You can put the following variables within the <Dict> node of the EditorialConfig configuration file. For instructions, see Adding or overriding variables in your EditorialConfig.

Find the actual values of such variables in EditorialConfig item in EdAdmin4, the Application Configuration > Client Applications, searching for EditorialConfig. The data is common for all titles in the system.

Should you need to specify different values of variables for different typographies, look for instructions at the Typography-dependent overridable variables.

glbRplImgWPlch

Integer

You can select how Fred will act, related to images, when placing a selected page object in a library. A global variable glbRplImgWPlch has the default value "2" that means replace images in the library object with placeholders. Other available values are: "1"=prompt every time, "3"=keep real image.

To change the value in EditorialConfig, add the line <Item Name="glbRplImgWPlch" Value="XXX" /> replacing "XXX" with "1", "2" or "3".

Moreover, on the Libraries tab of the Extra preferences, there is a new user preference that allows to users to select Use System Default, Prompt, Replace, or Keep image, overriding the system default.
