Hidden preferences

There are a few settings in DEVONsphere Express not available through the application Settings. Most of them are intended to facilitate customer support but they might be interesting for you as well.

How to access the hidden preferences

You set and unset the hidden preferences using the defaults command in the Terminal. DEVONsphere Express must not be running or it will overwrite your changes when you close it.
