You can move settings from ECTR→Options→UI Settings tab to preferences.
In <ectr>\customize\config\default.txt you can change the UI setting for the options tabs:
default.txt
# change from plm.optionGui.tabOrder=Gen;BOM;UI;CLS;PMA;PS;JCO # to plm.optionGui.tabOrder=Gen;BOM;CLS;PMA;PS;JCO
Now you can move the desired settings from the removed UI tab to the preferences.
The preferences window can be controlled by <ectr>\customize\config\options.xml.
Please add for the "UI Settings" a new card, see node card="ECTR_UI" below:
options.xml
<structure> <node card="ECTR" label="SYSTEM.T.OMTITLE"> <node card="Common" label="plm.genoptions.ectr.common"/> <node card="UI" label="plm.genoptions.ectr.ui"> <node card="ECTR_UI" label="plm.gui.0390"/> <node card="Classification" label="plm.genoptions.ectr.ui.classification"/> </node> <node card="Advanced" label="plm.genoptions.ectr.advanced"> <node card="File handling" label="plm.genoptions.ectr.advanced.fileHandling"/> <node card="Metadata" label="Metadata"/> </node> </node> </structure>
The details of the "UI Settings" card can be described in an own section:
