Run links on single click
This option will run links from
the main list when you click on them once.

Run links on double click
This option will run links from the main list when you click
on them twice.

Disable file exists checking
Tick this option to stop VLink from checking whether or not a file exists
(and giving you a warning if it does not) when it is running a link.
Use this option if VLink is giving warnings for files that either should
exist, or files that are not local and that it has not detected as being
non-local.

Disable quick multirun
Holding down the control key in the main window will activate quick
multirun mode, in which you can select a number of links for VLink to
run at the same time. Ticking this option will stop VLink from entering
this mode.

Force order on quick multirun
Tick this option to have VLink attempt to run all of the links selected
in quick multirun in the exact order that they appear on the list.

Link direct to files
This option will find the links that Windows shortcuts point to and
link to them instead, whenever you try to add a link to a Windows shortcut.
Otherwise, VLink will simply link to the shortcut itself.

Force Order
Using the force order options, you can set VLink to control the order
in which multiple links are run in multiple run launches. There are
two different approaches to achieving this, and a further option listed
below that affects both of the force order styles.
Adaptive
This will attempt to detect if a launched program is running already,
and therefore move onto the next link in the list to be run. So, times
between running programs may vary using this method depending on how
long a link actually takes to launch. However, programs with splash
screens can prove seriously problematic to the success of the detection
routine, and are highly likely to result in an incorrect final ordering.
The 'Force order speed' setting is still used in the detection routine
to set how long it waits before checking again whether the current link
has been successfully launched.

Simple wait
This approach simply waits the amount of time set in 'Force order speed'
between running each link, and attempts no detection. Moving the slider
to the right results in longer waits between running each link. Simple
wait is generally more reliable.
Back to top
Force order speed
Set this in general according to the speed of your computer. If links
are not being run in order, set the slider closed to the right, and
if there is too much of a pause between running links, set it further
to the left. Note that overall system stress levels will also affect
performance.
