This Configuration Settings interface provides a convenience for modifying and previewing parameters in the preference file (.lsppconf).
The .lsppconf file is located in user's AppData directory for Windows and home directory for Linux individually, which stores information regarding the LS-PrePost configuration and is automatically saved every time LS-PrePost exits.
Tip: When updating to a new version of LS-PrePost, you don't have to delete your old .lsppconf file to get the new features because the software will refresh it automatically.
