I have been using deffnet in windows for years, and on my mac for a
while. However, I used to be able to make changes to the settings in
the OSX version, and when I updated it recently from a *really* old
version, I couldn't figure out where I had made the setting changes.
Among these changes is the default name for files when saving (I like
to have the title and the ff.net story ID together) so I've had to use
my windows machine for doing all my downloads. I am curious if anyone
knows where to make these changes so that I can go back to using it on
my osx machine.

Also, I'm interested to know if there's any word on being able to
automate the downloads (IE use a txt file of story ID numbers to
download one at a time) Occasionally I get 100+ stories I want to
download and it takes time to sit there. I'd love to be able to turn
it on at night, and have it download one set at a time.

I'm not talking about the basic preferences (where the files are stored and where the template to take it from is) I'm talking about the more specialized settings. IE, as I said before the actual naming of the folder. In windows it's in the registry and has some information like:

"basezeroes"=dword:00000012
"dirtmpl"="[%(title)s] %(storyid)i"

along with the general preference information. the 'dirtmpl' is the preference I want to set and it is not in the normal preferences. I know there is a way to access it, as I have had it setup before but I have no idea where it is anymore.
