Using Templates

A template is a set of all dialog box settings, saved to a separate file on a disk.
Template files are stored in corresponding subfolders of the TEMPLATE folder in
the WiseImage root folder.
In WiseImage, templates are used to save and restore the parameters of
commands. In dialog boxes of such commands there is a Template button. If you
choose this button, then a pull-down menu is opened, containing the Load and
Save items. Using these commands, you can save current parameters to the
template, as well as restore the parameters of the current dialog box by loading the
existing template.
To save settings
1. Click on the Template button in the dialog box and choose Save from the menu.
2. Enter the template file name in the dialog box.
You can also click the Options button and add comments to the template in the
dialog box. (To read the template's comments right-click the file name then
choose Properties from the menu, Comments for the file are shown in the
Comments box of the Summary tab).
3. Choose OK.
To load the dialog box parameters from an existing template
1. Click the Template button in the command dialog box and choose Load from the
menu.
2. Select a file name from the list in the dialog box.
3. Choose OK.
