When starting workspace

Specify whether to display the New or Open dialog box or to run an action when Reflection starts.

Note: When a workspace is opened by double-clicking on a session document file, this setting is not applied. (The workspace opens without displaying a dialog box or running an action.)

To do this

Select this

To do this

Save document settings automatically

Save the modified version of the session document and any related files without any additional prompt. If one of the modified files is a built-in file, a copy of the built-in file is saved in your user data directory.

Ask me to save document settings

Specify where to save the modified version of the session document and any related files at the time you choose to create it.

Discard document settings

Discard any changes to the session document and any related files.

Hide built-in templates for new documents

When selected, only user-defined templates are available from the Create New Document dialog box.

Clear clipboard when closing workspace

When selected, any data that may have been copied to the Clipboard is cleared when the workspace is closed.

Enable event logging

Select to send error information to the Windows logging service.

When displaying help

Specify whether to use the product Help as it appears on the Attachmate Web site or the Help installed on your local computer.

If the Help system you specify is not available, Reflection will use the other one.

Optimize Citrix and WTS sessions

Select to turn off cursor blinking and disable the splash screen when running Reflection under Citrix or WTS.

Note: This setting is ignored if you are not running under Citrix or WTS.

Select the application event with which to associate a sound.

Browse

Click to locate a sound file to associate with application events.

Play

Default user data directory

Type the path for the default directory in which session and other documents are saved, or click Browse to locate it. All Open and Save As dialog boxes default to this directory (including, for example, screen history and scratch pad files).

Note: To reopen the file later, it must be saved in a trusted location.

Note: If you change this setting after configuring sessions, the appearance of those sessions may be unpredictable.

User interface mode

Ribbon is the default UI for Reflection. It provides a user experience similar to the most recent Office applications, including features such as super ToolTips and Ribbon galleries.

When using the Ribbon, you can have more than one document open in the same workspace. Tabs allow you to see which documents are open, and to change between documents.

Classic provides the familiar menu and toolbar interface. When using the Classic UI, only one document can be open in a workspace, and other features may not be available.

Note: All of the Help procedures are written for the Ribbon UI.

Use color scheme

Select the base color for the application and Ribbon background. The color scheme does not affect your host screen, only the frame around it. To change the colors of the host screen, choose a different theme.

Arrange documents as

Documents in the workspace are displayed in tabs by default. If you prefer, you can choose to display them in windows that can be tiled or cascaded.

Tab strip location

Specify whether to display document tabs at the top (default), bottom, left, or right.

Show Close button on each tab

Clear to remove the Close button from the document tabs. Individual document tabs can still be closed using the Close button at the end of the tab strip.

Maximum number of Recent Documents to show

Specify the maximum number of recently used documents to display in the Recent Documents list when the Reflection button is selected.

Clear Recent Documents List

Click to remove all documents from the list.

Select the language you want to use for the Reflection UI.
