Preferences
The OM interface and programming components are ruled by a series of default parameters that can be modified via the
Preferences pane during an OM session. These parameters are associated to and saved with the workspace that was open at this session.
Preferences Pane
To open the Preferences pane, select OM 6.X.X / Preferences . A series of tabs giving access to a set of preferences is shown on the left.
The General tab shows a handle error messages option. This option allows, to some extent, to limit the consequences of possible programming errors and prevent OM from crashing. If an error occurs, a message is displayed in a pop up window.
