<h1>Settings Dialog</h1>
Settings are stored in $HOME/.config/qmprc<br>
For Windows users, $HOME refers to X:\Users\<your user name>\.config, where X is the system drive of your
Windows installation.<br>
Options with one asterisk will be applied after restarting QMidiPlayer.<br>
Options with two asterisks will be applied after the internal fluidsynth is restarted.<br>
Other options are applied immediately.<br>
<img src="../img/options1.png"><br>
<ul>
<li>Default Output Device*: specify the default midi device to use.</li>
<li>Disable Midi Mapping*: only use the default output device.</li>
<li>Send SysEx: whether to send system exclusive messages or not.</li>
<li>Wait for remaining voices before stopping:<br>
If checked, the player will not stop until the current polyphone reaches 0.<br>
Otherwise it will stop immediately after the last event is sent.
</li>
<li>Text encoding: text encoding used in the midi file.</li>
</ul>
<img src="../img/options2.png"><br>

<li>Auto bank select mode:<br>
If checked, the player will choose the appropriate bank selecting mode
according to the file standard. If the file doesn't specify the standard
the player will fallback to the default bank select mode.
Otherwise the player will only use the default bank select mode.
</li>
<li>(Fallback) Bank Select Mode: the default bank select mode.</li>
</ul>
<img src="../img/options3.png"><br>
You can manage soundfont used by the internal fluidsynth engine here.<br>
If multiple soundfonts provide instruments with the same bank numbers and preset numbers,
the preset provided by the top most soundfont will be used.<br>
<img src="../img/options4.png"><br>
<ul>
<li>Restore last playlist on startup*: If checked and QMidiPlayer is started without files
to open, the playlist from the last session will be used instead of an empty playlist.</li>
<li>Load files in the same folder*: If checked, QMidiPlayer will add all midi files in the
same folder to the playlist when started with a file.</li>
<li>Save dialog status*: Save dialog positions and restore on start up.</li>
<li>Save parameters in effects window</li>
<li>Persistent fluidsynth instance*: If checked, the synthesizer engine will keep running
through the whole session. Otherwise it is restarted every time when a new song is played.</li>
