I started a brief description of the FreeCAD general documentation. Here is the result:
https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Preferences_Editor
This page contains now a description of every option of the general preferences of FreeCAD and of the different file formats (because they are used by several workbenches). Preference descriptions of the different workbenches have not been touched yet and will not appear in the general preferences Wiki page).
In the Wiki page you can still see some '??' which means information is missing or unclear. If you know something that is not yet documented or you have remarks, please either add it to the Wiki page or post it here.
During my work several users complaint about the screenshots in the page because they cannot be translated. I agree and furthermore in my opinion they don't provide any additional information since every FC user get their info by opening the preferences dialog.
However, when I started to add info to the page it consisted only of the screenshots, and thus I left them (just updated them and used smaller thumbnails). So the question is now if I should remove the screenshots or not.
Besides, this I redirected now from https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.p ... Preference to
https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Prefere ... t_settings
because the latter consists only of screenshots. Also, as different file formats are used by different WBs their preferences description belongs in my opinion to the general preferences page.
