Description

Launch at Startup

Select this option to always have the AppWave Browser launch when your computer starts up.

Hide When Minimized

Select this option and when you minimize the AppWave Browser, the icon shows in the notification area but not on the task bar.

Do not check for Browser updates

Select this option if you no not want the Browser to automatically check for the latest updates.

Cache Folder

This is where the streamed apps are stored. The default folder is: c:\Documents and Set­tings\<user>\Embarcadero\Product Repository. You can browse to a new folder and select OK to set it as the default. This can be either a local or a network directory. If you change the cache location you must wait until the objects in the current cache location are copied to the new location.

App Cache Size

The default cache size is 512 MB. The maximum size shown is the size which is accepted by the machine and the amount of free disk space available on the machine.

Click Clear to clear the cache. A dialog appears telling you when the cache is cleared successfully. When you clear the cache you remove all streamed apps from your local repository.

Autogrow

When streaming, if the cache cannot accommodate the size of the full app, the cache can automatically grow to accommodate the new size. The Autogrow default setting is “On”.  If the Autogrow setting is not selected you will be asked, via the Browser, to increase the size of the cache to meet the size requirements.

Turbo Option

This is a performance option allowing the AppWave Browser to run more efficiently. If the user doesn’t have administrator rights at the time of install, the AppWave Browser installs without the Turbo Option.

If the Turbo Option is enabled, when you run AppWave Browser, a file system driver is installed which allows AppWave to communicate with your hardware and operating system at a much lower level.

The AppWave Browser and the AppWave applications you run while Turbo is enabled run faster because of the installation of the file system driver. By default, AppWave Browser runs in this mode if your Windows account has administrative privileges and if you are running AppWave Browser on a 32-bit machine.

When Turbo is not enabled, AppWave Browser does not require Administrative privileges. This is a zero-install mode for locked-down desktops where your operating system user permissions do not allow you to install drivers. Performance is only slightly less than that provided in the Turbo mode.

Mastering is not supported when Turbo mode has been disabled.

My AppWave Name

Displays the name that appears on the Apps tab. The default is the user’s name followed by ‘Apps’. For example, ‘Joe’s Apps’. You can edit this name.

Save

Saves the changes to your Options settings.

Cancel

Discards all changes made to the default settings and closes the Options dialog.
