Delete session folder removed by user

Tracker will automatically delete sessions linked to the layers which was deleted from the Mapper (by Remove operation or Merge).
Be careful, since all sessions will be deleted permanently, and even if you will use operation undo for deleted layer - the removed session wont be restored.

Delete session folder and layer if size less than ...

Tracker will remove all layers (and linked session), which number of tiles is smaller than specified in the appropriate field.
Be careful, since all sessions will be deleted permanently, and even if you will use operation undo for deleted layer - the removed session wont be restored.
Tracker will not remove current layer, since it can grown in time.

Track player position (only Amber)

Amber's client can store current player position in file. To enable this feature you should launch Amber with key -p <file>, where <file> is a name of file which will be used by Amber client to storing player position.
You can specify path to the same file and Mapper will draw current player position in the viewport.</file></file>
