General Options: Component Libraries Options

The General > Component Libraries options allow you to change how Electronics Desktop handles components. The panel includes the options listed below.

You can elect to Use extractor mode by default for separate dynamic link desktops, or to Run affected property callbacks when variable changes value.

The Component Tree Options panel contains the following controls:

• Show Favorites – specifies that a list of favorites, in the form of an expandable tree, is displayed in the Component Libraries\Components tab.
• Show Most Recently Used – specifies that a list of the components you have most recently used is displayed in the project window.
• Most Recently Used list contains specifies the number of recently used components to display.

The Search Options panel contains the following controls:

• Set – determines whether searches are performed on All components, Current list only, or Append to current list.
• Load Libraries at Initialization – When checked, Twin Builder preloads all system and configured libraries into the Component Libraries search database when the Component Libraries is initialized at Twin Builder startup. Clear this option to reduce the startup time of Twin Builder, in which case the libraries are loaded at first search.

When all information on the Component Libraries Options panel is defined, select another option under General in the Options dialog or click OK to put your settings into effect.
