Menu shadows Mark this checkbox if you want menus with shadows. Default: Yes
Always capitalize first letters in Title and Notes fields Mark this checkbox if you want Easy To-Do to always convert the leading letter to a capital letter for title and notes fields. This makes it easier to enter data in these fields. Default: Yes
Custom database folder Mark this checkbox if you want to select another location for the database fields than the default. The size of the database files is typically around 300 KB for a fresh empty database. It will grow as you add tasks. Default: No
Auto backup Mark this checkbox if you want Easy To-Do to automatically backup your database files and INI-file. If enabled, backup is done once for each day that Easy To-Do is started. The backup files are compressed into a ZIP file and copied to the backup folder (see below). Each archive gets the file name "yyyy-mm-dd_ET.zip", where "yyyy-mm-dd" is substituted for the current date.
The backup is done when the application starts, so there may be a short delay before the main window shows.
Default: Yes
Database folder This field displays the path to the folder where the database is stored. Use the ellipsis button to select a new folder.
Backup folder This field displays the path to the folder where the backup files are created, if the "Auto backup" option is activated (see above). Use the ellipsis button to select a new folder.
