If you choose to import a rack, you will be prompted for the location of the rack le. Note that import-
ing racks does not automatically add them to the preset list. If you want to add the imported rack as a
preset, you will also need to “save” it, as described next.
Save: This button displays a pop-up menu from which you can save the rack as a preset, or export it.
If you choose to exporting a preset, you will be prompted for a le name and destination path for the
exported le. Once the rack has been exported, it can be imported by using the load button’s import op-
tion.
When saving a rack as a preset, you have the option to either save the rack as a new preset, or to
select an existing rack preset and have the current rack overwrite it. This latter option is generally most
useful if yopu are making changes to an existing rack preset. Note though that changes made to a rack
preset will not affect any racks that were previously created from the preset.
Del: This button allows you to delete a rack preset. When clicked, it displays a pop-up menu showing
the current list of rack presets. To delete the preset, simply select it from this list.
Racks that have not been saved as presets are still available from the new lter icon, but will not be
available to other edits or projects.
Tip: You can use presets as a way to make copies of a rack. Depending on the nature of a rack lter,
it may not be desirable to have it be shared across a number of tracks, but you may still want more than
one instance of it. The solution is to save the rack as a preset, then create new racks from that preset.
Once you are done, you can delete the preset to tidy up behind yourself.
