Chapter 17 — Settings and Preferences

Scene Cards has a small set of app-wide preferences. On 🍎 macOS they live in the Settings window; on 📐📱 iPadOS and iPhone there is no separate settings panel — the only in-app option is subscription management in the ⋯ overflow menu.

17.1 🍎 macOS — Settings Window

Open with ⌘, or Scene Cards → Settings….

General

Setting	Default	What it does
Open inspector automatically when selecting a tile	On	Inspector opens whenever you click a card. Turn off to open it manually.
Confirm before deleting a tile	On	Shows an alert before deleting a card. Turn off if you find the confirmation slow.
Large scene numbers on tiles	On	Displays the scene number prominently on each card face.

Printing

No configurable options. This tab confirms that printing is always A4 portrait with no margins and that cards scale automatically to fit the page. See §11 for the full printing guide.

17.2 Document-Level Preferences

Some preferences belong to the document rather than the app — they travel with the .scenecards file and apply only to that production.

Preference	Where to change it
Wall width (columns)	📐📱 Pinch on the wall to adjust (1–10 columns)
Character colours	Inspector → a card with character dialogue → colour picker
Excluded characters	Inspector → character list → exclude toggle

17.3 Subscription Management

📐📱 iPadOS and iPhone — tap ⋯ → Manage Subscription… to open the App Store subscriptions page, where you can renew, cancel or change your plan. If the trial has expired, ⋯ → Try Scene Cards Pro Free for 14 Days… restarts the paywall flow.

🍎 macOS — manage your subscription through the App Store app: open App Store → click your account icon → Subscriptions.

ⓘ Note — restoring a subscription purchased on another device: open the App Store and sign in with the same Apple ID. Scene Cards checks your entitlements automatically on launch.
