Add: clicking this
button adds the current Spectron settings as a new preset. You can type a name
and optionally add comments for the preset. Note that a few keys such as * or /
can not be used as preset names. If you try to type these characters in the name
they will be ignored. This is because presets are stored as files (for easy
backup and transferring). Their files names are the same as the name you give
the preset (for easy reference) and therefore characters that are not allowed in
Windows file names are not allowed in preset names.
Remove: select a preset from the list and click the Remove button to permanently delete it.
Update: select a preset from the list, click the Update button, and your current settings will become the settings for the selected preset. This is useful of course for selecting a preset, tweaking it, then coming back to the preset system and clicking Update to save your changes to the existing preset.
Note that you cannot "Cancel" an update of a preset. That is, adding, removing, and updating presets are done "in place" and are not reverted when you Cancel the preset system dialog.
Cancel: The Cancel button simply closes the preset system dialog and reverts the settings back to the last current settings, which would be either the settings when you entered the preset system or the settings of the last preset you created or updated while the preset system was open.
OK: Closes the preset system, but unlike the Cancel button, clicking the OK button loads the last preset you selected from the preset list.
Renaming Presets: You can double click on the name of a preset to enter the "edit" mode and then type a new name for that preset.
