# The Preferences Window

The Preferences Window allows you to configure how SimCap behaves.

## Application Behaviour

### Warn when closing unsaved movies

If this option is ticked, a warning dialogue will be displayed whenever you try to close a movie review window without first saving the movie.

### Warn when closing unsaved screenshots

If this option is ticked, a warning dialogue will be displayed whenever you try to close a screenshot review window without first saving at least one of the screenshot displayed.

## Automatic Updates

### Check for updated automatically

If this option is ticked, SimCap will check automatically for updated versions of itself. You can choose how frequently this check is performed from the "Frequency" pop-up.

You can manually check for updates at any time by selecting "Check for Updates..." from under the application menu.

### Download available updates automatically

If this option is ticked, updates will be downloaded and installed automatically. If it is not, you will be informed when an update is available and then given the option to download and install the update.

### Send anonymous profiling information

If this option is ticked, once a week, when SimCap checks for updates, it will also send us a small amount of information about your Mac. This includes its type, speification and the version of OS X you are running. Collecting this information helps us to decide where to focus our resources. Absolutely no personal information about yourself is collected.

## Soundflower

### Prefered Device

This option allows you to choose which of the two Soundflower devices SimCap will record system audio from.

### Warn if switching to Soundflower while Simulator is running

Controls whether the reminder to restart the Simulator is displayed when Soundflower is enabled. Due to recent changes to how the Simulator handles audio routing, it must be restarted once Soundflower is enabled in order for its output to be captured.
