Preferences

The EclipseNSIS InstallOptions Preference pages can be accessed by opening the Window→Preferences→ menu item and navigating to the EclipseNSIS→InstallOptions item in the Preferences dialog.

Preferences may be set for the Design Editor and the Source Editor.

Design Editor

These preferences are used to customize the settings of the design editor.
These settings are applied the first time an InstallOptions script is opened using the design editor.

These settings are can be used to control whether design editor drawing tools are shown or hidden by default. The drawing tools currently supported for show/hide are:

• Rulers
• Grid
• Guides
• Dialog size outline

← Back

Dialog Sizes

This is used to customize the InstallOptions dialog sizes. By default, the EclipseNSIS InstallOptions Editor comes configured with the sizes of the dialogs for standard and MUI installers. It is recommended that the dialog sizes for these defaults not be modified unless they have been changed in the associated UI executables using a resource editing tool, e.g., Resource Hacker.
However, this preferences area allows creation and editing of new dialog sizes to support any additional custom UI executables which may be used for NSIS installer creation.
The checked entry is the default and will be applied to an InstallOptions script the first time it is opened using the design editor. ← Back

Snap & Glue

These settings configure the types of snap and glue operations which are enabled by default. ← Back

Grid

Specify the spacing, origin and style of the design editor grid. ← Back

On startup, check InstallOptions editor INI file association

On plugin startup check if INI files are associated by default with an InstallOptions editor. If they are not, the user is prompted whether to create the association. If the "EclipseNSIS Startup" plugin is activated for startup in the Startup and Shutdown preferences page, then the check is performed upon workbench startup, otherwise it is performed the first time an InstallOptions editor is opened. ← Back

Automatically save InstallOptions script before preview

If this option is selected, modified InstallOptions scripts are automatically saved before being previewed. Otherwise the user is prompted before saving. ← Back
