Save World/ Prj Files for Downloaded Tiles

Copy Error Text to Windows Clipboard
If selected, text displayed on any error dialogs will be automatically copied to the clipboard as text (for pasting). DE-select this if the clipboard is being used for other tasks, so that data is not inadvertently erased when a Global Mapper process fails and shows an error.

If selected, clicking a workspace file in Windows Explorer will open the workspace in a new Global Mapper window, rather than loading inside the current application window.
Allow RUN_COMMAND (i.e. External Programs) in Scripts
The RUN_COMMAND can be called in scripts and workspaces and will run external programs. This is enabled by default. Un-check this option to disable this for security. This setting can only be controlled from the application interface, not from scripting.
