Appendix 2
Working with preferences
The preferences for both Freeway Pro and Express are split logically between those that
affect the application itself, and those that refer to the individual document.
Preferences, found under the Freeway menu, allow you to set the working environment
within Freeway. The Document Setup dialog, from the File menu, contains options that
you can use to customize the output Freeway generates.
The changes that you make in Document Setup will affect the current document you’re
working in. To make the current settings your new application defaults so that they will affect
any new documents you create, close any open documents, then reopen Document Setup
from the File menu.

Freeway Express (above).
Arrows nudge
FW Pro only
In Freeway, you can move or resize selected items using the arrow keys on the keyboard. The value set for Arrows Nudge is the nudge
distance. Normally, this is set to 1px.
Make backups
When saving an existing document for the first time, Freeway automatically makes a backup version saved in the same location, with a
“.fwbackup” extension to the file name. This ensures that if your document is lost or damaged, you will have a backup version to which
you can revert. If you do not wish this to happen, you can
deselect the Make Backups checkbox. You should be careful to
keep manual backups in this case.
Old Selection Behavior
FW Pro only
This preference allows you to revert to the way that older
versions of Freeway behave when an item is clicked on. In current versions of Freeway, clicking on an item selects it as an item, and you
normally click a second time in order to edit text or pan graphics.
In older versions of Freeway, you had to click on the edge of a text or graphic box (or Command-click on the box) in order to select it,
since a single click or drag would edit the text or pan the graphic. The new behavior makes it easier to select items, but existing users
who are used to the old behavior can choose it via this preference.
Palettes snap
FW Pro only
In Freeway Pro, all palettes can be made to snap together at any edge. Once snapped, the group of palettes can be Command-dragged as
a set. If you prefer palettes not to snap together, uncheck this preference.
Adjust box dimensions when adding padding
FW Pro only
Changes the size of graphic and HTML items to keep the content the same size when adding padding. With this option turned off,
adding padding of say 6px to a box adds 12px to the height and width in the design view.
For more information about padding, see Padding and Margins on page 65.
Important: A backup is only made the first time you save after opening an
existing document and make changes. Freeway does not make incremental
backup copies as you work. If you want to do this, you can either save a
copy manually from the
File menu, or make copies manually in the Finder.
