Profiles
A profile is a complete set of program settings (LogBook, radio, services…). Several profiles are useful e.g. for home and for trips, or for two operators on one computer. The Current profile button in the lower left corner of the configuration opens a menu:
- Profile list - choose a profile; the program restarts with the new settings,
- Save current profile as - a copy of the current settings under a new name,
- Edit profiles - Set selected profile as current, Change profile name, Clone profile, Delete profile (the current one cannot be deleted), Show profile file in Explorer.
Logs are shared by all profiles - a profile only remembers which LogBook is the current one. Profiles are in the CONFIGS\PROFILES folder.
