Hidden Features
Fission has a great many features, some of which can be a bit difficult to find. Read this over for some of the lesser-known features of Fission
Debugging
The Debugging dialog can be accessed by holding down the option key as Fission launches. If a problem occurs, these debugging options may show what's wrong.
Hidden Preferences
In the name of simplicity, not all of Fission's preferences are accessible from within the application. Some prefs can only be accessed through the "defaults" system in the Terminal or by editing the preferences file (~/Library/Preferences/com.rogueamoeba.Fission.plist) by hand.
disableSaveWarning: This preference toggles the appearance of the Save Warning when closing a file in Fission.
The example command below for the Terminal will prevent the Save Changes warning from appearing.
defaults write com.rogueamoeba.fission disableSaveWarning -bool YES
limitSmartSplits: This preference toggles a limiter placed on the number of splits found by the Smart Split window. By default, this window is limited to finding 100 splits. Removing this limit will allow the Smart Split window to find more splits, but can slow the program or cause it to crash.
The example command below for the Terminal will cause the Smart Split limiter to be deactivated.
defaults write com.rogueamoeba.fission limitSmartSplits -bool NO
registrationObscured: This preference controls the visibility of the registration code in the Registration window. If you're in a group environment, you may wish to obscure this code to prevent theft.
The example command below for the Terminal will cause the code to be obscured in the Registration window.
defaults write com.rogueamoeba.Fission registrationObscured YES
initialZoomFactor: This preference controls the zoom factor for newly opened files. By default, new windows open at 2x zoom.
The example command below for the Terminal will cause new documents to open at 32x zoom.
defaults write com.rogueamoeba.Fission initialZoomFactor 32
