General
The General page contains general settings that affect the program user interface. Set these according to your preferred work methods.
- Language
Allows you to select which language is used in the program. After switching the language, you must restart the program for the change to take effect.
- Auto Save
If this option is activated, Nuendo automatically saves backup copies of all open projects with unsaved changes. These are named Name.bak, where name is the name of the project, and are saved in the project folder. Backup copies of unsaved projects are named #UntitledX.bak where X is an incremental number, to allow multiple backup copies in the same project folder.
- Auto Save Interval
Allows you to specify how often a backup copy is created.
- Maximum Backup Files
Allows you to specify how many backup files will be created with the Auto Save function. When the maximum number of backup files is reached, the existing files will be overwritten (starting with the oldest file).
- Show Tips
If this option is activated and you position the pointer over an icon or button in Nuendo, an explanatory tooltip is displayed after a second.
- Use Edge Hints
-
If this option is activated, you can position the mouse pointer at one of the Project window edges to show a pane with options to open or close the sections.
- Maximum Undo Steps
Allows you to specify the number of undo levels.
- Use Undo Branches
If this option is activated, edit actions in the Edit History dialog and automation actions on the automation panel are gathered in branches. A new branch is always created when you undo an action.
- Run Setup on Create New Project
If this option is activated, Nuendo automatically displays the Project Setup dialog every time you create a new project. This allows you to specify the basic project configuration.

Only External Projects
Projects that have been created on a different computer are opened using the view that you last used on your computer. Projects that have been created on this computer are opened using their original window layout and settings.

- Open Last Project on Startup
