The Preferences dialog
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 deactivate 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, preferably 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.
