''Female surname differs from male's'' and ''Middle name depends on father’s first name'' checkboxes are used when creating a new person. For example, when you create a son to a woman, and the father of this son is not known, Agelong Tree leaves the son's surname empty if ''Female surname differs from male's'' is checked and vice versa, Agelong Tree puts the mother's surname if the option is not checked. 
If ''Middle name depends on father’s first name'' is checked, it works like this: when you create a son or a daughter, Agelong Tree looks for persons of the same sex whose father has the same name and if it finds one, his/her middle name is used as an example of the middle name for the person that is being created. Surnames and middle names can be corrected manually if necessary.

Tab ''Dates'' contains settings of the dates format.

The checkbox ''Select a destination folder when creating a document'' on the ''Documents'' tab works when you create a new document. If it is checked, there appears a dialogue box offering to create/pick a folder for the file which is used to create the document. If it is not checked, the file is copied directly to the documents folder.

The ''Places'' tab contains settings of places format.

If the option ''Create backup files'' is ticked (see ''Backup'' tab), Agelong Tree suggests creating an archived backup copy of the data after a sufficient number of changes have been done.

The ''Proxy server'' tab contains settings of the proxy server, they are used when a proxy server is used to access the Internet.
