The configuration dialog can be accessed from the menu. It consists of several tabs which each contain several configurable values detailed in DKP Log Parser - Configuration.

Controls

Some numerical values use spinners for their values, they only accept non-negative integers.

Some options only accept numerical values, but do not use a spinner because they have to be able to accept negative values. The hour offset value is one of those. Just enter the numerical value into the textfield with a leader "-" if the value is negative. For example the following will give the hour offset a value of minus two hours.

-2

Some values require arrays or series of inputs, for instance the default weights. Those series have to be entered into the texfield as ", " delimited values. For example if one wants to enter the values foo, bar and cookie into an option then one should write the following.

foo, bar, cookie

Buttons

There are five buttons in the dialog.

• Save - Saves the changes made to the main configuration and closes the dialog.
• Save as - Saves the changes made to the main configuration and a snapshot of the main configuration to a file.
• Load - Resets the main cofniguration's state to one described by a snapshot and closes the dialog.
• Reset - Resets the main configuration to the default values and closes the dialog.
• Cancel - Closes the dialog without saving the changes.

It is important to note that only one configuration is actually used by the program, and that is the main configuration. All snapshots and such are just snapshots, they save the state of the main configuration to allow it to later be restored to that state.
