Global preferences - defaults
You can define "default" (or machine-wide) settings for the following, which can override (replace) those set up in individual world files. The purpose of this is to allow you to easily set up preferred colours/triggers/aliases etc. and only have to amend them in one place to affect multiple worlds. The settings that can be made default are: Colours Triggers Aliases Macros Timers Command window font Output window font To set up defaults to be shared across multiple worlds: a) Open your favourite world, and then save as individual files your: Colours Triggers Aliases Macros Timers (there is a "save" button on each configuration screen to do this) You do not need to do them all. For instance, if you only want to share colours, then only save the colours. b) Use File -> Preferences -> Defaults (this dialog box) to select the files you saved in the above step c) Also select your preferred input and output font. d) For all worlds that are to share these saved files, open that world, and then using the appropriate configuration screen (eg. colours, triggers) check the box "override with default". From then on, the *next* time you open that world, it will load the world, and then load (and thus overwrite) the settings you have checked as "override with default". Also, any new worlds will use the default settings, thus new worlds will quickly take on your default characteristics. Note that the defaults, when loaded, *overwrite* your existing settings, so that the existing triggers, colours etc. are *lost*. If you really want to keep the existing settings, then you should save the world file under a different name (thus preserving the original). Colours: Default colours file.
