Options

Playback

WAVEOUT DEVICE -- lets you select waveform playback device.

PROCESS PRIORITY CLASS -- sets GAP process priority class.

PLAYBACK BUFFER -- sets playback buffers size.

GAP PRIORITY -- sets GAP main thread priority.

PLAYBACK PRIORITY -- sets GAP playback thread priority.

NOTE: Priority class and thread priorities may be set to higher values, if you have audio playback latencies. But the defaults ("Normal" for all) is recommended. Too high values may negatively affect other applications, while too low values may negatively affect GAP.

DEFAULTS -- sets default values for all options (RECOMMENDED!).

Playlist

PLAYLIST TYPE -- sets the type of playlist: FIXED-SIZE DIALOG (OLD) -- playlist is fixed-size dialog (older variant), RESIZEABLE WINDOW (NEW) -- playlist is resizable window (newer variant).

PLAY NEXT FILE IN PLAYLIST -- if checked, the next file in the playlist is played after current playback finishes. Otherwise playback stops after that.

INTROSCAN -- sets introscan mode and introscan length in seconds.

SHUFFLE -- sets shuffle mode.

REPEAT/ONE/ALL -- sets repeat mode: repeat one file, repeat whole playlist.

LOAD LAST PLAYLIST ON STARTUP -- allows autoloading last playlist during GAP startup.

PLAY LOADED PLAYLIST ON STARTUP -- allows autoplayback of autoloaded last playlist just after GAP startup.

ESTIMATE TIME ONLY BEFORE PLAYBACK -- instructs GAP to estimate audio file length only before playback. Otherwise it tries to do that during playlist loading, adding audio files to playlist and before playback. Setting this option is recommended because estimating length for some audio files when loading playlist may take some time and may be very annoying.

WHEN LOADING PLAYLIST REPLACE [CD] WITH... -- allows replacing of [CD] string in the resource filename with CD drive letter of your choice and sets that CD drive letter.

WHEN SAVING PLAYLIST PUT [CD] FOR CD DRIVE LETTER -- allows replacing of CD drive letter in the resource filename for files situated on CD with [CD] string so that saved APL will be usable on systems with other CD drive letter than that of the system it was saved on.

DRAG & DROP SUPPORT -- sets the support for Drag'n'Drop: NONE -- no support, ASK USER ON DROP -- ask user what to do with dropped files, ADD DROPPED FILES TO PLAYLIST -- when files are dropped over the main or playlist window, they're added to playlist, SCAN DROPPED FILES -- when files are dropped over the main or playlist window, they're scanned for audio files which are then added to playlist, LOAD DROPPED FILES AS PLAYLISTS -- when files are dropped over the main or playlist window, they're loaded as APL playlists.

DEFAULTS -- sets default values for all options (RECOMMENDED!).

Saving

MultiSaving filename -- defines how GAP gets filenames when saving/converting multiple files: ASK USER FOR FILENAME FOR EVERY FILE -- when saving/converting multiple files GAP will ask user for filename for every file being saved. ASK USER FOR FILENAME TEMPLATE -- when saving/converting multiple files GAP will ask user for filename template which will then be used for all files being saved. USE DEFAULT FILENAME TEMPLATE -- when saving/converting multiple files GAP will use the default template for all files being saved.

Default template directory -- defines directory for the default filename template: CURRENT -- the default template directory is current directory. CUSTOM -- the default template directory is that in the edit line below. BROWSE -- lets user browse the default template directory.

Default template file title -- defines file title for the default template: USE AUDIO FILE TITLE -- audio file title is used for the default template file title. USE RESOURCE FILE TITLE -- resource file title is used for the default template file title. CUSTOM -- the default template file title is that in the edit control below.

Extension -- defines extension for the default filename template: DEFAULT -- the default extension for saved file is used for the default template filename extension. CUSTOM -- the default filename template extension is that in the edit control below. You can set it to single point "." to save to files with no extension.

MILTICONVERTING WAV FORMAT -- lets you select default WAV format (compression) for MultiConverting. Listed in this control will be only WAV formats supported in your system.

DEFAULTS -- sets default settings.

Audio File Plug-Ins (AF Plug-Ins)

AUDIO FILE PLUG-IN DIRECTORY -- defines the directory in which GAP will search for audio file plug-ins. When GAP is started for the first time, it sets this to "<GAP directory>\Plugins". If you move GAP to other directory or move plug-ins to the directory other than "Plugins", change this setting!

CONFIGURE -- calls configuration routine of the chosen plug-in.

NOTE: you can also double-click on plug-in description string in the plug-in list to call its configuration routine.

ABOUT -- calls about routine of the chosen plug-in.

ALLOW MULTIPLE PLUG-INS TO WORK WITH ONE FILE -- allows multiple audio plug-ins to try to add files (chosen to add), which may result in many annoying RAW Parameters dialogs from RAW Plug-In, but it may be used if you want some files to be added as being in different formats.

Resource File Plug-Ins (RF Plug-Ins)

RESOURCE FILE PLUG-IN DIRECTORY -- defines the directory in which GAP will search for resource file plug-ins. When GAP is started for the first time, it sets this to "<GAP directory>\Plugins". If you move GAP to other directory or move plug-ins to the directory other than "Plugins", change this setting!

CONFIGURE -- calls configuration routine of the chosen plug-in.

NOTE: you can also double-click on plug-in description string in the plug-in list to call its configuration routine.

ABOUT -- calls about routine of the chosen plug-in.

ALLOW MULTIPLE PLUG-INS TO WORK WITH ONE FILE -- allows multiple resource plug-ins to try to process files (chosen for adding/searching), which may result in several addition checks or searches done by different resource file plug-ins for one file, but it may be used if you want some resource files to be searched as being in PLAIN format (i.e. make plain file search).
