Each time you open documents through the File | Open... command, and the All Files (*.*) filter is selected in the Open Document window,
Atlantis attempts to detect the real format of the documents being opened.
When this option is on, Atlantis will ask your confirmation after each such autodetection so that you could check whether the detected format is correct.
If you are sure that Atlantis has detected document format incorrectly, you could explicitly specify another document format which should be used for this document.
When this option is on, Atlantis will save RTF documents with much more compact headers.
By turning this option on, you will have more compact RTF documents (size of documents might be decreased by 1-10 kilobytes).
When this option is on, the saving is slightly slower.
This option also decreases the size of RTF documents.
As a rule, RTF documents do not contain characters with codes higher than 127. But most word processors (for example, Microsoft products) support RTF documents that contain such extended characters.
When this option is on, Atlantis saves all extended characters in much more compact format. If your document contains many extended characters (for example, umlauts, characters with cutes etc), you can seriously decrease size of your document by turning this option on.
When this option is off, Atlantis saves all characters in traditional manner.
Also when this option is on, Atlantis saves pictures to RTF files in a very compact format.
Note that older word processors do not support such compact format for pictures. So they will not be able to open such compact documents properly.
The newer versions of popular word processors (for example, MS Word 97 and MS Word 2000) support this compact format.
When this option is on, Atlantis will use the first sentence of your newly created document as a suggested file name when you save this document.
When this option is off, the original file name will be used.
When this option is on, Atlantis memorizes the current cursor position each time you save an RTF or COD document. Next time you open this document, Atlantis moves the cursor to the memorized position.
When this option is off, the cursor always appears at the beginning of the document after you have opened it.
When this option is on, Atlantis will create backup copies for documents that you save.
For example, if you have opened the My Document.rtf file, and saved it, Atlantis will create the My Document.bak file with the previous contents of the My Document.rtf file so you could back to the previous version of your document in case you have made some undesired changes to it.
When this option is on, and you call the Open Document dialog window or the Save Document As... dialog window, Atlantis automatically opens your Document folder for browsing.
When this option is off, the current directory will be open for browsing.
