure software sources used to check for updates. WireframeSketcher sources are also configured here. When you install extra plugins their sources will appear here to.
You might notice a disabled WireframeSketcher Dev Version software source here. We don’t recommend enabling it, unless you are asked to by our support team. It’s there to allow you to get some early fixes for bugs that you report to us.
