User Preferences

The user preferences, in LSM/RDF format as of version 6, are by default placed within the user's home folder such as: C:\windows\QuillPad User Info\preferences.rdf or C:\windows\profiles\{username}\QuillPad User Info\preferences.rdf on MS Windows 9x;
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\{username}\QuillPad User Info\preferences.rdf on MS Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003;
%SystemDrive%\Users\{username}\QuillPad User Info\preferences.rdf on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and later;
~/QuillPad User Info/preferences.rdf on Unix platforms such as Linux, Solaris, AIX, IRIX;
Users:{username}:Library:QuillPad:preferences.rdf on Mac OS X.
If you require the preferences to be handled locally (to the program: within the QuillPad folder) then launch QuillPad using the -local command line switch.
(For the Mac OS X Edition you will need to go to the QuillPad folder in Terminal and procede through 'QuillPad.app/Contents/Resources/Java' to get to the core QuillPad.jar. From here you can use QuillPad's command line features as usual.)
This will allow QuillPad to be used on Pen Drives, Memory Cards, etc.
If you are upgrading from version 5.1 or earlier then after upgrading QuillPad itself from its installer; just launch QuillPad 6.0 or higher (with or without -local switch) for the first time and it will apply your current settings and then upgrade and migrate your settings file to the new format and appropriete new place automatically.

Tools

There are some QuillPad Plugin Tools available featuring Markup Entity insertions and code snippets & templates.
You can choose what the tools folder is going to be called and where you want to put it. Go to Preferences->General and click Choose Tools Folder. In that dialog, go to any folder and select a subfolder or type a new folder name and click open. Then click OK to save the changes. If it was a new folder, then QuillPad will create the folder for you. You can then move the plugins to there and they won't be affected by any reinstalling or uninstalling of the main program.
Most people seem to prefer to put the plugins folder in their user folder on Mac OS X, Unixes, Linux and with Windows Vista; and in My Documents in earlier Windows.
Go to QuillPad plugin tools page for more information.

If certain langages appear as blocks within QuillPad you may need to install additional language files for your operating system to handle these languages properly. Consult your operating system help or documentation for this task.
If the languages don't appear correctly on this page or any other page on this website then try changing the character encoding to UTF-8 (Generation 4 and higher web browsers support UTF-8) otherwise you may need to install extra languages to your operating system.
