Library location, how long traces are kept, moving your library, and resetting.
Housekeeping for your library and Activity history. Most people never need to change anything here.
What's here #
Library shows the library folder, with Show in Finder.
Traces sets Keep traces for (1 to 365 days) and Keep at most (runs). Older runs leave Activity, and whichever limit hits first applies. Failed runs are kept at least 90 days.
Palette hold sets the Hold time: how long the palette hotkey is held before it acts on the selection. A shorter press opens the palette. It is greyed out unless that behavior is on.
Move your library has Export Library…, which writes one .switchboard file, and Import… for Keyboard Maestro, BetterTouchTool or a Switchboard file.
Reset has Show Welcome Again, and Reset Settings…, which returns every setting to its default. Macros and groups are not touched.
About shows the version and update details.
Tricks #
Raise the trace limits if you want older runs to look back through in Activity.
Export before a big change; the file is a copy you can import later.
