Presets

A preset is a group of settings do you want to save for use at any time, so you can save time because all settings are pre-defined (including directories).

You can access Presets options at the main menu.

Adding a Preset

Creating a new preset is simple: you just need to enter all the parameters for that preset.

When you add a new preset, the presets window will take the actual Comparator Fast parameters in order to save time.

When a new preset is being created, you must specify a name for it (any name or description to help you remember what's that preset about).

You may change any option as needed when adding a new preset, or later using the Edit Preset command at the main menu.

You may click on "folder search" buttons () if you want to browse for a folder.

Click the Add button when finish, then Close button to exit.

Edit Preset

Before select this option, please make sure you selected the right preset to edit.

Comparator Fast is "owner" of two names: Default and Last used settings. You're not allowed to "edit" those settings, must select any of the presets you saved.

Here you can do any corrections and modifications for the selected preset, even changing it's name.

Click Apply button to save the changes, Close button to discard/exit.

You may use the default mode, Edit with current settings. This mode allows to edit the current preset with the parameters you're using. If you want to edit the real saved preset, use the Edit with real preset settings.

Delete Preset

Before select this option, please make sure you selected the right preset to edit.

Comparator Fast is "owner" of two names: Default and Last used settings. You're not allowed to "delete" those settings, must select any of the presets you saved.

You'll be asked for a confirmation to delete selected preset:

If you want to delete that preset (in this example was named "Tmp's"), hit the Ok button. You may abort this with a click on Cancel button.

Save Preset

Select this option to save current preset's changes. This option is enabled automatically when a preset is changed.

If you want to revert changes (Undo), choose Undo changes to preset command from Main Menu or button next to Presets field.

Preset File spec

Here you can specify what files to include in the search, using wildcards.

The default is searching for all files (*.*). You can include several specifications, each one must be separated by a , or ;

Examples:

- Search all files with .DOC extension (documents) on selected directories: *.DOC

- Search all files with .XLS extension (spreadsheets) on selected directories: *.XLS

- Search all documents starting with the word "Report": REPORT*.DOC

- Search all documents and spreadsheets: *.DOC; *.XLS
