Your name, your folders, and how Nearfield behaves while you work.

This computer

The card “This computer” has these rows:

  • “Your name”. Nearfield looks for this name when someone @-mentions you. It stays on this computer.
  • “Where Nearfield looks for your music”. Press “Open the folder list”. See Choose where Nearfield looks for samples.
  • “Account”. Press “Open account”. See Manage your account.
  • “Contacts”. Press “Open contacts”. See Connect with a person.
  • “Diagnostics”. Press “Open”. See Crash reports.

Further down

Other cards on Settings hold these choices:

  • “Watch my folders for changes”. Nearfield checks your project folders and updates the library by itself.
  • “Pause all sending and receiving”. Nearfield stops sending and receiving on this computer. Nothing is deleted on any computer.
  • “Start Nearfield when I log in”. Nearfield starts by itself when you log in.
  • “Send usage counts”. A few counts once a day. Never your music, file names or project names.
  • “Notifications”. Choose whether a sound plays when a note or a new version lands. This card also has switches for desktop notifications, but this beta does not show desktop notifications yet.
