Advanced Settings
Settings → Advanced Settings.
These configure the app itself rather than the game you are running.
Interface
Section titled “Interface”Bottom Bar
Section titled “Bottom Bar”Shows the bottom bar on the game screen. On by default. Not available on Mac.
Status Bar
Section titled “Status Bar”Shows the system status bar — clock, battery, indicators — on the game screen. On by default. Not available on Mac.
Turning both off gives the map the whole display, which is worth doing when you present from a tablet.
Open Library Action
Section titled “Open Library Action”What opening the library does. Not shown on iPhone, which has no second window.
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Modal View (default) | Open the library over the current screen. |
| New Window | Open the library in a separate window. |
New Window suits a large display or a Mac, where the library and the map can sit side by side.
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”The app’s light or dark appearance.
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Dark (default) | Always dark. |
| Light | Always light. |
| System | Follow the system setting. |
The default is dark rather than system: the app is normally used at a table in low light.
Maintenance
Section titled “Maintenance”Both actions run behind a progress overlay and report when they finish. Neither touches your content.
Clear Cache & Temporary Files
Section titled “Clear Cache & Temporary Files”Clears the image caches, cached page HTML and the temporary directories.
Use it if the app is taking up more storage than it should, or if a page renders with stale content. Everything cleared here is rebuilt on demand.
Remove Unused Image Files
Section titled “Remove Unused Image Files”Deletes image files that nothing references any more.
Images can be left behind when content is deleted or re-imported. This reclaims that space, and only removes files no entity points at.
Local Database
Section titled “Local Database”Your content lives in a local database. These settings cover backing it up.
Backup
Section titled “Backup”Writes a compacted backup of the database now.
Last Backup
Section titled “Last Backup”The date of the most recent backup, or Not Found if there has never been one. Read-only.
Automatic Backups
Section titled “Automatic Backups”Keeps backups on a schedule. On by default.
Leave this on. If the database has gone more than a month without a backup, opening Settings offers to take one — that prompt is why it appears on the main Settings screen rather than here.
