Profile Priority - madVR Labs Envy User Manual

With the Profile Bar set at "Incoming Resolution: 1080p (or Lower)" you will now see the menu
page as shown above. This profile appears as a selection in the Profile Bar because we added it
in section 3.5.2.
Note the SET tag. The SET tag indicates that this profile (since it is the one selected in the Profile
Bar) "sets" the menu item to Anti-Alias – just if there is no other active profile with higher priority.
We learn about profile priority next.
Also note the THRU tags. Recall from Section 2.3 that any settings in a profile which that profile
does not override are fully transparent. The THRU tag indicates the menu settings which are not
set by the profile and just passed thru. You can think of any setting tagged as THRU as if it did not
even exist in the menu page for that profile. SET and THRU tags only appear in profiles.
Further note that values shown for any settings marked as THRU will reflect the values from the
Active Settings. For example, if the Add Grain setting is temporarily changed in the Active Settings
to 1, the Add Grain value shown in the profile view will be 1 instead of Off, since the setting is
not used by the profile (it is THRU). When the temporary change reverts, the value will show Off.

3.7 Profile Priority

Given what we know about the highly transparent nature of profiles, and that any menu items
not "SET" by the profile simply pass thru, this raises the question of how conflicts are treated.
For example, what happens if a menu page exists in two different active profiles and has the
same menu item set differently in each profile?
