Settings

Settings is a window over the app with eight sections on the left: Assistant, Connection, Sync, Canvas, Appearance & Motion, Shortcuts, Privacy and About. "Changes take effect when you press “Save settings”."

<!-- picture: the Settings window on the Assistant section -->

#How to open it

• The gear at the right end of the toolbar.
• File ▸ Settings… or Ctrl+,.
• Assistant ▸ Assistant settings… opens it on Assistant; Sync ▸ Sync settings… on Sync.
• Buttons in messages, such as Open connection settings, open it on the right section.

#How saving works

1. Change what you need, in one section or in several. Nothing applies yet: the window holds a draft.
2. Press Save settings at the bottom. The line at the bottom left says "Settings saved."
3. Cancel, Escape or a click outside closes the window. If you changed something, the app asks: "Close without saving? The changes made in Settings since the last save will be lost." Close without saving or Keep editing.

Some things apply at once, without Save:

• the language (the window switches at once; Save remembers it);
• automatic sync and its interval in the sync popover;
• a key or token you paste: it is checked and used at once;
• Forget all keys and tokens and Clear chat history.

#The line at the bottom

"Settings loaded.", "Default settings, not saved yet.", "Settings are not saved yet.", "Nothing to save: nothing has changed yet.", "Fix the highlighted fields first." (a field is marked red, for example "The ComfyUI address is not an address yet. Fix it in Connection; the field is marked."), "Settings could not be saved.", "Stored settings could not be read; default settings are shown."

#Rules for every field

• A field cannot hold a key or a password: "Settings cannot hold a key or a password. Remove it from the field." Keys go into their own key fields, which keep them outside the settings file.
• The window can be made larger by its bottom right corner.
