|
35 |
|
36 B<as-gui.conf> - as-gui configuration file |
|
37 |
|
38 =head1 DESCRIPTION |
|
39 |
|
40 The B<as-gui> accounting system graphical client allows for easy yet flexible |
|
41 accounting of time and tasks. It caters to a variety of user interface tastes |
|
42 by offering a variety of parameterized options. |
|
43 |
|
44 Many such options influence direct rendering of the graphical representation |
|
45 of all data and the controls which operate on the data. However, other options |
|
46 control communication with the B<AS> server, local report formatting, or |
|
47 backup storage. |
|
48 |
|
49 Features such as macro processing, rulesets, account aliases, and session |
|
50 tuning will be stored as well (when these future preferences are finally |
|
51 implemented). |
|
52 |
|
53 Because of the many possibilities offered, there exists a system to manage the |
|
54 preferences involved. The system depends on the preferences file F<~/.as-gui>, |
|
55 reading data from it when starting and running B<as-gui>, and storing data to |
|
56 it when finally terminating. |
|
57 |
|
58 The file F<~/.as-gui> is stored in XML format, and is parsed internally by |
|
59 B<as-gui>. There is no need to edit this file, although there is also no harm |
|
60 in doing so. Please remember that all parameters may change during runtime, so |
|
61 it is wisest to edit after quitting the B<as-gui> application. |
|
62 |
|
63 Attenzione! During runtime, all parameters are user-defined and are accessible |
|
64 by selecting the 'Preferences...' subitem under the 'Edit' menu. |
