- Use the default format in reading
-
Turn on if you want to use the default format specified in this dialog
forcedly when spwave cannot detect the format automatically.
- File Format
- File format. For more information, see Format section.
- Bits/Sample
- Bits per sample of the input file.
When the selected file format is u-law or a-law, this value is ignored.
spwave converts bits/sample into 16 bits/sample internally when the file
has a bits/sample lower than 16 bits.
Select 64, if the file includes floating point numbers.
- Sampling Frequency
- Sampling frequency of the input file.
- Number of Channels
- Number of channels of the input file.
- Look
- Select the look of the waveform area.
- Font for main canvas
- Specify a font of the main canvas.
- Window Size
- Specify the size of the waveform area.
The format is `Width' x `Height'.
- Print Size
- Specify the size of printing.
The format is `Width' x `Height'.
- Information area width
- Specifia the width of the information area.
- Swap Alt key and Ctrl key of shortcuts
- Turn on if you want to swap the alt key and the ctrl key of shortcuts.
This setting takes effect after restarting.
- Scroll left by wheel down

- Use the play command forcedly
-
Turn on if you want to use the play command forcedly.
The play command is not valid on some enviroments such as Linux, Windows, etc. unless this item is checked.
- Play command

- %W
-
WAVE file name.
The file is regarded as 16 bit linear WAVE format.
- %H
-
Sampling frequency in Hz.
- %K
-
Sampling frequency in kHz.
- %C
-
Number of channels.
The stereo file cannot be played without this character.
Example:
play_sound -f %H %F
In this example, the play command is "play_sound" which recognizes
a sampling frequency in Hz through -f option and can play a 16 bit
linear raw file.
- Audio driver
- Select the audio driver.
When nothing is selected, the default audio driver will be used.
- Audio buffer size
- Specify the audio buffer size.

If the non-lowlevel thread processing makes spwave unstable, uncheck this item.
- Display the information area as default
- Turn on if you want to display the information area as default in opening a new window.
- Display the information area for frequency data
- Turn on if you want to display the information area for frequency data.
- Link a selected label to a selection
- Turn on if you want to link a selected label to a selection.
- Always ask before erasing a label
- Turn on if you want to display a dialog before erasing a label.
If you don't want to display the dialog, turn off this item.
Please be careful because undo function doesn't take effect for erasing labels.
- Load the default label file in the file directory
- Load the default label in the directory that the file to be opened is included.
The label file name must be same as the sound file in the name body, and be
replaced with default label file extension
in the extension.
- Default label file suffix
- Default suffix of the label file which is used in
loading the default label file in the file directory.
- Autosave directory
-
Directory to save the extracted file.
This setting is useful when the input data is in the directory that cannot
be written into, e.g. CD-ROM directory.
- Autosave ID type
-
This ID is the naming strategy of output files.
Default value is ``2-Digit Serial Number'' such as 01, 02, 03, ....
The 3-digit and 4-digit serial numbers are also available.
``Edge Points'' setting adds ID ``1234-5678'' to the file name when the
selection starts from 1234 and ends at 5678.
- Prefix of autosave ID
-
Select prefix of autosave ID.
For example, when the original file name is foo.wav and ID type is ``2-Digit
Serial Number'', foo01.wav, foo02.wav, ... will be generated by no prefix
setting, foo_01.wav, foo_02.wav, ... will be generated by prefix `_'.
- Label file suffix
-
Suffix of the log file.
The default value is `_cut.txt'. In this case, `foo_cut.txt' is used
for the original file `foo.wav'.
- Write the full path into a label file
