This dialog allows you to change settings that determine the behavior of the Condes application.

Auto update

Check for program updates upon launching Condes
When this option is checked, on startup Condes starts the auto-updater program, which checks if a newer version of Condes is available.

Language

Language for symbols
This is the language used for the description symbols.  The titles are used when printing textual control descriptions and as guiding texts when editing control descriptions.

The following languages are available: Bulgarian, Chinese, Danish, English, Australian English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.

The default option is <Windows default>.  When this option is selected, the language, which is set in Windows' control panel, applies.

Language for menus
This is the language used for menus and dialog texts.  The following languages are available:  Bulgarian, Chinese, Danish, English, French, Finnish, German, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.

The default option is <Windows default>.  When this option is selected, the language, which is set in Windows' control panel, applies.

Printers

Remember printer settings
When this option is checked, Condes remembers which printer it is set up to use, and the settings for that particular printer.

PostScript printers

Use PostScript pass-through
When printing on a PostScript printer, and this option is checked, Condes generates the PostScript code for the map file and passes it directly to the printer.

Normally, printing is done with help from a Windows printer driver.  However, such a printer driver requires all colors to be specified as RGB colors.

As PostScript does support CMYK colors, bypassing the Windows printer driver allows Condes to send the map file's native CMYK colors directly as PostScript to the printer.

One drawback is that PostScript does NOT support transparency, so transparent colors will appear as solid colors when printing.  If transparency is important, uncheck this box.

Default World Coordinate System

When the map file for an event is a georeferenced bitmap file or an OCAD 8 file, you need to configure a reference coordinate system that corresponds to the location of the map.

This zone is normally the same for all maps in your local area, so it is convenient to save a default reference coordinate system to be used for new maps.  See also Georeferencing and Real World Coordinates

The coordinate system can be configured either as UTM / WGS84, in which case you need to select the relevant UTM Zone, or as an EPSG code.
