>Existen dos formas de establecer una propiedad de un archivo. La más sencilla es mantener pulsada la tecla &Shift; cuando cambie una configuración como el tamaño del vídeo o el aspecto, el volumen del sonido, el contraste o el brillo del vídeo, etc. &kplayer; aplicará el cambio al archivo que se encuentre cargado y lo recordará en la correspondiente propiedad del archivo. Cuando cargue otro archivo, revertirá la configuración al punto anterior al cambio (a menos que el otro archivo también tenga establecida esta propiedad). Cuando cargue y reproduzca el primer archivo de nuevo, &kplayer; volverá a aplicar el cambio que haya hecho a la configuración y lo mantendrá hasta que cargue otro archivo o <acronym
>URL</acronym
>.</para>

<para
>The other way to set a file property is through the <link linkend="properties"
>File Properties dialog</link
>. The properties in the dialog are arranged according to their function. General properties like <guilabel
>Name</guilabel
>, <guilabel
>Length</guilabel
> and others are in the <link linkend="properties-general"
>General</link
> section. Properties that control the video size are in the <link linkend="properties-size"
>Size</link
> section. Other sections contain properties that affect &kplayer; interaction with <link linkend="howto-installation-mplayer"
>&mplayer;</link
> and control multimedia playback, including <link linkend="properties-video"
>video</link
>, <link linkend="properties-audio"
>audio</link
>, <link linkend="properties-subtitles"
>subtitles</link
> and <link linkend="properties-advanced"
>advanced</link
> properties.</para>

<para
>Select <menuchoice
><guimenu
>File</guimenu
> <guimenuitem
>Properties...</guimenuitem
></menuchoice
> to open the properties of the current file or <acronym
>URL</acronym
>. You can also <mousebutton
>right</mousebutton
> click an item in the <link linkend="parts-library"
><interface
>multimedia library</interface
></link
> and select the <guimenuitem
>Properties...</guimenuitem
> command to open the properties dialog for that item.</para>

<para
>El <link linkend="properties"
>capítulo del diálogo de propiedades del archivo</link
> proporciona los detalles completos de cada sección y de todas las propiedades disponibles. También el <link linkend="howto-properties"
>micro CÓMO sobre las propiedades del archivo</link
> describe esta característica con más detalle y muestra algunos ejemplos.</para>
