Display deleted files: Normally FotoAlbum hides thumbnails for pictures that have been deleted. If this is checked it will show them (with a red X).
Show only pictures in selected group: This preference controls the overall display logic in FotoAlbum and the FotoTime website. If this is checked then FotoAlbum displays only pictures in the current group (i.e. non-recursive). If this is unchecked (default), then albums are displayed recursively (all pictures are displayed in a group, including sub-groups).
Auto save layout: This option controls whether the layout of menus and toolbars is saved when you exit FotoAlbum. You can restore the default FotoAlbum layout by using the "File->Maintenance Tasks->Restore Default Layout" option.
Show status bar: This controls the display of the status bar (at the bottom of the screen). You can also use the <CTRL><Z> shortcut to toggle the display of the status bar.
Last selected picture: If chosen, the status bar will display information about the last picture that was selected (clicked on).
Picture with mouse over: If this option is chosen, then the status bar will show information in the status bar about the picture the cursor is currently over.
Auto save interval: The number of seconds that FotoAlbum auto-saves your index files (only if you make changes).
Save as XML: If checked, then the Index File "fototime.xml" will be saved as standard XML that is viewable. The default (unchecked) is to save this file in a special binary format which is faster and slightly smaller.
Display Album/Group Descriptions: This option (if checked) will display the currently selected album or group's description above the thumbnails. You can edit the description by clicking on it.
Display splash screen: If this is checked, the splash screen displays on startup.
Warn if running in 256 color mode: Warns you on startup if running with your graphics mode set to 256 colors or less.
Start full-screen: If this is checked, then FotoAlbum will always start full-screen. If unchecked, then it will start in the same size and position when you last exited.
Display with Tooltips (Captions, filename, etc.): These options allow control over what is displayed in the tooltip when you pause the mouse over a thumbnail. Any or all of these may be combined to control exactly what is displayed in the tooltip.
