Settings ​

The Settings section provides a range of options to configure the application, manage the backend server, and view system information. The settings are organized into several tabs.

Configuration ​

This is the main settings tab, where you can configure the Python backend, appearance, and other core settings.

Settings Configuration

  • Application Directories: Quick links to open the application's local data, log, and resource directories.

Update ​

This tab handles updates for both the ChemXploreML application and its Python assets.

Update Settings

  • Check for Updates: Manually check for new versions of the application.
  • Update Interval: Set how frequently the application should automatically check for updates.
  • Python Assets: Check for, download, and install updates for the Python backend package and other assets.

This tab allows you to monitor the connection to the backend server and the Redis message queue (if enabled).

  • Websocket Connection: Manually connect or disconnect the websocket that communicates with the Python server.
  • RQ Dashboard: Open the Redis Queue (RQ) dashboard in your web browser to monitor the status of background jobs.

System ​

This is an informational tab that displays details about your system and the application's components.

  • System: Your operating system, architecture, RAM, and CPU core count.
  • Versions: The versions of ChemXploreML, Tauri, Python, and the cxml_py package.
