Vitesse Options

Figure 2:4. Vitesse Options Dialog

The Vitesse Options Dialog is available from the Tools / Vitesse / Options menu item. The following settings and options are available:

1. Editor. Here it is possible to set up the editor used when clicking on the "edit" button in the toolbar.

   • "Notepad" is the default editor

   • "File association" will use the editor connected to the .py file extension in Windows.

   • "Custom" will enable entering of your own editor of choice, for example, Pythonwin

2. Logging options. Here it is possible to control when and where the log messages should be presented. See also Vitesse Log Window.

3. Other.

   • "Debug script name" can be used to set up the name of a Python script to be executed when the debug toolbar button is clicked. It is supposed that this script will start a debugger of your choice. See also Vitesse Menu and Toolbar.

   • "Number of recent scripts" controls the number of scripts that will be displayed in the recent list in the toolbar. Please note that you will need to restart the program before this setting will be applied.

     Note: All logging of script executions can affect the performance of the application negatively and give a longer response time. This is especially valid for the "Logging to log file" option, which should only be used when necessary. Note that also Python "print" statements can lower the performance significantly.
