 <h1>Preference Recorder Dialog</h1>
 <p>
 The preference recorder detects all preferences that were changed while the Preferences dialog was open.
 It provides the ability to selectively record each changed preference.
 A recorded preference has global impact, i.e., it applies to all workspaces, not just the current workspace.
 All recorded preferences are automatically applied on startup.
 They can be manually applied via <span class="selectstep">Help &rarr; Perform Setup Tasks&hellip;</span> to an already-running IDE.
 </p>
 <h2>Preference Selection and Policies</h2>
 <p>
 Preference selection determines not only what's recorded, but also how future changes to that preference are handled:
 </p>
 <ul>
 <li>
 Each checked preference will be recorded. In the future, any change to that preference will simply be recorded without prompting.
 </li>
 <li>
 Each unchecked preference will not be recorded. In the future, any change to that preference will simply be ignored without prompting.
 </li>
 </ul>
 <p>
 In other words, not only are preferences selectively recorded, but also preference handling policies are maintained.
 As such, this dialog will appear less often as you train it to either record or ignore each specific preference.
 Use <span class="selectstep">Window &rarr; Oomph &rarr; Setup &rarr; Preference Recorder</span> to view or modify these policies.
 </p>
 <p>
 Recorded preferences, as well as the associated policies, are maintained in in your <em>user setup</em>,
 which you can view or modify using <span class="selectstep">Navigate &rarr; Open Setup &rarr; Open User</span>.
 </p>
 <h2>How to Proceed</h2>
 <p>
 The preference recorder dialog prompts you to take the following actions:
 </p>
 <ul>
 <li>
 Press Cancel to record nothing and to leave the policies unchanged.  In this case, the preference selections have no impact.
 </li>
 <li>
 Select the preferences you always want recorded and deselect the preferences you don't ever want recorded.
 </li>
 <li>
 Press OK, to selectively record the preferences and to update the policies.
 </li>
 <li>
 Uncheck the "Recorder enabled" button to disable preference recording and to avoid seeing this dialog the next time.
 Note that you can also enable or disable the preference recorder via the tool bar button in the Preferences dialog itself.
 </li>
 <ul>
