Appointment Preferences

The appointment preferences determine how appointments are displayed and printed and how to-do lists behave.

The following controls are available:

Default appointment color.  This color well specifies the initial color used for appointments typed directly into schedules.  It also specifys the initial color used for new roles.
Double-click action.  This box determines what will occur when an appointment or to-do item is double clicked.  The first two options will automatically open the Inspector panel and the Roles & Goals and Tasks windows.  If the appointment or to-do item isn't attached to the Roles & Goals hierarchy, no windows will be opened.
The third option, Open File, if selected, will cause the default file in the appointment's file list to be opened when the appointment is double-clicked.  If the appointment has no files associated with it, double-clicking will open the default file associated with the first parent that has any files in its file list.
The fourth option, Edit Item, controls how items are edited.  If it is selected, double-clicking will begin editing of the item.  If it is not selected, single-clicking a selected item will begin editing it, but double-clicking will not.
Print background colors.  This checkbox controls whether or not background colors are drawn when a schedule is printed. If this box is not checked, a white background will be used for all appointment boxes.  This may be useful if your printer dithers the colors in a way that makes the text hard to read.
Auto bump undone to-do items.  This checkbox, if checked, causes undone to-do items to automatically be moved to the current day's to-do list when Chronographer is launched or once a day, half way between your Last Hour and First Hour, if you stay logged in all the time.
Delete completed to-do items.  This checkbox, if checked, causes completed to-do items to automatically be deleted when Chronographer is launched or once a day, if you stay logged in all the time.  Only the to-do items are deleted, not the tasks they belong to.  Also note that completed appointments in schedules are not deleted -- only those in to-do lists.
