Specifies the general settings for LibreOfficeDev.

To access this command...

Choose LibreOfficeDev - PreferencesTools - Options - LibreOfficeDev - General.

## Help

Specifies the behaviour of the installed help.

### Extended tips

Displays a help text when you rest the cursor on an icon, a menu command, or a control on a dialogue.

### Warn if local help is not installed

If the offline help is not installed but you are connected to the internet, a dialog will appear offering the option to Read Help Online. Click OK to open your default web browser to the LibreOfficeDev online help pages.

The dialog also includes a link to the built-in help page, which provides instructions for installing the built-in Help.

### Show "Tip of the Day" on startup

Displays a small window with a random tip for using LibreOfficeDev. This window appears when you open your first document of the day.

## Dialogs

### Use LibreOfficeDev open/save dialogs

Select this option to use the Open and Save dialogs supplied with LibreOfficeDev. Deselect to use the standard Open and Save dialogs of the computer operating system.

### Use LibreOfficeDev color dialog

Select this option to use the Color Picker dialog supplied with LibreOfficeDev. Deselect to use the standard Color Picker dialog of the computer operating system.

## Document status

### Printing sets "document modified" status

Specifies whether the printing of the document counts as a modification. When this option is marked, the very next time the document is closed you are asked if the changes should be saved. The print date is then entered in the document properties as a change.

## Year (two digits)

Defines a date range, within which the system recognises a two-digit year.

In LibreOfficeDev, years are indicated by four digits, so that the difference between 1/1/99 and 1/1/01 is two years. This Year (two digits) setting allows the user to define the years in which two-digit dates are added to 2000. To illustrate, if you specify a date of 1930 or later, the entry "1/1/20" is recognized as 2020-01-01 instead of 1920-01-01.

## Help Improve LibreOfficeDev

### Prompt for sending crash reports to The Document Foundation

Asks you whether to send a crash report to help developers improve the software’s reliability. Whenever LibreOfficeDev crashes, you can opt to send a report containing anonymous debugging information, to help track down and eventually fix the root cause.

## LibreOfficeDev Quickstarter

### Load LibreOfficeDev during system start-up

If enabled, loads LibreOfficeDev into memory when the computer is booted, or when LibreOfficeDev is restarted. When loaded, it reduces the time for opening LibreOfficeDev. An icon is also added to the system tray. Right-click on the icon to show a menu for opening new or existing documents, and for stopping the quickstarter.

## LibreOfficeDev File Associations

### Windows Default Apps

Call Windows file associations management. This button behaves according to Microsoft file association management policy, which is to open "Default apps" on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1; and to show a message telling user how to open that applet manually in Windows 10.
