Environment Variables

In addition to these command line options that Synfig understands, several environment variables can be set to affect the behaviour of Synfig Studio:-

The following affect the display of tools in the main dialog window:-
export SYNFIG_ENABLE_POLYGON=1
export SYNFIG_ENABLE_DRAW=1
export SYNFIG_ENABLE_SKETCH=1
export SYNFIG_ENABLE_WIDTH=1

These two allow you to tweak the height of the timetrack so that it aligns with the parameters dialog
export SYNFIG_TIMETRACK_ROW_HEIGHT=21
export SYNFIG_TIMETRACK_HEADER_HEIGHT=25

For the more recent SVN versions
export SYNFIG_DISABLE_POPUP_WINDOWS=1
to make splash screen etc. less obtrusive ...

Beginning with SVN version r1127
Addressing bug 1829182: the popup caret menu has been disabled for several tools. There's no comment in the code saying why. Dooglus has added an environment variable which re-enables the popup menu when set. Export SYNFIG_ENABLE_POPUP_MENU_IN_ALL_TOOLS=1 to try it, and report your findings back to the bug report as to whether this should be the default or not.
