Apologies if the answer to this question is self-evident. I’m using a custom set of session options for import in dt 3.6, that have met all my needs - until yesterday when I was doing a favour for a house-guest. Today I realised I had to rebuild those options from start - not a big job, taking only about 15 minutes to make it work to requirements. But it would have been most helpful if I could have saved/restored those options from a file. Is there any way to do this or make a suitable preset in dt? The manual doesn’t given any hint.
What I would like to do is to have multiple versions of these session options so that I can easily switch to my imports into different folder/different naming conventions. I hope that makes sense.
Hmm, this doesn’t seem to do what I would like to do.
For example, it would be great if there was a drop-down box for each of the ‘naming pattern’ fields in the import dialog, which showed the history of previous settings.
If I remember correctly there’s a feature request arguing FOR adding import presets…
I’d like to add that I think we can make naming patterns do some variables completion. I remember it works in settings, does it work in import dialog or does it need to be enhnanced?
Yes, that was exactly where I thought to myself that presets would be very valuable, especially as I am quite slow in building a correctly formatted string for the patterns (and the feedback resulting from attempting to use syntactically invalid strings is limited: just failure to import any images is what I I experience)
