4.4 Profile Management Actions
When a profile is selected in the list, its settings are automatically loaded. Changes must
be saved by clicking the Save button at the bottom. Selecting another profile before
clicking the Save button will result in changes being lost.
The method for selecting multiple profiles for Download or Delete is browser-dependent,
but typically on Windows/Linux a range is selected by holding down Shift before clicking
on the second extent of the range, or by holding Control and clicking each individual
item; or on Mac OS X using Shift to select a range, and Command to select individual
items.
New: Create a new profile with blank fields.
Copy: Create a copy of the currently selected profile. Use this to clone one
of the preset profiles, to create your own derivative.
Export: Export the selected profile as a JSON file. Multiple profiles can be
exported at once.
Delete: Delete the selected profile, after displaying a confirmation dialog.
Multiple profiles can be deleted at once.
Default: Set the selected profile as the default, automatically selected when
the application starts.
Import: Import a previously Exported profile(s) from a JSON file.
