Saving a preference preset
When you have made your preferences settings, proceed
as follows to save all settings as a preset:
1. Make sure that the “Store marked preferences only”
option is not activated.
This is because this option is used for saving partial settings (see below),
as opposed to complete settings.
2. Click the Store button in the lower left section of the
Preferences dialog.
A dialog opens, allowing you to type in a name for the pre-
set.
3. Click OK to save the preset.
Your saved settings are now available from the Preference Presets
pop-up menu.
Loading a preference preset
To load a saved preference preset, simply select a preset
from the Preference Presets pop-up menu. The preset is
applied immediately.
Saving partial preferences settings
It is also possible to save partial preferences settings. This
is useful when you have made settings that only relate to a
certain project or situation, for example. When you apply a
saved partial preference preset, you only change the saved
settings. All other preferences will be left unchanged.
When you have made your specific preferences settings,
proceed as follows to save the partial settings as a preset:
1. Activate “Store marked preferences only”.
A new “Store” column is added to the Preferences list.
2. Click in the Store column of the Preferences items you
wish to save.
Note that if you activate a Preferences page that contains subpages, these
will also be activated. If this is not what you want, simply deactivated the
subpages.
3. Click the Store button in the lower left section of the
Preferences dialog.
A dialog opens, asking you to type in a name for the preset. It is a good
idea to choose a descriptive name for a partial preference preset, prefer
-
ably relating to the saved settings (for example “Editing–Controls”).
4. Click OK to save.
Your saved settings are now available from the Preference Presets
pop-up menu.
