User Management
The User Login dialog has the following functionality.
New
This creates a new user.
The new user will start fresh with some basic minimal settings defined.
alert!
User names must be unique.
Copy
This operation will copy the selected user (e.g. our user Tom) to a new user we name
(e.g. Alice).
All the preference files for the selected user will be copied to the new user.
Delete
This deletes the selected user and clears their preference files.
note
You cannot delete user Default.
alert!
Deleting a user cannot be undone. If you think this might happen accidently (or if it
does), make sure you have backups.
Preference Basics
note
Unless you need to specify preferences that have no GUI equivalent, or need finer
control over them, you will not need to view or edit the preference files themselves.
Preferences are stored within sub-folders inside the ROOT folder.
There are preference files shared between all users and separate individual preference
files per user.
All modifications made to the preferences in the application GUI will be saved to
preference files stored inside the preference folder for the logged in user.
