+When launching icarus,

+This is [a filesystem browser](#the-filesystem-browser),

+
+  - The filesystem browser only lists
+    files with extensions typically used for ROM dumps from
+    consoles higan emulates,
+    plus `.zip` files since ROM dumps are often compressed.
+  - Each matching file has a check-box next to it.

 The icarus Settings dialog
 --------------------------
 
-TODO
+The icarus Settings dialog contains the following settings:
+
+  - **Library Location** determines
+    where icarus puts the games it imports.
+    See [Moving the Game Library](#moving-the-game-library)
+    for details.
+  - **Create Manifests** causes icarus
+    to write out a manifest file describing
+    each imported game
+    to that game's [game folder](#whats-in-a-game-folder).
+    This means that higan doesn't have to regenerate
+    the manifest each time an imported game is loaded,
+    but it means that a future version of higan
+    with an incompatible manifest format
+    may be unable to play these games.
+    Note that higan also has an "Ignore Manifests" option
+    in the Advanced tab of
+    [its Configuration dialog](#the-configuration-dialog).
+  - **Use Database** causes icarus to use manifest information
+    from its database of known-good manifests,
+    if it's importing a game it recognises.
+    For unrecognised games,
+    and for all games if this box is unticked,
+    icarus gueses the manifest data.
+    This option is still relevant when "Create Manifests" is unticked:
+    higan uses icarus to generate a manifest when a game is loaded,
+    not just at import-time.
