How do I set the default formats for exporting SnapGene files to other file types?
Open Preferences
Click SnapGene → Preferences (macOS) or Edit → Preferences (Windows or Linux), and select "Export" in the sidebar.
Set the Default Formats for Exported Files
Use the drop-down menus to select the default exported file type for DNA and RNA sequences, protein sequences, and alignments.
Set the Line Break Format
Use the drop-down menu to set the line break format for exported files.
Export produces text files. At the end of each line in a text file, Windows expects line feed and carriage return characters, whereas Linux and macOS expect a line feed character only. Set the line break format to suit the target operating system on which the exported files will be used.
