Settings and Updates

Choose File > Settings. Startup sources and filters are described in Startup sources.

Language and appearance

The General settings let you choose a language and display mode. Light and dark modes control the application's appearance; a system-based choice follows Windows. A changed language can require an application restart; follow the message in the dialog and finish active work first.

When this tool runs as part of an O&O product, it can offer an option to follow that product's language and appearance.

Application updates

The Updates page controls automatic update checks and shows the last check and its result. Use Check now to check manually. A newer version is announced in the main window's status bar; choosing it asks before downloading and applying an update.

The normal automatic check runs at most once per day when the application starts. An available update is not downloaded merely because a background check found it. The update process validates the downloaded application and restarts the tool to replace it.

Finish active work before updating. If the package cannot replace itself, the update action opens the download page instead. Checks are suppressed in a Windows recovery environment.

An application update changes the tool itself. It is separate from the Windows or file-system operations described in the feature chapters.
