Configuration Settings

Purpose:

This interface provides a convenience for modifying and previewing parameters in the perference file(.lspostrc).

The .lspostrc is located in user's AppDate directory for Windows and home directory for Linux individually, which stores information regarding the LS-PrePost configuration and is automatically saved every time lspp exits.

Tip: When updating to a new version of LS-PrePost, you don't have to delete your old .lspostrc file to get the new features because we will automatically refresh it.
