Fitting JChemPaint to your needs

This section describes how JChemPaint can be customized to fit your working environment. Generally, custom settings are stored in your ${HOME}/.jchempaint directory. On UNIX like systems, like SunOS, BSD and Linux systems, ${HOME} is something like /home/user. The value of ${HOME} for your system can be looked up in the Info dialog from the Help menu.

Setting the GUI language

The file ${HOME}/.jchempaint/properties has two properties with which your local language can be set:

Locale_language = nl
Locale_country = NL

This particular example sets the language to Dutch (nl_NL). The default language is English (en_US).
