Saving settings
Write page preview into file	Select to save a 100×100 pixel thumbnail in Windows Bitmap format for each page in an FFD file. Compress page preview – Select to compress the page preview thumbnail files by up to 90% using RLE (run-length encoding).
Create backup before saving	Select to create backup copies (*.bak) of files before saving the new versions.
Compact file when lost space exceeds XX%	Since FFD files are saved by using a compound file technique, large overlay files with many pages may eventually become fragmented. Activating this setting avoids this. Recommended: 35% Ask user before compacting file – Select to make the Overlay Editor ask for permission before compacting files.
Save last recently used directories	Select to make the Overlay Editor remember the directory where you last opened or saved a file. This directory will then be opened the next time you want to open or save a file.
