TheRecipeManager has a number of preferences for prompting users for confirmation of removal of information, single cooking view override, food exchanges tab, ingredient autofill function, enabling an iPod for exports and a number of printing options.

From the 'Edit' menu, select the 'Preferences...' option.

You will then be presented with the 'Preferences' window, with buttons at the top to enable you to access three different preference areas; General, Cookbook, Printing.

General preferences
