- Tip: the Replace command will import tag codes much faster than the Import command. Use the Import command only when appending a relatively small number of tag codes (less than 25k) to a tag action.
- Tip: the Delete All and Replace commands will generate a lot of empty space in the P3 database. We recommend running the Compact and Repair utility after running any of these commands to optimize the database.

Assigning Wave Files to Sound Events
The profile settings enable or disable particular sound events only. Assigning a wave
file to a sound event is performed outside of any profile. Assigning a different
external wave file for a sound event will effect all profiles using that sound event,
and removing an external wave file from a sound event will disable that event in all
profiles.
P3 provides a shortcut to assigning wave files to specific sound events. By double-
clicking a specific sound event inside a profile, P3 will automatically launch the
Window's Sound Applet and position it to the sound event that was clicked.
