Auto Update: if the "check for updates automatically" option is checked the application will check for updates when it starts, once every number of days set in the "check every X days" option. If the number of days is set to 0 (zero) the application will check for updates every time it starts. The default value is checked, with an interval of 7 days.

Images: if the "auto rotate images when loading" option is checked the application will use the orientation metadata information to rotate the images to their upright position immediately after opening the image. The image will not be automatically saved with its rotation changed. The default value is unchecked. For more details on rotating the images, see the Rotating Images section.

General: if the "keep the last folder" option is checked the application will save the last folder that an image was opened from and will go to that folder automatically when opening another file, otherwise it will always go to the Pictures (My Pictures under Windows XP) folder. The default value is checked.
