Fields
Automatically check for externally modified files
If there are files that are part of your XML application and they are modified outside Stylus Studio while you are working on the application in Stylus Studio, Stylus Studio prompts you to indicate whether you want to update the file in Stylus Studio.
Disable check on hidden files
Hidden files are files that are in the Stylus Studio project or the
Other Documents folder but not open in Stylus Studio windows. In some situations, it is useful to refresh your open files after hidden files have been updated. In other situations, doing this is unnecessary.
Automatically save modified files every nnn
minutes
You can specify whether and how often you want Stylus Studio to automatically save your open files.
Automatically create backup copy (*.bak) on save
Whether or not you want Stylus Studio to create a backup copy of your documents when they are saved. Files saved to the Stylus Studio file system are saved with a *
.bak extension. Backup file names for files saved to other file systems are managed by the file system. The option to create backup files is on by default.
Automatically add the Base Catalog to new projects
The Stylus Studio Base Catalog, which is bundled with every Stylus Studio installation, is a collection of over one dozen popular catalogs that conform to the OASIS catalog standard. By adding the Base Catalog to a project, any XML file in the project that are associated with files inside the catalog (a schema or DTD, for example) is validated against that catalog file.
