The Advanced tab provides infrequently used bottle options. Most of the settings available here will be automatically set to reasonable defaults.
Configure Bottle. This button launches the Bottle Settings dialog.
Make Archive... This button creates a compressed archive of the selected bottle. It is often prudent to make a backup archive of a bottle before installing new software or modifying bottle settings. Archives can be restored using the Add From Archive... button.
Bottle type. All bottles, when created, are of type 'private'. A private bottle can only be used by a single user on the system, and is stored in that user's home folder.
A 'managed' bottle is stored in a public directory (In
/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/') and can be
used by any user of your system. Managed bottles cannot be modified -- any
changes that a user makes to the bottle are stored for that user only. The
only way to make public changes to a managed bottle is to make a private
copy of the bottle, modify the private copy, and then re-publish.
Publish... The button makes a managed copy of a selected bottle. You will be prompted for a name for this managed bottle. Once the bottle is copied, all the users of your system will have access to the applications and data in that bottle.

Any private data that is stored in a bottle's C: drive (for example, passwords, login information, private emails, etc.) will be available to all users on the system. Generally it is best to publish a new bottle before you have configured or used any of the installed applications. |
Open C: Drive in Finder. This button will open a new Finder window displaying the contents of the current bottle's C: drive.
Make this the default bottle. The default bottle is displayed in boldface in the bottle list. The default bottle is used by CrossOver to handle files and documents that are passed to CrossOver directly without any indication about which bottle should be used.
