Available for PASSPORT PC TO HOST only.
This menu command displays the File Options dialog box, enabling you to set several PASSPORT preferences that will apply across all sessions. The configuration options are stored in the Windows Registry instead of within session files, meaning that specified options affect all PASSPORT sessions running on your machine.
Session Profile Selection at Startup
When PASSPORT is first started, this setting determines which session profile,
if any, is used when PASSPORT starts. There are three possible settings:
Use Default Session
Profile
When this setting is selected the Passport.zws session file, in the
PASSPORT user session profile folder (default is My Documents\Zephyr\PASSPORT
PC TO HOST), will load when PASSPORT is started. To enable PASSPORT
to immediately connect the session to the specified host upon starting,
you must also enable the Start Session
Profile Automatically option. If the Passport.zws file does
not exist, you will be prompted to configure a new session, as though
the Prompt to Configure a New Session
Profile option had been chosen.
Prompt to Configure
a New Session Profile
When this setting is selected, the Communication>Setup
dialog box will display when PASSPORT is started. This is the same
as the File>New menu command. You must
then specify all new configuration information to make a host connection.
Prompt to Open an
existing Session Profile
When this setting is selected, the Open
dialog box is displayed, after PASSPORT is started. You must then
select a session profile to open.
Start Session Profile Automatically
This setting, when checked, causes a host session to connect automatically
when loaded, as though the Communication>Connect
menu command had been invoked.
Save Session Profile before File>Exit
This setting, when enabled, causes the current session profile to be automatically
saved whenever PASSPORT is closed. If this setting is not enabled and
you have made modifications to your current session profile, PASSPORT
will prompt "Would you like to save any changes made to this session?"
before exiting.
Save Window Size and Position
This option controls whether the window size and position settings are
saved when exiting out of PASSPORT. If enabled, PASSPORT will save the
window size and position for a session as normal. If disabled, PASSPORT
will retain the previously saved window size and position when the session
is opened again. This can be useful in situations where the host application
changes the screen size from that of the logon screen.
To ensure that window size and position settings are retained, save the desired window size and position with the this check box selected, and then clear the check box.
Prompt before Communication>Disconnect or File>Exit
This setting, when enabled, causes PASSPORT to display the prompt "Are
you sure you want to exit this session?" before allowing PASSPORT
to be closed or the prompt "Are you sure you want to disconnect from
this session?" before allowing the PASSPORT session to be disconnected.
If this setting is disabled, you will not be prompted.
Prompt for Printer Settings
This setting, when enabled, causes a printer setup dialog box to display
every time a File>Print menu command is performed.
If this setting is disabled, the File>Print operation is performed
immediately without display of the dialog box.
