Selection Behavior

Delay before updating item access date:  If the provided value (in milliseconds) is not 0, Ultra Recall will automatically update the Access Date Item Attribute after this amount of time when you select an Info Item. 

Default Value: 4000 milliseconds (4 seconds)

 

Item load delay when scrolling via keyboard:   When navigating the Data Explorer Pane or Related Items Pane with the keyword (using the navigation buttons), Ultra Recall will wait for the specified milliseconds before updating the Dependent Panes for the new selection.  If the value is 0, no delay will occur.  This feature is provided to make the application more responsive because you aren't reading this data while quickly navigating.

Default Value: 300 milliseconds

 

Set focus to active selection pane when going to an item: If checked, focus will shift to the active Selection Pane when going to an Info Item.  Otherwise the focus will remain in the original Pane.

 
Set focus to Item Details pane when going to an item: If checked, focus will shift to the Item Details Pane when going to an Info Item.

 

Set focus to form when inserting an item: If checked, focus will shift to the first form field when insert an Info Item based on a template with a form.  If unchecked, focus will remain in the tree and the title will be edited.

 

Favorites

Hoist tree when going to a favorite: If checked, when opening a favorite, the favorite item will be hoisted in the tree.

 

Launch favorite external with Ctrl down: If checked, when opening a favorite (by clicking the Favorites toolbar or menu item or typing its shortcut key) with the Ctrl key held down, the URL of the favorite item will be launched externally instead of navigating to the favorite within Ultra Recall.  This can be useful for using favorites to launch external applications and files.  If this option is unchecked, holding the Ctrl key down when opening a favorite will open the item in a new tab.

 

 

Item command-line format: Determines the command-line syntax used when copying the selected item's shortcut to the clipboard via the Item | Copy Item Command-Line menu item or keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+I).  The available variables are:

%UR%: Expands to the Ultra Recall executable filename.

%URX%: Expands to the full path+filename of the Ultra Recall executable (including quotes if necessary).

%DB%: Expands to the full path+filename of the current Ultra Recall Info Database (including quotes if necessary).

%DB_URL%: Expands to the URL form of the current database path+filename.

%ITEM%: Expands to the item ID Attribute of the selected Ultra Recall Info Item.

%ITEM_PATH%: Expands to the full lineage of item ID Attributes (item ID of item, its parent, grandparent, etc.) for the selected Ultra Recall Info Item.

Insert date/time as: Determines the format used for the date and/or time when inserting via the Edit | Insert Date+Time and Item | Rename To | Date+Time menu items or keyboard shortcuts.
