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

Appearance ​

  • Font Size: Adjust the global font size of the application.

Python Environment ​

  • Developer Mode: This mode is for advanced users and developers. It allows you to specify a custom path to your Python executable and the source code directory for the cxml_py package. This is useful for debugging or running custom versions of the backend.
  • Redis Server: Enable this if you are using a Redis server to manage background tasks. This is an advanced feature for handling long-running computations.
  • Python Package: The UI displays the status of the Python backend, including the Python version and the version of the cxml_py package.

  • 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.

Process Monitor ​

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.

Console ​

This tab displays a log of messages from the application's backend and frontend, which can be useful for debugging.
