the current composition.
Effects are placed within Effect Groups. Above, we see the group Colour
containing the effects Channel Mixer, Saturation, SOP and other tools.
The order of the top-level effect groups, the effects within each group and the
order the effects appear inside a group are controlled by configuration files.
Configuration Files
There are two possible configuration files.
One is the default configuration and exists in the application C:
\Phoenix\2014_1\root. The other user file will override the defaults if you
create it and place it in the same folder. By default, this user configuration file
does not exist.
Default Configuration File
Name :
defaultEffectList.prefs
Location :
C:\Phoenix\2014_1\root
This is the main configuration file for the drop-down list and defines the effect
groups and the effects that appear in each group by default.
Do not edit or modify this file. It will be over-written every application
install. If you want to modify the effect selector, edit the
userEffectList.prefs file.
