Settings
General
- Setting File: when exiting the application, the state of the application is stored in a setting file so that when you start the application, you will find it in the same state as when existing it.
You can save and open different setting files to have the application in different states.
If you also start the application in a specific state by passing the start-up parameter -SettingFile:<File location>.ini
- If you use other setting files than the default one, you have the option to show the setting file name in the title bar. This way if you have multiple applications started, it's easier to know which one you are currently seeing.
- Discotheek is skinnable, including many dark themes. Select another skin from the drop down. Note that some of them will require a restart of the application to work properly.
Input Fields
Many input fields in the application will remember the previously entered values. You can access the previously filled in values by right clicking in the input field or use the
Menu key and select the previous value. You can also navigate the previously entered value by using
Ctrl Down and
Ctrl Up when in the input field.
Some input fields allow you to save some values as bookmark. Use
Esc to clear the input fields.
- Clear all history: Clear the history of all input fields
- Max History: Define the max number of items in the history
- Max History: Define the max number of items in the bookmarks
- Input Fields: Select the key of the input field for the History and Bookmarks list below.
If an input field is not visible yet, it's possible that it hasn't been used yet and has empty lists.

Languages
Discotheek has been develop in a way to support multiple languages for the user interface.
This setting shows the different text used by the application. If you wish to translate the application in another language, please contact info@japplis.com with the name of the application and the language you'd like to translate it to.
Connection
Manage how the application connects to internet.
- Proxy: this setting generally doesn't need to be changed but in some company environment you may need to define a specific proxy connection to be able to connect to internet from the application.
- Check for updates: Define the frequency for the application to check if an update is available at start-up time. Note that a check for update is done also when you open the About dialog.
- Decide to send anonymous data in order to know how the application is used and which error occurred. This helps improve the application for future release.
