General > Editors • Size of recently opened files list—For each file that is opened in an editor, it is
stored in a list of recently used files. This option controls the number of files that
display in this list at the bottom of the File menu. The default value is 4.
• Show multiple editor tabs—Allows more than one editor tab to display in your
workspace. If active, you can specify the number of editors to open before they are
recycled.
• Restore editor state on startup—Restores the original settings for the editor.
• Prompt to save on close even if still open elsewhere—Save the editor when
you close the application, even if an editor is open elsewhere.
• Close editors automatically—Specifies whether or not to recycle editors in the
Active System Manager software. If active, you can specify the number of editors
to open before they are recycled. The default value is 16. For example, if you have
16 resources and you open a 17
th
resource, the first resource is closed. If it has
unsaved changes, you are prompted to save your changes.
• Number of opened editors before closing—For each file that is opened in an
editor, it is stored in a list of recently used files before closing the editor. The
default value is 10.
• When all editors are dirty or pinned—You can also specify if a prompt dialog
box should be opened or if a new editor should be opened when all the current
editors are have unsaved information. Once it is turned on, the Pin Editor action is
added to the toolbar and editor tab menu. Pinned editors are not recycled. To pin
an editor so that it is not automatically closed, right-click the editor’s tab and select
Pin Editor.
