When you exit the Symbol Compiler application, it automatically saves some basic settings, such as the window bounds and the path to the current project. At the next session, the current project is automatically opened. If you want to launch the Symbol Compiler with the default context without opening your previous project, you can run it with the -clean command line argument.

The Symbol Compiler knows how to translate some predefined CSS functions, see Using custom functions. If you want to register your own predefined CSS functions in the Symbol Compiler, extract the file ilog/views/util/css/cssfunctions.properties from jviews-framework-all.jar. This file contains the settings for predefined CSS functions. Follow the instructions in this file to add your own CSS functions.
