WMS:Preferences

Changing the preferences for the WMS interface can be done through the Preferences dialog.

A preferences dialog can be opened to control display and default settings/behaviors in the Project Explorer by right-clicking in the empty space of the Project Explorer.

The preferences dialog can be used to control the following:

• By default WMS will not switch modules when selecting one of the folders, or data objects within a folder from the Project Explorer, but you can change your preferences so that each time a data folder/object is selected WMS automatically switches to that modules as if the module icon had been simultaneously selected
• The time step window used with transient datasets of TINs, grids, and scatter points is not shown at the bottom of the Project Explorer unless such a dataset exists and the TIN, grid, or scatter point set is selected. An option can be toggled on so that it always appears as it did in previous versions.
• The scroll project explorer when changing the module option forces WMS to scroll the Project Explorer such that the data folder corresponding to the active module appears at the top of the window.

• WMS 8.0 and later deals with images differently than past versions. The Image Preferences tab controls these options, including building pyramids and image conversion.
