Whether Resound should Auto-Play Upon Launching a Sound. In other words, whether the Console should automatically play a sound when it's opened by double-clicking on the sound icon, command-dragging it to Resound's app icon, or when an external application opens the sound, but not when opening a sound through Resound's Open panel. This is useful when using Resound in conjunction with programs like OmniWeb to auto-play sounds they launch.
Whether Resound should Open Foreign Files as 16 Bit, 22 KHz upon opening. Foreign files are any files with an .au, .aiff, or .wav suffix.
Whether Resound should Back Up a file before saving a new copy on top of it. Backed-up copies are renamed to the .~snd extension.
Whether new windows should be set to Auto-Scroll to Reflect Playing. For more information, press here:
