| 11 | TITLE Property/settings configurations |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | OCCURRENCE Anywhere (buttons with config icon) |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | DESCRIPTION This provides a general way to store and restore settings |
|---|
| 16 | from the window, where this has been called from. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | - Restore: restores a named configuration (from properties) |
|---|
| 19 | - Store: store current settings as named configuration (into properties) |
|---|
| 20 | - Delete: delete named configuration |
|---|
| 21 | - Load: load settings from a file, STORE and RESTORE |
|---|
| 22 | - Save: RESTORE stored settings and save them to a file |
|---|
| 23 | - Edit: allows to edit stored settings (see LINK{prop_configs_edit.hlp}) |
|---|
| 24 | - Factory defaults: reset all values to their defaults |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | You may enter a description for each stored configuration. |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | NOTES To keep stored settings permanently (i.e. for future arb sessions), |
|---|
| 29 | use 'Save properties' from the 'Properties' menu! |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | Saving configurations allows you to share them with other users. |
|---|
| 32 | The configs are saved in directory pointed to by environmentvariable |
|---|
| 33 | ARBCONFIG (which defaults to ~/.arb_prop/cfgSave). See also LINK{arb_envar.hlp}. |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | Saving + loading also provides |
|---|
| 36 | * cloning a config (=save it and reload it into a new config) |
|---|
| 37 | * renaming a config (=clone and delete it) |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | Predefined (hardcoded) configurations are marked by a leading '*'. |
|---|
| 40 | You may only restore or save such configurations. |
|---|
| 41 | |

| 42 | EXAMPLES None |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | WARNINGS Unfortunately we use the term 'configuration' for two things: |
|---|
| 45 | * species-selections aka editor-configurations (as described in LINK{species_configs.hlp}) |
|---|
| 46 | * configurations of settings/properties (as described here) |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | Please do not mix them up. |
