Fred User Settings
Fred allows you to configure following settings listed below. To change the settings, click on “File” and select “Open Settings”.
General
Localisation
Fred will use by default the language set in Windows. You can set a specific language pack for the Fred user interface.
Fred Working Directory is the folder used to download the working copies in the edit offline action.
The checkbox ‘Clean up Temporary files on disconnect’ activates the removal of temporary copies of downloaded files. As you continue to consult documents, temporary copies remain on your local drive and grow in volume.
The checkbox ‘Ask to Check in working copies on disconnect’ activates the message box which will ask you to check-in all working copies when disconnecting from the repository. This is handy when you are working on two computers and you want to move from one to the other.
Connection
Proxy settings
- Fred is enabled to handle proxy configuration. Contact your administrator for more information.
Advanced

the system tray. Right mouse click on the icon
will provide a command menu.
Drag & Drop
