-The user's default settings, preferences, and other helpful files are retained across sessions in a hidden file, called .bcast5, in the user’s \texttt{\$HOME} directory. Initially when \CGG{} is launched there is an empty project and there are program default settings, and from then on the \texttt{.bcast5} directory will contain the settings that were set when quitting. If you need to revert to the default settings, delete the \texttt{.bcast5} directory contents and restart \CGG{}. Or you may want to rename it temporarily if you think you might want it back later.
-Although the location defaults to \texttt{\$HOME/.bcast5}, you can use the \texttt{CIN\_CONFIG} variable to override this location. For example: \texttt{export CIN\_CONFIG=/tmp/.bcast5} will use a temporary setup for testing purposes. It is also useful for multiple users sharing the same home directory who would like to have different configuration/preferences settings data. And if you are experiencing inexplicable errors or crashes in \CGG{}, they may be due to a problem with \texttt{.bcast5} in which case taking it out of the picture can at least eliminate this as the cause.

Another use case is if we want multiple installations of \CGG{}, for example one stable and one experimental, we can create the \texttt{.bcastX} folder externally and then set it as default with the option \textit{Index files go here} in \nameref{sub:index_file_section}.
Several ways exist to change \CGG{}’s operational characteristics. A lot of variations can be made to settings and preferences by using the \textit{Settings} pulldown from the main window and choosing \textit{Preferences}.

\item[Reload plugin index] \index{plugins!reload index} execute this reload command when you have modified plugins and want to make sure your changes take effect.
\item[Nested Proxy Path] \index{nested proxy path} designates the default directory path for Nested Proxy files.
\item[Default LV2\_Path] \index{default lv2 path} when there is no system \texttt{LV2\_PATH} set, if you want lv2 plugins loaded, you must set the correct directory path name here. When you change this field, cin will automatically restart and load the newly specified lv2 plugins.
Screencast below shows part of the Preferences menu where you can change the index files setup (figure~\ref{fig:index}).

\paragraph{Locale} \index{locale/language} The default is \textit{sys} so that the system language is active. With the pulldown menu we can choose among the other languages present in ... This language will be saved in
your Configuration and used each time you start up CinGG. In order to change the environment variable, LANGUAGE, the setting must be \textit{sys} because that is the best way we could get it working.
-\paragraph{Layout Scale} \index{layout scale} allows for setting up scaling for your 4K monitors or any monitor where you would like the text and icons to be just a little bigger or a lot bigger. This scale setting is automatically saved across sessions.
+\paragraph{Layout Scale} \index{layout scale} Allows for setting up scaling for your 4K monitors or any monitor where you would like the text and icons to be just a little bigger or a lot bigger. This scale setting is automatically saved across sessions.
When first using \CGG{}, or if \textit{Layout Scale} has never been set, the initial value is 0.0.
This means an automatic probe of the biggest monitor in use will be used for the setting. The advantage of this is that "new users" with a 4K monitor will not immediately be discouraged with too small text/icons.
Leaving it at 0 instead of 1 is what most people will do and is probably preferable so that if you move to a different monitor with different dimensions/resolution, it will automatically probe.

-\paragraph{Highlighting Inversion color} \index{inverted colors} modify the selection area color; default is \textit{ffffff} which is white. When you make a selection, that area becomes an inverse image which by default becomes a whitish color. You can set it to a different color by modifying the hex value in the box next to \textit{Highlight inversion color}. Keep in mind that if you set the value to a low value, you will not be able to see the outlined selected area (for example the hex value "f" is not readily visible and leads to confusion). A leading 0 or blank is not allowed and will be automatically changed to \textit{ffffff}.

In fact if used accidentally, it could lead to the loss of the original EDL content, which is overwritten without changing the project name. See Batch Rendering, section \nameref{sub:advanced_features}.
