Setting QuickTools preferences
Using the preferences settings, you can:
• Change the location of the working directory in which to save files.
• Change the location of the browser used to view the online Help.
• Select the Display Dialog When Making Non-secure Connections option. If this option is enabled, the
Non-secure Connections Check dialog box appears when you attempt to open a non-secure fabric and
you have the option of opening the non-secure fabric. If this option is disabled, you cannot open a
fabric that has a non-secure connection.
• Enable (default) or disable the Event Browser. See ” Event Browser ” (page 27) for more information. If
the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog box ( Figure 6 ), the next time QuickTools is
started all events appear. If the Event Browser is disabled when QuickTools is started and enabled later,
only those events from the time the Event Browser was enabled and forward appear.
• Choose the default port view when opening the faceplate display. You can set the faceplate to reflect
the current port type (default), speed, port operational state, or port transceiver media. Regardless of
the default port view you choose, you can change the port view in the faceplate display by opening the
View menu and selecting a different port view option. See the corresponding subsection for more
