You can specify various settings and preferences for runs of native-compiled,.NET managed, applications or programs.
Settings: Settings control how Purify instruments and runs programs. For example, you can specify the location of the cache directory for runs of native-compiled applications, or select specific classes to instrument for runs of .NET managed applications. During installation, Purify sets defaults for various settings.
Purify provides two types of settings:
§ Default settings that apply to any program you run. You change default settings using the Default Settings dialog box. Purify saves settings for all programs in the Purifyw_pure.ini file.
§ Executable settings that apply only to a specific program. You change executable settings using the Settings for exename dialog box. Purify saves settings for the current program in the Exename_pure.ini file.
Purify uses the default settings, unless you overwrite them with executable settings. You can view the settings that were in effect for a particular run using the Properties dialog box.
Preferences: Preferences control how Purify presents its windows, views, and data. During installation, Purify sets defaults for various preferences.
You can change preferences using the Preferences dialog box. Purify saves preferences in the Purify.ini file. Preferences apply to all programs run in the current session and all future sessions, until you change the preference. You can view the preferences that were in effect for a particular run using the Properties dialog box.
