General, Multiviewer

You can access the Just Control Preferences via the application menu “Just Control -> Settings”, by using the keyboard shortcut “Command - ,” or clicking on the Gear (Cogwheel) icon in the Just Control Inspector.

Open

In the “General/Multi-viewer” tab you can change preferences related to the Channel Viewer, Inspector, Error Messaging (Error display) and Login behaviour.

Locking

Available options:

• No locking

• Lockable Inspector

• Lockable Inspector And Multi-Viewer

Lockable Inspector

When activating this feature, the Inspector is locked for unintended access. Only “Users” with admin access (macOS System) can change settings within the Just Control Inspector. Only the naming section within the Just Control Inspector can be accessed.

Open

Click the “Close” button of the Just Control Inspector while pressing and holding the “Option” key. You will notice that the “Close” button turns into a Lock while pressing and holding the “Option” key. This indicates that the Just Control Inspector can be unlocked. Alternatively, you could also invoke the desired locking action by selecting “Lock Just Control (Option-Command-L)” from the “Just Control” menu.

To unlock the Just Control Inspector again, you need to enter the admin credentials and click on the “OK” button.

Lockable Inspector And Multi-Viewer

By activating this option, the Just Control Inspector and the Multi viewer area are locked for unintended access and any recording actions. Only Users with admin access (macOS System) can change settings within the Just Control user interface. Only the naming section within the Just Control Inspector can be adjusted. This is useful in case that recordings are underway and accidental overruling is not desired.

This feature can be enabled or disabled in the same way as the “Lockable Inspector” setting mentioned above.

Lock multi-viewer drag-and-drop

By using this option, it can be prevented from accidentally dragging and dropping connected Channel Viewers to different Channel Viewers.

Automatically Log In Last User

By checking this option, entering Login credentials is not required, and the last known “User” will be automatically logged in. Please note, that this is only possible for “Users”, which have not yet defined any password.

Mouse Behaviour

You can define which overlays will be shown when entering or exiting a Channel Viewer.

• Mouse Enter Action: select whether the specific element will be shown or hidden when the mouse is hovering over a Channel View.

• Mouse Exit Action: select whether the specific element will be shown or hidden when the mouse is not hovering over a Channel View.

• Quicklook Action: select whether the specific element will be shown or hidden when the Channel is in Quicklook Mode.

Users

In the “Users” tab, you can check and adjust all available “Users” and “Templates”.

The left column lists all existing “Users” and by selecting any of these, you can see the corresponding/allocated “Template(s)” (Multi viewer layouts).

If you want to change the password of a “User”, select the “User” and press the “Change Password” button.

Enter a new “Password” and press the “Set” button. If you would like to remove the current “Password”, leave the field empty and use the “Set” button.

just:in

Within the “just:in” tab you can set the option to confirm the stopping of a Recording:

Confirm stop recording

This is a safety feature to avoid unintended recording interruptions. When enabled, a Recording can only be stopped by pressing the “Record” button a second time to confirm the action. This feature applies to the “Crash” and “Schedule” recording modes only.

When pressing the “Record” button once, a checkmark appears. Clicking on the checkmark within a few seconds will stop the recording process. Otherwise, the Recording will continue.

Stopping ongoing Recordings with the “Group Stop Recording” button at the bottom of the Inspector is affected by this setting as well.

Appearance (macOS)

Just Control uses the macOS system-wide “Appearance” and “Accent” colour, which is set in the “Appearance” preference pane within the “System Settings…” (macOS Ventura onwards).
