Application Icon   Hidden preferences

There are a few settings in DEVONsphere Express not available through the application Settings. Most of them are intended to facilitate customer support but they might be interesting for you as well.

How to access the hidden preferences

You set and unset the hidden preferences using the defaults command in the Terminal. DEVONsphere Express must not be running or it will overwrite your changes when you close it.

To set a preference using the Terminal, noting the commands are case-senstive, they are written like this:

Terminal:

$ defaults write com.devon-technologies.sphereexpress DontSetFindPboard -bool TRUE

The above command activates the preference with the key DontSetFindPboard. Change TRUE to FALSE to deactivate it.

Available hidden preferences keys

Currently, DEVONsphere Express supports only one hidden preference:

  • Icon
    DontSetFindPboard: When set to TRUE, search terms are not put on the system's shared find clipboard and are so not automatically used in other apps, e.g., EasyFind.

Note: These hidden preferences could be changed or removed with any update.
