5.b Configuration


Click on the "Config." button to change the general settings of SetEdit. There are three tab sheets in the configuration menu.


General settings:

If you click on "General settings" you get the following menu:



The value Frequ. Tol. (Frequency tolerance) is used when importing and indicates the tolerance a transponder frequency may have relative to the imported one to be considered to be the same. If you have for example a transponder with the frequency 11721 MHz in you settings and you import a channel with the frequency 11720 MHz and the frequency tolerance is set to 5 MHz no new transponder is created. This tolerance is also used for the transponder list.

With Column width you can select if 100% (auto) or 90-30% of all channels have to fit completely to a column. All other channel names are truncated. With "manual" you can enter the column width by hand. Please select the function "Setup column width" from the menu of the channel lists and then you can click on the position where you want to have the right border of the first column.

Note: There is a minimum width for the columns. If the window is too small to show more than one column the column width has no effect.

In the field Cut names you can enter, if channel names that are too long (see column width), are cut at the end or in the middle.

In the field PIDs you select how the PIDs are shown/entered (decimal or hexadecimal). You can also switch between these two viewing modes, if you click on the "H" for hexadecimal or the "D" for decimal in the frame of the "Information" section.

With Language you can select the menu language you would like. This language is taken for all opened SetEdit windows.

With Always on top SetEditSamsungJ always stays on top of your desktop.

With Names: short you will get the short names of the channels in the channel list (see chapter 3.e).

With Start with last used file SetEditSamsungJ opens automatically the last used file every time you start the program.

With When loading use personal sat settings you can, after you have once saved your satellite configuration (see chapter 3.j), use this configuration automatically when loading settings. For example you can use your satellite settings always when you load settings from other sources.

If Restore last session when starting is activated, all editor windows that were opened when you closed the last session are reopened (see chapter 5.a.)

If you activate Show channel count in lists the number of channels of each satellite, transponder, provider and each favourite list is shown behind the name of these lists.


Colours:

If you click on the tab sheet "Colours", you will get the following menu:



Here you can change the colours that are used to mark the following states:

Activated (programmed) satellites



Horizontal polarised transponders, vertical polarised transponders



TV channels and radio channels



TV or radio channels that are in a favourite list



Transponder, satellite, provider and FAV list(s) of an actually selected channel (Active Tr/Sat/Pr/FAV)



Channel duplicates



Empty transponders and providers



New or not existing channels (for the import function, see chapter 3.i)



The icons for e.g. "locked", "skipped", "scrambled", "HD" or for the different transponder types.



With a double click on the frame of a colour field, you get the default colour again.




Convert:

On the tab sheet "Convert" you can choose which options should be used, if you convert another settings file into the SetEditSamsungJ format.

Sort channel list by satellites: The channels of the source list will be sorted by satellites, when you convert into the Samsung J-Series format.

Convert labels to FAV lists: The first five labels of the source list will be converted to FAV lists.

Convert providers to FAV lists: The first five providers of the source list will be converted to FAV lists.

Convert FAV lists to satellites: All FAV lists of the source list will be converted to satellites. All satellites that have the geographic position 0.0° east/west and that are empty are converted to a FAV satellite (the satellite configuration that you have saved before should of course contain such empty satellites).
Note: If you want to use this function it is important that each FAV list of the source list only contains channels of one satellite.
To make a satellite empty there is the function "clear" in the satellite menu (see chapter 5.e.)

This option may be useful for example if the source list has more FAV lists as you can have in your SetEditSamsungJ settings and you want to keep all of them.

Take FAV list(s) from source list: The first five FAV lists are taken from the source list (the Samsung J-Series receivers only have five FAV lists).

If you want to convert a SetEditSamsungJ settings file into another format, you have to choose these options in the configuration menu of this other format. Depending on the receiver there can be up to 10 different options.
