Select Tools > FME Options and click the Translation icon.
Translation Priority
Sets the CPU priority for running translations. In most cases, the default Normal setting will be adequate. If you regularly run large translations, you can keep the default setting, or change it to Low, so the translations won't dominate your CPU (and so you can do other work in the foreground while the translation is running). If you have other CPU-intensive tasks running concurrently, you may want to set the priority to High to make sure the translation gets its share of the CPU.
Track Usage Statistics
You can help improve FME by sending anonymous usage statistics to Safe Software.
FME will transmit information about your version of Windows and how you use FME. The information collection process is completely anonymous, and your results will be automatically combined with other users' results.
The resulting statistics will help us identify trends and usage patterns (for example, which formats and processing facilities are utilized more than others), which in turn will help us focus our development efforts for future versions of FME. We will not collect your name, address or any other personally identifiable information.
For more information, see Usage Statistics Tracking.
Log File Defaults
- Save log to file: Save the translation log in the default workspace folder. (When you choose "Save to file" in the log pane, the default location will be the location you choose under Default Workspace Directory, below. The default filename will be translation_log.txt.)
- Append to log file: Appends log results to the previously generated log, instead of overwriting the file.
- Log Timestamp and Debugging Information: You can choose to add these additional details to your log file output.
Log Filter
Choose the type of messages that you want to view in the log file. For example, you might want the log to display only Warnings and Errors.
Python Interpreter
Allows you to explicitly specify a Python interpreter for FME to use when running Python scripts.:
- Check Use Custom Python Interpreter.
- Browse to the location of the Python DLL you wish to use (for example,
python26.dll). - Click Apply or OK to save your changes.
For more information on Python and FME, see Startup and Shutdown Python Scripts.
Default Python Interpreter
If a custom Python interpreter is not specified, this setting specifies the level of compatibility FME Desktop has with different versions of the Python programming language. This setting can also be specified for individual workspaces. For more information, see Python Interpreter.
R Interpreter
Allows you to explicitly specify an R interpreter for FME to use when running R scripts. To specify an R interpreter, browse to the interpreter's RScript.exe (Windows) or RScript (Linux or Macintosh) file, and click Apply or OK.
If not specified, FME looks for an R interpreter that is packaged or installed in a standard location.
