Checking Droplet Settings

This section describes several ways to check and adjust Droplet settings.

“Show window on startup” Checkbox

whether or not a Droplet window opens when a batch is dragged to a Droplet icon. If it
is selected, the Droplet window opens when you drag a batch to the Droplet icon, and
you can view the Droplet settings.
