Auto-size table columns to optimal width
When this option is enabled, the table columns in all data tables will individually be sized to minimal width. When this option is disabled, all table columns in a table initially have equal width.

Start application with maximized window
When this option is enabled, SDMetrics' main window will be fully maximized on startup. Deselect this option to launch SDMetrics in a smaller window.

Enable File Drag and Drop
File drag and drop is a convenient way to select an XMI or other project file (see Section 4.2.1 "Specifying Project Files") for analysis: simply drag the file from an external file system browser/explorer and drop it into SDMetrics' main window.

File drag and drop may not work on all combinations of operating system platforms and Java virtual machines. If file drag and drop causes problems on your system, you can disable this feature here. Note: You need to restart SDMetrics for changes to this setting to become effective.

Help Launch Configuration

The help launch configuration specifies the web browser to open the user manual with, and the location of the user manual.

• By default, SDMetrics tries to open the user manual with the web browser that the operating system associates with HTML files. If you wish to open the user manual in a different browser, select 'Use custom browser' and enter the name of the executable of the browser (complete with path information if the browser does not reside in the system path).
• SDMetrics expects the user manual to reside in the folder 'manual' of the installation directory. If for some reason you wish to open the user manual from a different location, select 'Use custom location' and specify an alternative directory that contains the SDMetrics user manual.
