The Preferences Dialog

The Preferences dialog contains settings, which are applied by default every time you run the application. Changing them, you can control the program behavior.

To open the Preferences dialog, choose the Disc Cover > Preferences menu item or press “Cmd-,”.


Open Assistant on Start-Up - here you can specify what to do when the program is launched - open the Assistant (containing document templates) or create a blank document.

Snap - enables or disables the Snap mode - when an object, that you are moving, aligns to other objects.
You can also temporarily disable the Snap mode if you move an object holding the Cmd key.

Show foreground objects when editing background - use this option to show or hide objects on the foreground layer when you are working with objects on the background layer.

By default, the program accesses the iTunes track list by opening the “iTunes Music Library” data file.
This is the fastest way of getting the list. If you encounter problems with importing from iTunes, select the Use AppleScript to import from iTunes check box option. It allows you to eliminate the problem with a wrong track order.

Measurement Units define units for all size and location controls in the program.
