JLookUp Options
- [x] Remember window size and position
- If this is checked, then JLookUp will start up in exactly the same position as it was when you closed it. This setting also saves the widths and heights of the other windows within the main window.
- Window position
- Originally, this is the window's position. You may manually change it by changing these numbers and pressing 'Set'.
- Window size
- Originally, this is the window's size. You may manually change it by changing these numbers and pressing 'Set'.
- [x] Pretend like you've never opened JLookUp before.
- If this is checked, then it treats both this time and the next time as if they are your first time using JLookUp

Misc. Options

- Click on Font to change the font. This font applies to just about every font that isn't especially customizable, including the font for the number of results, and the font for the headers in the Kanji and Result Windows.

Dictionaries
- Use index files to speed up loading time
- JLookUp uses 16-bit Unicode for characters, but EDICTs are in 8-bit EUC encoding. Now, this means that JLookUp has to do some conversions before it can finish loading the dictionaries. And by 'some', I mean 'a lot'. JLookUp makes an index no matter what you say, but it keeps it in memory. If you check this, then it writes the index to a file (the first time). Now, every time it goes to load that dictionary, it will just read in the index (really fast) instead, and save a ton of time.
- Change Description
- When a dictionary is added, it's 'display name' is its filename. That's not really descriptive, so you can change it by clicking on this button.
- Dictionary File
- The dictionary's filename.
- Current Description
- What its current description is.
- New Description
- Here, you may enter a new description for the dictionary.
- Delete
- This does NOT delete the dictionary from your disk. It merely removes it from the program's options so it won't load again.
