Loading Predefined SettingsThe Predefined Settings list in the Settings Selector is loaded automatically during startup from the AstroFlat Pro Settings Folder. Each set of settings is stored in a Settings File of the same name with an ".afp extension. The Load Settings menu item in the Save / Load Predefined Settings menu, on the other hand, can load a AstroFlat Pro Settings File from any folder on your computer or network to which you have access. It can also load Settings Files created by earlier versions of AstroFlat Pro. Note that Settings Files loaded using the Load Settings menu item will NOT appear in the Settings Selector. If you would like the settings file to appear in the Settings Selector, you should select the Import Settings menu item. |
You may have additional Settings Files in other folders. For example, Settings Files that are rarely used so you don't want them to appear in the Settings Selector. You can load these Settings Files using the Load Settings menu item in the Save / Load Predefined Settings menu.
Simply click on the Load Settings menu item and a File Open dialog will be presented. Navigate to the folder containing the file you wish to load, select the file and click on the Open button. The selected set of predefined settings will be loaded into the plug-in.
Once you have loaded a Settings File using the Save / Load Predefined Settings menu, all of the controls will be set to the values specified by the Settings File you loaded just as though you had selected a set of Predefined Settings using the Settings Selector.
Note that Settings Files created by AstroFlat Pro will always have an ".afp extension.
