Remember window defaults: Scheduler has default window sizes, positions, and arrangements built into it, however each time you close a window, it remembers where that window was as "where you like your windows," so to speak. If the remember window defaults button is unchecked, it will just use its built in defaults each time instead of retaining your window position as the new default.
Deliver events from: Scheduler can deliver events from the sets that it has remembered, and it can also deliver events from event sets that are open in a window, even if the open event set hasn't been remembered to deliver events. Which sets actually deliver events is controlled by these settings:
-Open sets only: The remembered sets are ignored for event delivery. Events are only delivered when Scheduler has open sets, and the events are delivered from any open set.
-Open sets and remembered sets: Events are delivered from the remembered sets as usual, and also from any open set windows, even if the open set windows have not been remembered for event delivery.
-Remembered sets only: Events are delivered from the remembered sets.
-Remembered sets unless open: Events are delivered from the remembered event sets, but not from remembered sets that have a window open.
-Do not deliver events: Don't deliver any events from any event sets, regardless of whether they have been remembered or have a window open.
Open remembered sets: When you run Scheduler for the first time, it provides you with a new untitled event set to work with. However, once it has remembered one or more event sets to deliver events from, you can have it start with those sets each time. The possible preferences are:
- Always open remembered sets: Even if you open a particular event set file, Scheduler will still open the remembered event sets in their own windows.
- If no other sets are opened: If you open a particular set, it is likely that you just want to edit that set and aren't interested in seeing the remembered sets. This option reflects that behavior, which in most cases is what the user would expect and want.
- Don't open remembered sets: You must open the remembered sets explicitly to open them in a window. If you run Scheduler by double clicking its icon and not an event set file, it will simply start with a new untitled event set.
Note that even if a remembered event set is not opened in a window, Scheduler still remembers it and will deliver events from it, depending on the deliver events from user preference, as described above.
Remembered sets list: This list displays all the
sets which have been remembered for delivery of events. Sets can be
removed from this list by selecting them, then clicking the forget
selected button. When you quit Scheduler to background, or when you
start up the BeOS, Scheduler will wait for events to occur, and
deliver them even if it isn't running. When it isn't running, it
will normally deliver events from this list of event sets. This
behavior can be changed though, by using the "Deliver events from"
setting.
