The Presets Manager offers several options for managing your collection of presets, including loading, merging, duplicating, renaming and deleting.

You can access it via the Main Menu » Presets » Manage or using the CTRL + P shortcut from the main window.

Load a preset

Load the selected preset, replacing the current set of rules.

Append a preset

Append the current set of rules with rules from the selected preset.

This can be a handy way of merging rules from multiple presets.

Copy a preset

Create a duplicate preset file with same rules.

This can be a handy way for creating a variation of an existing preset.

The duplicate preset will have the same base name with "COPY" appended to the end.

Rename a preset

Rename the selected preset.

You will be asked to enter the new name in an input prompt.

You can use path delimiters in the new name to create a directory structure for presets.

Edit a preset

Manually edit a preset file using Notepad (text editor).

Warning:

Avoid manual editing unless you really know what you are doing, and be aware that small mistakes can produce a corrupted preset.
The editing of presets should normally be performed through the main interface by loading a preset, changing the rules, and then saving the preset.

Example of content in a preset file:

Syntax:

Rule definitions are contained within sections headed by [Rule0], [Rule1] and so on.
Line ID= identifies the type of rule.
Line Config= contains encoded configuration of the rule.
- Parameters are separated by a semicolon (;).
- Each parameter is stored in Name:Value format.
- Parameter values are URL-encoded.

Delete a preset

Delete the selected preset.

This action physically deletes the preset file.
