The InaSAFE plugin provides an options dialog which allows you to

options dialog can be launched by clicking on the InaSAFE plugin toolbar’s
options icon (as shown below) or by doing .
Then the dialog will appear, looking something like this:
Note
You can click on the Help button at any time and it
will open the help documentation browser to this page.
The following options are available on the Options Dialog:
- Only show visible layers in the InaSAFE dock : This option will
determine whether all (when unchecked) hazard and impact layers should
be listed in the InaSAFE dock’s combo boxes. or (when checked) only visible
layers.
- Set QGIS layer name from ‘title’ in keywords : This option will
(when enabled) cause QGIS to name layers in the Layers tree
using the title keyword in the layer’s keywords file. If the layer
has no ‘title’ in its keywords, or it has no keywords at all, the normal
QGIS behaviour for naming layers will apply.
- Zoom to impact layer on scenario estimate completion : This
option will cause the map view to zoom in/out in order to completely contain
the InaSAFE impact scenario map output when an analysis completes.
- Hide exposure layer on scenario estimate completion : This
option will cause QGIS to turn off the exposure layer used when InaSAFE
completes the current analysis. You can re-enable the layer visibility
again by checking its checkbox in the legend.
- Keyword cache for remote datasources : This option is used to
determine where keywords are stored for datasets where it is not possible
to write them into a .keywords file. See Keywords System for more information
on the keywords system.
- Run analysis in separate thread (experimental) : This option
cause the analysis to be run in its own thread.
Warning
It is not recommended to use the threaded implementation at this
time. For this reason it is disabled by default.
Pressing Cancel at any time will close the options dialog and any
changes made will not be applied.
Pressing Ok at any time will close the options dialog and any
changes made will be applied immediately.
Note
The exact button order shown on this dialog may differ depending on
your operating system or desktop environment.
