Alfred Desktop User Settings

Alfred Desktop allows you to configure the settings listed below. To change the settings, click on “File” and select “Open Settings”.

General

LOCALIZATION

  • Alfred Desktop will use, by default, the language set in Windows. You can set a specific language pack for the Alfred Desktop user interface

  • The Alfred Desktop 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 a message box that will ask you to check-in all working copies when disconnecting from the repository. This is useful when you are working on two computers, and you want to move from one computer to the other

Connection

PROXY SETTINGS

  • Alfred Desktop is enabled to handle proxy configuration. Contact your system administrator for more information

Advanced

The settings in the advanced tab allow you to configure the behavior of the Alfred Desktop window.

Look and Feel

Keep Alfred Desktop on top: keeps the Alfred Desktop window on top of all application windows. This will allow you to drag and drop files from another application directly into the Alfred Desktop window.

Show in taskbar: presents an Alfred Desktop tab in the Windows taskbar, not only in the system tray. A right mouse click on the icon will provide a command menu.

Drag & Drop

Allows you to configure confirmation prompts and the default action that should take place when performing a drag and drop from the Windows desktop, Explorer, or the MS Outlook application.
