When the Run MG Pro on Windows startup check box is selected, Magnifying
Glass Pro will start automatically each time Windows is launched.
When the Show Glass after application start check box is selected, the Glass
will automatically be displayed when MG Pro is started (manually or at Windows
launch). Otherwise, you can select Show Glass from the MG Pro pop-up menu or
use your HotKey (see below).
The MG Pro interface can be displayed in
one of two languages, English or Russian. The default is English. To change the
language, select an option from the Application
Language drop-down list.
TIP: The application language resources are stored as
.ini files (English.ini and Russian.ini) in the Language subdirectory in the
parent MG Pro folder on your hard drive. To translate the MG Pro interface from
either English or Russian into your preferred language, make a copy of the
existing .ini file, rename it appropriately (e.g., Spanish.ini), open the file
in any text editor, translate the appropriate text to your preferred language,
then save the file. The next time you start MG Pro, the new file will appear as an option in
the Application Language drop-down list, as described earlier. Your translation
may benefit other users too. Please consider sending your translated .ini file
to the MG Pro development team for inclusion in the next release.
HotKey to show / hide Glass. You can set up a custom keyboard shortcut to display
or hide the Glass. The HotKey works as a toggle. Press it once to display the
Glass, press it another time to hide the Glass. The default is Shift+Ctrl+W. To
customize the HotKey, click in or tab to the HotKey field to activate it, then press the key combination you want to use. It can be 1
to 3 key commands in succession. MG Pro will automatically add the “+”
character to separate the keys. The HotKey will work anywhere on your system
except while in the MG Pro options window.
WARNING: Be sure not to specify a HotKey that is already in
use by Windows or another application, or you may experience a conflict in
operation.
