Change Folder
You don't need to store all of your presets in the default folder(s). Alloy also allows you to create custom folders of presets for different projects, archive presets, etc. To change the folder that Alloy will look to for presets, click the 'Change Folder' button and browse to the folder that contains the presets you want to use.
Alloy will also pick up and display any sub-folders that may be present in your chosen Alloy preset directory. You can add and remove presets and folders with the 'New Folder' and 'Remove' buttons inside of the Preset Manager.
Backing up Presets
Alloy's presets are stored as '.XML' files inside of your default or chosen preset directory. These '.XML' files will be named and categorized as they appear inside of your Alloy Preset Manager.
Backing up presets is as simple as copying files. Just browse to the location of your presets, select the directory or individual preset files you would like to backup, and copy them onto your backup drive or location.
To restore any presets that have already been backed up, simply copy the desired presets back into your Alloy preset directory, and on the next instantiation, Alloy will recognize their presence and display them in the internal Preset Manager.
