Preferences->Advanced
Auto Preflight Mode Detection - When this is enabled, FlightCheck will look for entries in the File Type List to know when to switch from the Non_PDF to the PDF PreFlight Modes. By default this is already set up for you when FlightCheck is installed. Now when you preflight a Quark or InDesign file and then preflight a PDF file you will notice that the Ground Controls change and also there is no Collect button for PDF files.
The Customize Button - Clicking on the Customize button brings up the File Type List window where the script entries for Auto Preflight Mode Detection are stored.
Reduced Detail - Currently not active
Extended Features - Enabling this shows an extra checkbox on the Results window. This checkbox allows you to select "Show All Items" instead of viewing just the Errors and Warnings. Enabling this Preference will confuse the average user of FlightCheck as the list of items in the Results window will now show for almost every Ground Control available in FlightCheck. Unless you have a need to see all of the intricate details of your document in a text based format, it is suggested that you leave this Preference disabled and use the Overview Window to view details of your document.
Logging - By default this is disabled. If enabled, FlightCheck will create a log file in the same folder as the FlightCheck application resides. This log file contains the name of files that have been preflighted, the time when they were opened, i.e., when they were preflighted and the time when they were closed. This may be useful for tracking how long certain files took to be preflighted and possibly worked on.
Truncate Long Column Strings in Reports - This preference deals with how the report for the Overview Window looks if you perform a Save As from under the File Menu. If this Preference is enabled, long files names will be chopped short or truncated. If this is left unchecked then long filenames will not be truncated when present in the Overview Window Save As Report feature. Instead, long filenames will be shown in full, this will result in a more rough appearing report.
