What each setting does
Default Output Folder is where files go when Save at source folder is off. Default Quality is where the Quality slider starts. Hardware acceleration: GPU (auto) uses your NVIDIA, Intel or AMD graphics card for videos to MP4, MKV and MOV, and falls back to the processor if needed; CPU only never uses it. Quick Convert shortcut sets or turns off Ctrl + Alt + C. Updates install automatically; Check now looks straight away. More shortcuts adds keys for the wheel’s Presets page and for Repeat last. Explorer right-click menu adds S Converter to File Explorer’s menu. Watch folders converts new files in folders you choose (see Watch folders). Theme picks the look: Lumen, Aether, Silver or Gel. Language, at the top of Settings, switches between 20 languages.

Questions
Should I switch hardware acceleration off?
Usually not. Leave it on GPU (auto); if a video ever fails on the graphics card, S Converter redoes it on the processor by itself.
How do I know I have the latest version?
Updates install automatically. Press Check now under Updates, or look at the version in About.
