The LLBLGen Pro designer is controllable through various preferences. These preferences are editable through the Designer Preferences Editor. To open this editor, click File -> Preferences.
The preferences are divided in two parts: Designer Behavior and New Project Defaults. The Designer Behavior preferences are described below. The New Project Defaults are equal to the Project Settings they're the default for. A new project inherits most of its setting values from the New Project Defaults: all settings in the Project Settings which are also mentioned in the list of settings under New Project Defaults are inheriting their initial value from the New Project Defaults value.
In versions prior to v5.0 the Designer Preferences in the designer contained values which were used in the Project Settings as well, if their equivalent in the Project Settings was set to the value Default. Most of the catalog refresher settings were of this type as well as some model first settings.
These settings all have been converted to regular bool settings in the project settings and no longer rely on the preference value. When a project is loaded which is saved by a previous version of llblgen pro the values in the project are set after the preferences value like they would be in-effect during the previous versions.
