General

Name	Description
Motor speed (%)	Speed of the robot’s motors when: you move a joint in Robot View, click on a keyframe of a Timeline, or select a pose in the Pose library panel. Warning: It is not advised to exceed 75% as it could prematurely damage the motors of the robot.
User’s box libraries	Allows you to choose one or more Box libraries saved on your computer which will be automatically loaded at Choregraphe startup. For further details, see: Managing Box libraries.
User’s pose libraries	Allows you to choose one or more Pose libraries saved on your computer which will be automatically loaded at Choregraphe startup. For further details, see: Pose library panel.

Language	Language of Choregraphe interface.
Background color	Color of the background of Choregraphe interface.
Upon external modification	Choose the action to take whenever your currently opened Project directory is modified by an external application. Select: Update project content to update your project content with the modified files. Keep project content to ignore the changes, which will be overwritten at save. Always ask (selected by default) if you want to be asked each time a change is detected.
When playing current behavior	Choose whether the current Project files should be saved or not when the current Behavior is about to be played.
When disconnecting while current behavior is running	Choose whether the current Behavior should be stopped or not when Choregraphe is about to close its connection with the robot.
Automatically show the Debug Window when an error occurs	If enabled, the Log viewer is automatically displayed as soon as an error occurs in the execution of a Behavior.
Start Choregraphe without the 3D	Replaces the 3D view with a static 2D picture of the robot. So you do not have any feedback anymore about the move of the robot but it does not take so much processor. Moreover, with H25 and H21, you are still able to move the joints of the robot by selecting the body part you want to move. For further details, see: Robot View.
Show global stiffness button, for Nao only	Show on the toolbar, the deprecated button: Set on/off the stiffness . Enabled only for NAO. Warning: only for experimented users.
Display monospaced font in script editor	If enabled, the font used in the script editor is monospaced. It means that any character will take the same space on the screen as another (which is not the case of the font used by default). For further details, see: Script editor panel.
Display code folding buttons in script editor	If enabled, a + / - button allows collapsing/expanding script lines. For further details, see: Script editor panel.
Wrap text in script editor	If enabled, the text is wrapped according to the panel width. For further details, see: Script editor panel.
Ask for confirmation before removing project files	If enabled, a confirmation message appears when removing a file from the current project.
