\item[Index files go here] index files exist in order to speed up drawing the audio/video tracks. This option determines where index files are placed on the disk.

-\paragraph{Theme} \CGG{} supports 11 different themes to suit the preferences of different users (figure~\ref{fig:theme}). When you change the theme, \CGG{} automatically saves your session and restarts exactly where you were. The \textit{Themes User Interface} are described in more detail next. \textit{Akirad} themes are all available in Cin-GG with major thanks to the \textit{Cinecutie} project for all of their hard work. These modifications provide alternative User Interface environments and allows you to choose your favorite look. Be aware that when you change your theme, \CGG{} will automatically shutdown and restart for it to take effect. The theme you choose is preserved across sessions.

\item[Autocolor assets] to make it visually easier to see your clips on the timeline that are from the same media file, you can have them automatically colored. Use of this feature requires additional memory and cpu on every timeline redraw, therefore smaller computers may not want this checked on.
\item[ffmpeg probe warns rebuild indexes] this warning is very important for switching from using ffmpeg to using native formats, such as in the case of MPEG, so that you are reminded to \textit{rebuild indexes}. If you do not rebuild the indexes, seeking on the timeline back and forth could very well be problematic, meaning it might not go to the right place. Notification about rebuilding the indexes will appear by default as shown in the figure~\ref{fig:ff_probe} when you click on the FF icon in the main timeline in the upper right hand corner. Once you click on \textit{Don’t show this warning again} you will no longer be warned and this flag will no longer be enabled.

\item[Set Input Focus when window entered] this is checked on by default because on some operating system distros, when you move your mouse to a different window, nothing happens and you are left wondering why you can not enter information. When checked this causes the input focus to shift to any \CGG{} window when the cursor enters an exposed region of the window which eliminates the need to switch input focus by tabbing.
\item[Click to activate text focus] Click to activate text focus
\item [Click to deactivate text focus] if checked, you will have to click to deactivate text focus.
+ \item [Auto rotate ffmpeg media] this is the default setting so that your media will automatically be rotated when there is metadata in the file with a rotation value. Especially useful for cell phone.
\item[Always show next frame] in this mode the insertion pointer reflects the same as the Compositor so that for playing forward, the result is what looks like 1 was added to the frame displayed in the Compositor window. This is fully explained in another section (\hyperref[sub:playing_seeking]{Playing is Different than Seeking/Positioning!}).
\item[Use thumbnails in resource window] the Resource Window displays thumbnails of assets by default, but drawing asset thumbnails can take more time and CPU so you may want to uncheck this.
\item[Perpetual session] is very useful for working on a project over many days so you can just quit before
