Chosen solution

I think it's Edit|Preferences on the Mac. Or something similar under the hamburger button.

I'm getting stuff about creating a Dropbox account (l already have one) so I'm not going to even try to see your picture. Uploading to this site works well for me.

good catch.

iirc, it got moved because the "Advanced" section with General, Data Choices, etc had gotten to long to fit all the tabs in the dialog window
