In the "Preferences" dialog, you can fine-tune WarpIN's behavior in some situations.

For one you can determine what happens if a file that is being unpacked from an archive already exists on your hard disk.

For maximum flexibility, WarpIN allows you to specify its behavior for each of the following three situations:

For each of these three situations, you may specify whether WarpIN should always skip the file, always overwrite the file, or ask you for what to do with the file.

In addition, you can specify the installation log file name. Per default, WarpIN writes a log of what happens during install and de-install to the install.log file, which gets created or appended to in the WarpIN directory. You can change the location and/or file name in this dialog.

All of these settings can also be directed by environment variables. If environment variables are defined, the settings in this dialog will be overridden, but those overrides will not be saved with the preferences.

See the WarpIN User's Guide for a description of environment variables.
