General

Launcher

Settings that affect the behavior of the Launcher used to view and open Projects in Nova.

Show when Nova starts if no projects are open

If enabled, the Launcher will automatically appear when Nova is launched assuming no other windows are already being opened or reopened.

Show after the last project window is closed

If enabled, the Launcher will automatically appear after closing all other open Nova workspaces.

When opening a folder, add it to projects automatically

If enabled, opening a local folder in Nova that is not already tied to a Project will add that folder to the Launcher as a Project.

Alerts

Reset Suppressed Alerts

If selected, any alerts or prompts that you previously chose not to see again will be permitted to appear.

Privacy

Decide what data Nova is allowed to report back to Panic.

Send crash reports

If enabled, Nova will ask you to submit crash reports to Panic when you reopen the app after a crash. These reports are anonymized unless you opt to include your name or email address. You can also decline to send a report even if this option is enabled.

Send anonymous usage statistics

Determines whether anonymous usage data are sent to Panic. Read a clear, simple explanation of exactly what is sent - and why - on our website.

Check for important announcements

If enabled, Panic may show alerts when you first open Nova with important news or updates regarding Nova.

Software Updates

Automatically keep Nova up to date

If enabled, updates will be downloaded in the background while you work, as they become available. You will be prompted to relaunch Nova when an update is ready to be installed.

Check for Updates

If selected, Nova will check for any available updates. If automatic updates are disabled, Nova will not check unless you manually click this button, or check for updates in the Nova menu > About Nova.
