 ===== Filenames not to remove =====
-This setting allows you to specify rules for files to ignore in your ToSort folders. Any ignored files are still scanned by RomVault, but they are flagged with an "ignore" status and will not be removed or used for fixes. To force the scanning engine to completely ignore files and not attempt to scan, prefix the the rule with ''ignore:''. Some examples include:

-===== Convert all 7z to RV7z =====
+===== Max ZSTD workers =====
-Enabling this setting will recompress all 7z archives to RV7z format during a fix operation
+RomVault uses a multithreaded implementation of zstd. This setting specifies the maximum number of workers to spawn per compression stream.
-  * Default: Disabled
+  * Default: Auto (Detected CPU cores minus 2)
-<WRAP info>If this is disabled then existing 7z or torrent7z archives will remain as is. However, any new or modified 7z archives will be written as RV7z. RomVault can read regular 7z and torrent7z archives but it only supports writing RV7z archives.</WRAP>
+<WRAP info>RomVault uses zstd level 19, which has a job size of 32 MiB. Each worker or thread will process a 32 MiB chunk of the data stream. Smaller files will compress slower than a single large file because fewer workers are spawned. This behavior is normal and is apparent if you monitor CPU utilization during a Fix.</WRAP>
+===== Default 7z type =====
+This setting specifies how RomVault should pack 7z archives in ToSort directories in the event that the 7z archive needs to be modified.
+  * Default: ZSTD Non-Solid
-===== Detailed Fix Reporting =====
-Enabling this setting will display more verbose logging while a fix is running. This primarily includes Delete actions and has no impact on fixing performance.
+===== Send Found MIA notifications =====
+Enabling this setting will send a notification to DATVault whenever you find an MIA ROM. Once enough people have found the ROM, the MIA status will be removed from the DAT during the next scheduled DATVault update which normally occurs at least once per day.
+  * Default: Enabled
+===== Send anonymously =====
+This setting is a modifier to the Send Found MIA notifications setting. It allows DATVault users to send MIA notifications without any association to their DATVault key. This effectively makes Patreon supports appear like anonymous RV users. This setting has no effect for users without a DATVault key since they are already anonymous.
   * Default: Disabled
-===== Send Found MIA (DATVault Users Only) =====
+===== Delete previous Cue file zips in ToSort =====
-Enabling this setting will send a notification to DATVault whenever you find an MIA ROM. This will then remove the MIA status from the DAT during the next scheduled DATVault update which normally occurs at least once per day.
+This setting is mainly for DATVault users who collect a subset of redump.org discs and use the "Keep only complete" DAT Rule setting. When "Keep only complete" is used, partial sets are not stored in your RomRoot. The most common culprit for a partial set is the cue file. This setting simply deletes old cue packs from ToSort so they do not pile up with files that are purposely ignored since they would result in an incomplete set. This setting has no effect for people who do not use DATVault.

-===== Debug Logs Enabled =====
-Enabling this setting will write debug log files to the "Logs" directory relative to the RomVault EXE
+===== Enable Debug logging =====
+Enabling this setting will write debug log files to the "Logs" directory relative to the RomVault executable

 <WRAP info>Do not enable this unless you are troubleshooting an error. If you are asking for support on the RomVault Discord, please try to reproduce the issue with debug logs enabled as it will help others help you with the issue.</WRAP>
+===== Do not report feedback =====
+Enabling this setting will prevent RomVault from sending crash reports
